Do you have a furry friend? One with four legs? A waggy tail and a perhaps a drooly mouth? Of course, we're referring to dogs. And if you don't have one, you'll probably want one after listening to this episode (sorry to the adults in your life!).

This week in Geraldine and Kate's happy pants pockets are a frisbee, a stick, some bones, and much more fun doggy items. They'll summon a few new characters along the way, tell you a story, share fun facts, and tech  you how to dance the BeeeeeeeOOP Walk with Bluey and Bingo!

Is chicken soup good for your health? ...not if you’re the chicken!

We reckon this week's episode of Happy Pants IS good for your health. It's all about soup. Geraldine and Rebecca bring you funny (in their opinion) jokes, interesting facts, problems to solve and, as usual, plenty of songs and a great story.

The objects in Geraldine and Jo's happy pants this week are all a little... well, a little wrong. The brush is too small. One t-shirt is too long, the other too short. The broom is too big. They're all opposites! And that will be the topic of this week's episode. 

You'll hear a story, do some singing and dancing, a little bit of maths and find out the definitions of a few big words. And this week, there'll even be fairy sprinkles!
