   Rabbit finds some eggs in an old flowerpot while playing with Little Bear in the garden shed. When no bird returns to sit on them the toys decide to recruit Hoot for the job of hatching the eggs. Hoot is very demanding and the plan proves to be hard work for everyone.

   Sep 11, 1996 · 10m

   Little Bear is sure it must be teatime but Old Bear isn’t so sure because the clock has stopped. While Old Bear looks for the key to wind up the clock, the other toys, convinced the clock must be broken, try to mend it. Unfortunately they just make things much worse until Old Bear arrives to try and put things right. They still haven’t found the key though, but now the clock does seem to be trying to tell them something...

3. E3. The Castle

   Sep 18, 1996 · 10m

   While Little Bear and Duck are sorting through their farm set they find an old piece of castle wall. This gives them an idea and with the help of the other toys they create a new castle complete with a moat and drawbridge. Old Bear explains what sort of games you can play with a castle and they find a clever way to divide themselves into teams to play. With Little Bear firing paper cannon balls from the battlements, it looks as though it will be hard for Bramwell’s team to invade the castle but he has a very clever plan.

Old Bear suggests they have a competition to find objects that match the colour of the pencil they have chosen. They all set off in search of coloured objects that match their pencils.

At last the bread is ready but Little Bear has not forgotten that the birds need feeding too and he has a really good idea.
