- [Child] How do you wrap a present, Mr. Noodle?

- [Elmo] Oh yeah, you need paper!

- [Child] Use the paper to wrap the present.

- [Elmo] Not that much paper, Mr. Noodle.

No, no, stop Mr. Noodle.

- [Child] That's enough, that's enough paper.

- [Child] Too much!

- [Child] That's enough, that's enough Mr. Noodle.

- [Child] Mr. Noodle, no, it's too much.

- [Children] Try again Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] Not too much this time Mr. Noodle,

be careful.

- [Child] You need scissors to cut the paper Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] Oh yeah, you need scissors Mr. Noodle.

- [Child] Yeah, use the scissors.

- [Elmo] Very good Mr. Noodle, okay now cut the paper.

- [Child] You cut the paper good Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] Yeah, wrap the present.

Oh no, no, no.

- [Children] You need to tape.

- [Elmo] Yes, yeah, that's the tape.

Yeah, very good.

Now, pull out some tape Mr. Noodle.

There you go.

- [Child] Not that much tape.

- [Child] Just a little bit missing Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] It's going to get stuck together.

(children laughing)

- [Child] Too much tape Mr. Noodle.

It's sticking to you.

- [Child] Try again Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] All right, now finish wrapping the present.

- [Children] Finish it Mr. Noodle.

- [Child] Keep going, Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] Yeah, there's more.

- [Child] You have to wrap the ends of the present.

- [Child] Both ends.

- [Child] Just a small piece of tape. Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] Just a little.

That's enough Mr. Noodle.

(wrapping paper crinkling)

- [Children] Yay!

You did it Mr. Noodle.

- [Elmo] You wrapped the present, yay!

(Elmo laughing)

- [Child] Uh oh, you wrapped your finger Mr. Noodle.

- [Child] Take it off.

- [Child] I wonder what the present was.

- Dorothy wants to ask someone else.

How do you wrap a birthday present?

(upbeat music)

- Hi Dorothy, this is how you wrap a birthday gift.

Put it in a special bag, happy birthday Dorothy.

(upbeat music)

- Dorothy this is how I wrap a present.

I put a big bow on it.

You have to take the paper off the sticky part

then you stick it on.

Happy birthday Dorothy.

(upbeat music)

- This is how I wrap a present Dorothy.

I fold the paper onto the box like this.

(foil crinkling)

Then I fold the corners

(foil crinkling)

and I do the same thing on the other side.

(foil crinkling)

Now, I put a bow on.

There, happy birthday Dorothy.

(upbeat music)

- Thanks kids, thanks Dorothy

and now Elmo will ask a baby.

- Hello baby, hi, hi.

Baby, how do you wrap a gift.

(Elmo chuckles)

Thank you baby.

(Elmo kissing)

And now Elmo had a question for you.

How many candles are on this birthday cake?

Let's count them and see.

Here we go--

- [Children] One, two, three, four,

five, six, seven.

- Seven, yeah, seven birthday candles.

How many elephants does it take to blow candles out?

(Elephant trumpeting)

(cake squirting) (Elmo laughing)

Silly elephant.

One, thank you elephant.

Great counting and great candle blowing.

Boy, it must be the elephants birthday too.

(Elmo laughing)

Oh, that make Elmo wonder, what can have birthdays

and what can't?

Elmo wants to know, don't you?

(drawers talking gibberish)

Oh, it sounds like the drawer knows.

Open up drawer.

(Elmo yelling)

(upbeat music)

Do birthday cakes have birthdays?

- [Children] No.

- [Elmo] But, you can eat birthday cake at a birthday party.
