What's in Geraldine and Kate's happy pants pockets this week? A whistle, a stopwatch and a horn. What could that all be about? Let's give you a hint: it rhymes with ACE and is fun to run or swim or skate!

Kate and Geraldine are watching ants doing a dance while eating plants this week on Happy Pants, because this week is all about making rhymes! Most songs and poems are made using rhymes, so if you think you have some rhymes, try singing them! Did you know that there are two colours that don't have any words that rhyme with them?

Kate and Geraldine both have lovely combs in the pockets of their happy pants this week, because they're ready for this week's episode of Happy Pants which is all about Hair! Did you know that some countries developed the same sorts of hairstyles despite never meeting one another? And different types of animals have hair that can be used for all sorts of stuff, like making brushes or clothes! Wouldn't it be nice if we could grow nice, soft hair, just like a sheep does?

Kate and Geraldine's happy pants look shiny and new this week after having a scrub in the bath, because this week's episode of Happy Pants is all about bath time! Did you know that a few hundred years ago, people would go months or even years without having a bath? But people seemed to bath more once the rubber ducky was invented, which was about 200 years ago!
