py hi everyone uh what are you all

chatting about great Grand Pappy is

telling us stories about when he was

young yes we'd love to hear more of

grandpappy's stories that's a great idea

Lily you know in the old days grandpappy

was the papy in papy

land that was a long time

ago I know that's what makes it so

exciting how about you boys and girls

you probably have grandparents or older

aunts and uncles or Neighbors who could

tell you lots of neat stories about the

way things used to be you're right py

it's lots of fun to hear about how

things were different in the old days

hey grandpappy you knew my grandpa Elmer

didn't you sure did Elmer he used to sit

in a chair right in my cabin too and my

good friend fur bear lived right next

door and there was a different tree

named Woody in the front yard I've heard

stories about how you used to draw

alphab B man grandpy ah yes I remember

it well wouldn't it be grand to go back

and visit the old days it's sure would

say grandpappy uh the wishing wheel

could take us back in time what do you

say yeah that's a great idea oh please

grandpappy we want to learn more about

the old days why

not great as I recall the cabin looked

much different back then here goes

grandpappy every morning I greet my

friends morning fur

bear good morning

papy morning

Woody hello

peppy I know just the place for

this how about right

here

no oh right here no no no oh right here

seems like a real good spot there we go

morning Grand peppy morning son oh it's

a beautiful day

today it's a beautiful day in pepul land

with all sorts of colors but no birds

are singing what no birds are singing

not one hey little fella wake

up you don't want to get up do

[Music]

you that a way to get up

[Music]

up correction the birds are singing

thanks py hey

Sunny don't you know what time it

is wow Grand peppy you weren't kidding

the cabin sure looked different but your

grandpa Elmer still said don't you know

what time it is right Elmer yes he did

but I see he smoked a pipe smoking is

something I'd never do well things were

different then now we know how unhealthy

smoking is for the smoker and for

everyone around them too okay grandpappy

continue with your story well every day

we draw something new just like today

but the wishing wheel was different then

as you'll

see if you haven't gotten them already

go get your crayons and paper because

everything starts right here at the

drawing table with a blank sheet that's

right we start with absolutely nothing

except for an

idea okay does anybody have an idea out

there huh PE up I can't hear

you did you say wishing

wheel that's a wonderful

idea why didn't I think of that well

we'll give her a spin and this will help

us start our day off

[Music]

Alphabet

Man excellent

okay oh boy well boys and girls do you

have your crayons and your paper

ready okay we're going to draw Alphabet

Man and the first thing we're going to

do is we're going to use the letter O

for his face which is basically a circle

now before you put your cray your marker

down kind of get your wrist going in a

circle like this see that you we're

practicing to make a circle see which is

basically an O and when you're ready and

I'm getting ready here let it go here we

go it's an O see okay good now our

alphabet man needs a nose doesn't he and

a nose looks like the letter O again

doesn't it okay so let's draw a nose

using the letter O good now he has two

eyes doesn't he so we'll use the letter

O for his eyes Okay and y'all know how

many eyes we have don't

you two eyes Okay one more o here and

one more o there okay now we'll put the

pupils in there because he has to look

at it doesn't he okay here we go one

more little o here here and one more

little o there and let's color them in

okay good now our little alphabet man

needs eyebrows doesn't he CU we all have

them don't we okay let's put some

eyebrows on I'm using the letter c but

we'll draw them upside down okay now

follow me one C upside down and another

C upside down okay H I think he needs a

mouth now so what letter of the alphabet

could be his mouth well it could be

probably a few things but I think a u

would be a good mouth for alphabet man

so we use the letter U for his

mouth and we'll start right below his

nose there's the letter U and he's

smiling at us isn't

he okay Alpha that man needs ears now

doesn't he so he can hear us okay well

we'll use the letter c for his ears one

C

here and another backward

C over here there we

go now let's let's put shoulders on our

Alphabet Man okay we need shoulders now

we'll use the letter i for his shoulders

okay now follow what I do follow right

along here we go one letter I and

another letter i and we kind of slanted

them down a little bit okay and we'll

put another letter I here and another

letter I right over there now there's

there's his shoulders but we'd like to

put a collar on them okay because we're

going to put a tie on our Alphabet Man

okay he's all dressed

up okay we'll use the letter W for his

collar okay and we'll start right here

at this point here's the letter de

all the way up to his chin and back over

to the other side there's the letter W

right there now we'll use the letter V

for the knot on its tie okay here we go

there's a v right there and we'll put an

upside down V for the tie okay there's

an upside down V right

there now we need another v a real big

one to put the tie so it looks like his

tie is tucked in his suit okay so we'll

put a big V right here just like this

there we go now here's the fun part you

can put polka dots on its tie or or

stripes or just color it in solid

whatever you feel like doing okay but

I'm going to put stripes on my alphabet

man you want to count along with me one

stripe two

stripes three stripes four

Stripes five six seven

Stripes oh boy this is fun let's see now

what's missing on Alphabet Man does

anybody see anything in

particular I know he needs hair doesn't

he I bet you guessed that one already

didn't you let's put some hair on his

head using the letter I again okay we'll

put three strands of the hair on his

head he's going bald isn't

he one eye two eyes and three eyes well

looks like alphabet man's pretty well

done here I don't see anything else we

have to do to him but how does yours

look does it look like mine well maybe

just a little

bit okay well whenever you want to draw

a picture using letters on the alphabet

you'll know how to do it isn't that

right alphabet man that's right

what happens when you start with just

one little idea alphabet man turned into

an old tree just like Woody hey let's go
