While Little Bear and Duck are sorting through their farm set they find an old piece of castle wall.

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.

It’s winter and snow has covered everything in the garden. The toys have fun playing on a sledge and building a wonderful snowman. Little Bear is worried that the birds must be very hungry as their food is hidden under the snow. At lunchtime the toys all go inside to make bread snowmen to go with Old Bear’s delicious soup. While they are waiting for them to cook, they tell each other food stories and become more and more hungry. 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.

Old Bear is busy redecorating the bathroom. Rabbit thinks decorating looks like fun and gets the other toys to come and lend a hand.

Little Bear and Rabbit find Duck trying to improve his flying skills. They decide to try to help him but their various contraptions don’t seem to be too successful; even Little Bear ends up flying further than Duck.

The triangles of cloth give Duck a good idea and when the toys all go out in the garden they do see a bit of flying after all.

EP8 The Jolly Dragon Oct 23, 1996

Old Bear is reading Little Bear a very exciting book about a dragon. When Old Bear explains that there aren’t any real dragons, Little Bear decides to pretend to be a real dragon living in a cave, just like the one in the book. But it isn’t until the other toys arrive that he discovers how realistic his dragon mask is. It takes Old Bear to sort out the problem of just too many dragons.

The next morning the toys decide having a guest is not as much fun as they thought and Old Bear thinks of a plan that might persuade her to go home.

EP10 Little Bear's Cold Day Nov 06, 1996

It is a very cold day and all the toys are trying to think of ways to keep warm. They play various games that involve running, skipping and rowing but as soon as they stop they feel cold again. Zebra even suggests that they hibernate under a pile of leaves. Ruff thinks that a game of catch would be a better idea. However, it isn’t until they are in the middle of the game that they realise just why they have been feeling so cold all day.

EP11 Ruff and the Big Wheel Nov 13, 1996

When Little Bear accidentally breaks a wheel on Zebra’s cart, Old Bear finds a box of shiny, round lids to mend it. There are enough lids left over to make a lovely go-cart. When it is finished it turns out that Ruff is too big and needs a bigger cart of his own. But there are only two wheels left. Old Bear hunts in the cupboard under the stairs and finds a wheel that is much bigger than all the others. You can’t make a go-cart with only one wheel but what Old Bear does make is even more fun.

However a night-time visitor comes to their rescue and the birthday goes on getting better long into the night.

It is a lovely warm day and the toys are out in the garden. Duck is weeding, Bramwell is planting seeds and Jolly Tall is watering.
