Picture Segment Description
Guess what Elmo's thinking about today? Elmo opens Door to reveal a workyard full of construction vehicles.

Dorothy's Question Dorothy wants to know how you build a tower with blocks. Telly also makes his first of several recurring appearances in the episode, carrying a long wooden plank across the frame of the camera... in triplicate, each version of himself carrying a portion of the plank.

The Noodle Family Ms. Noodle tries to build a tower of blocks with a wagon full of broccoli. After nibbling on a stalk, she returns with several large blocks and manages to make a tower with the help of the Kids who encourage her, "You go, girl!" She knocks over the tower accidentally but rebuilds it again. And that's the way the tower tumbles!
Kids and Baby A girl makes a tower with cardboard blocks, while a boy has built a house of dominoes, with a moat that he collapses for the camera.
Elmo's Question Elmo wants to know how many nails it takes to build a picture frame. Telly returns with a saw and promises that what he's building is going to be great. Elmo realized that he saw Telly with a saw!
Quiz Elmo wants to know what else you can use to build things. You can't use a telephone or a spaceship to build things, but you can use a crane. You can't use a banana or a birthday cake to build things, but you can use a screwdriver. You can't use a mailbox or a refrigerator to build things, but you can use a jackhammer before you build things. It breaks things apart, which works for Oscar.
Video E-Mail Rosita and Snuffy have built a fort out of boxes, which Snuffy drags away with him when his mommy calls him in for dinner. Telly once again teases that he's building something special because it's hammer time!
Film Elmo's friend Kate builds a doghouse with her father.
TV Cartoon The Building Things Channel features the Construction Lady dancing the Construction Dance. Coming up next, "Nailhouse Rock."

Interview Telly finally, and rather dramatically, reveals that he's been building a tiny wooden triangle. Then, Elmo talks to a bulldozer who describes the controls inside. He even pushes through the walls of Elmo's room!
Tickle Me Land Dorothy imagines Elmo as a construction worker.
