(laughs) Hi.
Welcome to "Elmo's World."
Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
(bells chime) Wait for it.
Wait (laughs) for it.
Ah, hi. - (laughs) Hi, Elmo.
- Dress-up.
Wow.
Cool costume, Abby.
- Uh-huh. (Abby's wings whoosh)
Whoa, (laughs) bye-bye. - Woo.
- Boy, Elmo loves playing dress-up,
and wants to find out more. (bells chime)
Hey, (laughs) let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.
Let's call her together.
Oh, Smartie. - [Kids] Oh, Smartie.
- Yee-haw.
Did somebody say dress-up?
I love playing dress-up. - (laughs) Oh.
♪ (refrain syllables tune of "William Tell Overture") ♪
(Elmo joins singing refrain syllables)
- Whoa. (Elmo laughs)
Check out my costume.
I'm wearing my cowgirl hat and my vest.
- Whoa, snazzy.
Oh, Elmo wants to learn all about playing dress-up, Smartie.
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
- [Both] We look it up. (lighthearted upbeat music)
- [Smartie] Ooh, wow,
look at all the ways there are to dress up.
You can dress up like a doctor,
you can dress up like a pirate,
or a firefighter who helps people.
You can dress up like (whistle blows)
a referee,
or you can dress up to look super-silly.
And if you can't find what you need for your costume,
you can always make your own.
(electronic warbles) - (laughs) Smartie,
playing dress-up looks like so much fun. (laughs)
- It sure is.
And I reckon it's time for me to be moseyin' along.
- (laughs) Yeah. - That's cowgirl talk
for "see you later, Elmo."
- (laughs) Thank you, Smartie.
Bye-bye.
(laughs) Boy, there's so many
different ways to dress up.
(laughs) Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Oh, (laughs), let's play a game together, yeah. (laughs)
(lighthearted upbeat music) Come on, come on.
(playful music)
Yeah. (laughs)
(chalk whooshes)
(laughs) Elmo wonders if we can help our friend
dress up like an astronaut.
Are you ready?
Let's play.
How about these space boots?
- [Kids] Yeah.
- She can use those to walk on the moon.
Oh, and what about this hat?
- [Kids] No. - [Kid] That's a pirate hat.
- [Elmo] You're right. (laughs)
Astronauts don't wear pirate hats.
And what about this space suit?
Astronauts wear those, right?
- [Kids] Yeah.
- Hmm, and what else does she need
to dress up like an astronaut?
This boa?
Or this helmet? - [Kids] The helmet.
- [Elmo] That's right. (laughs)
The space helmet.
Now she's dressed up like an astronaut.
But wait a minute,
what if our friend doesn't want to pretend
to be a regular astronaut?
What if she wants to pretend to be a pirate astronaut?
- [Kids] Yeah. - Yeah, (laughs) wow.
So many people like to play dress-up.
Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle like to dress-up?
Oh, let's ask him.
Hey, Mr. Noodle. (laughs)
- [Kids] Hi, Mr. Noodle. - Hi, Mr. Noodle.
Oh, Mr. Noodle, do you like to play dress-up?
(assorted whimsical burbles) You do?
Can you tell us what you like to dress up as?
(whistle blows)
- [Kids] Yeah, tell us. (mechanical clicks)
- [Elmo] Oh, Mr. Noodle
likes to dress-up as a (horn blows)
baseball player. (toy horn honks)
Oh, (laughs) can Mr. Noodle show us how he dresses up
as a baseball player? (spring twangs)
- [Kids] Yes, show us, Mr. Noodle.
(child laughs)
No, that's a tutu, silly.
- A tutu is what a dancer wears.
(horns honk)
A baseball player wears a uniform.
- Yeah, that's right. You got it.
- (laughs) Now Mr. Noodle is dressed up
like a baseball player.
Good job!
(together) Bye, Mr. Noodle.
- Boy, learning new things makes Elmo so happy!
It makes him want to dance.

- Hi! (laughs)
Welcome to Elmo's world.
(laughs) Guess what Elmo is wondering about today?
Wait for it. Wait for it.
(upbeat music)
Getting dressed!
Aha! Rudy got dressed all by himself.
Good for you Rudy. You go, Rudy.
(laughs)
Boy, Elmo wants to learn all about getting dressed.
Oh, let's ask Elmo's friend, Smartie.
Let's call her together.
Oh, Smartie. - [Kids] Oh, Smartie.
(electronic warbles)
(laughs)
- Hiya, Elmo.
Sorry it took me so long.
I couldn't decide what to wear.
This, or this?
- Boy, that's a hard choice, Smartie.
They both look great!
Oh, but that's perfect,
Because Elmo wants to learn all about getting dressed.
- Well, what do we do to learn something new?
[Both] We look it up!
- Searching for getting dressed.
I've got you covered!
(upbeat music)
- [Smartie] Getting dressed is something you do
every day.
Some clothes you have to button.
And some clothes you have to zipper.
And some clothes have laces that you have to tie.
Like shoes.
And other clothes you just pull on,
like socks and sweaters.
Sometimes, getting dressed can be tricky.
But if you keep trying, you can do it!
Just be sure to wear the right clothes for the weather.
Woops! Better try that again.
- (laughs) Thank you, Smartie.
- Shoe thing!
(laughs)
Sure, shoe.
Well, I better figure out what to wear.
Bye, Elmo!
- Oh, bye-bye Smartie, see you later!
(laughs) Boy, getting dressed can be tricky.
Hey! That gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play game together.
Yeah! Come on, come on!
(whimsical music)
Elmo wonders if we can help our friend
get dressed for the different kinds of weather.
Are you ready? Let's play!
Look, this kid is on a cold mountain.
What should they wear?
The winter coat, the rain coat,
or the tuxedo?
How about the tuxedo?
- [Child] Not the tuxedo!
- [Elmo] Oopsie! The tuxedo looks really snazzy
but it's not warm enough for a snowy mountain.
- [Child] Try the winter coat!
- [Elmo] Looks like the coat is keeping them
nice and warm.
Now they're in the rain.
How should they get dressed for the rain?
- [Child] Rain coat!
- [Elmo] Yeah, the rain coat will keep them
dry in the rain.
Hurray, we did it!
Boy, getting dressed sure is tricky.
Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more!
How does Mr. Noodle get dressed?
Oh, let's ask him.
Hey Mr. Noodle!
(laughs) It's Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle.
Hello Mr. Noodle!
- [Kids] Mr. Noodle!
- Mr. Noodle, how do you get dressed?
(squeaks)
(escalating musical notes)
Wait a minute, is that how you put on a shirt?
- [Kids] No! It's on backwards.
(horn honks)
- [Elmo] Oh boy. The buttons go on the front!
(laughs)
- [Kids] Good job, Mr. Noodle!
- [Elmo] There you go.
Keep going, Mr. Noodle!
Okay, what comes next?
Mr. Noodle, you have to put your pants on first,
then your shoes! Silly!
- [Kids] Take your shoes off!
- [Elmo] There you go.
(buttons squeak)
Ta da!
- [Kids] Don't forget your vest.
(escalating musical notes)
- [Elmo] Hey! You did it, Mr. Noodle!
- [Kids] Yay, Mr. Noodle!
Thank you for showing us how to get dressed, Mr. Noodle!
Bye bye!
