− | :1. The album cover this record came in. That's easy enough. On the album cover is a special color wheel that's fun to play with while listening to the song "Just Three Colors." And there's a big picture map that make it easier to follow the story "The Magic Cookie." |

||
− | :2. For "Clink Clank" you'll need a toy whistle. Or a couple of Kitchen pans. Or something that rattles - like a tin can with a few marbles or stones inside. Better yet, have all three things handy. |
||
+ | File:HavinFunErnieBert8track.jpg|{{GNH|8-track}}Sesame Street Records<br>T 5006 |
||
− | :3. For "Simple Song" something to play a melody on. A toy piano or xylophone is fine, but you don't really need them. Three pansor pots or tin cans will do. Just so they make three different musical notes -high middle and low - when you tap them with a spoon or pencil. (Better not us glasses though. I tried that and broke one.) |

+ | Image:noimage-big.png|{{GNH|Cassette}}Sesame Street Records<br>C 79011 |

− | :4. Something to draw with. We'll be needing that for "The Drawing Song" as you might guess. Paper, pencil crayons, marker pens...blackboard and chalk...anything like that. |

− | :And that's all there is to it. By the way, don't worry about the kids making a mess on the living room rug with all this stuff. At the end of the record we even have a clean up song. That was Bert's idea. He's a very tidy person. |
