Episodes

This week in Play School we have fun retelling traditional fairy tales. A fairy tale is a story told to children concerning the adventures of mythical characters such as fairies, unicorns, mermaids, giants and elves. These stories often involve princes and princesses and modern versions normally have a happy ending. Fairy tales often begin with the stock line "Once upon a time" and end with "they lived happily ever after".

Throughout the week, the Play School presenters and toys have fun dressing up and retelling these magical stories. Each day, the Once Upon a Time Storybook is opened to reveal a new adventure. A magical teapot weaves its way through stories involving kings and queens, mermaids, wizards, genies, unicorns and fairies. On Friday, all these magical characters come together for a banquet.
