What this song is about
Where Did the Bubble Land? is a bath-time song and a guessing game in one. A soap bubble floats up, everyone asks "Where?", and it lands on a body part: toes, knees, tummy, head. Children shout the answer, wash that part and pop the bubble. Toddlers practise naming body parts while getting clean, and the call-and-response keeps them busy at the moment they would rather splash.
The song also deals with the hard bit of bath time, rinsing hair, with a calm routine: tip your head back, chin up, "gentle rain" behind the head, and eyes stay dry. It is honest about safety without frightening anyone: the first verse has the grown-up checking the water is warm, not hot, and staying right beside the child. In the bridge, the Dragon blows one giant bubble that lands on everyone, then the plug comes out and it is time for a towel hug.
Sung and danced with the Dragon, our mascot who learns new things alongside children.

For grown-ups
Never leave a baby or young child alone in the bath, even for a moment. Check the water before they get in: it should be warm, not hot.
- Run cold water first, then hot, and mix well; test with your wrist or elbow, or a bath thermometer.
- Stay within arm's reach the whole time; gather towels and clothes before you start.
- Let the water out after the child is out of the bath.

Questions parents ask
How can I make hair washing easier for a toddler?
The song uses the tip-back, chin-up routine: the child looks up at the ceiling while water is poured behind the head, so it runs down the back and not into the eyes.
Which body parts does the song name?
Toes, knees, tummy and head, each with its own action: wiggle, knock, tickle and a gentle rinse.
What age is it for?
Ages 1 to 5. Even before children can sing, they can point and say "pop!".

The Frog King
A princess drops her golden ball into a well and promises a frog anything to get it back. She does not mean a word of it. Her father makes her keep every word of it, and the frog is turned back into a prince not by a kiss but by the moment she finally loses her temper.
The Ugly Duckling
A large grey bird hatches in a duckyard and is bitten, pecked and pushed about until he leaves. He survives a marsh, a very opinionated cat and hen, and a winter that nearly kills him. At the end he flies at a flock of swans expecting to be killed for daring to come near, and they welcome him, and only then does he look down and see what he is.
