You’re getting to be a big boy (introduction song)
‘Caillou’s valentines’
One fine morning mommy made Caillou and Rosie an extra special breakfast. “Here
you go, enjoy,” Mommy says.
“Thanks mommy. Look rosy, hearts! ” says Caillou. “That’s right Caillou, it’s a very special day today.”
“Oh thank you! They’re beautiful!” “Is it your birthday mommy?”, “oh no Caillou, it’s Valentine’s Day.”
Caillou remembered Valentine’s Day. He had gone to a Valentine’s party last year at Leo’s.
“It’s the day when people tell other how much they care about them.” “But you tell mommy that all the time.”
“Yes, but sometimes it’s nice to show it too with flowers or a card.” “We have something for you and Rosie too.”
“Happy Valentine’s Day. Now you each have your very own Valentine.” “Thanks mommy,” says Caillou.
“Thank you,” says dad.
Caillou liked his stickers very much but he was curious about the little boy with the arrow.
“Who’s this daddy?” “that’s Cupid. It’s his job to fly around delivering love to people using his bow and arrow.
“Perhaps we had better put away the stickers for now and finish our breakfast,” says mom. “Good idea and Caillou, you don’t want to be late for play school I hear Miss Martin has a special Valentine’s Day planned.” “She does? Oh boy!”
“Can anyone tell me what today is?”, asked Miss Martin. (Caillou raises his hand)
“Yes, Caillou?” “It’s Valentine’s Day,” answers Caillou. “That’s right! And today we’re going to make
special Valentine’s cards for all our play school friends. You’ll all get to decorate some cards so you can give one to each of your playmates. When we’re all done, we’ll deliver them to these mailboxes and then everyone can take theirs home with them.
Caillou was having a lot of fun making Valentine cards. He wished every day could be Valentine’s Day. “Mine is for my very best friend.” Says Caillou. “Hey mine too!” “Nice picture Leo. Hmmmm…” Suddenly Caillou’s Valentine didn’t seem quite so special anymore. “And I really like yours,” said Leo. “Thanks”
knowing Leo liked the Valentine made Caillou feel much better, especially since the Valentine was for him.
Wonderful! when you’re all finished we can start delivering them,” said Miss Martin.
“I’m done.” “Me too!”
“One for Emma. “Now Leo’s mailbox, and you’re done. Good job!”
“It’s your turn Caillou.” Says Miss Martin. “Do you need any help?” “No thanks, Miss
Martin. I can do it myself.:” Answers Caillou. “Now for my very best friend Leo. “
Leo’s was a very last mailbox and Caillou had run out of cards. He couldn’t find the card he’d made for Leo anywhere. “Is something the matter Caillou?” Asks Miss Martin. “I can’t find Leo’s Valentine. I think I lost it,” answers Caillou.
“Oh dear! Tell you what, why don’t we have our snack now and while the class is eating, you can have a look for it?” “But what if I can’t find it? Leo is my best friend. I have to give him a Valentine!”
“We could always make him another one yeah?” “Can you help me miss Martin?” Asks Caillou. “Of course I can! Let me get the class seated for their snacks and we’ll work together on it. ”
Miss Martin had special valentine’s cookies for everyone, but Caillou was too busy to eat.
“That’s beautiful Caillou!” Says Miss Martin. “Thanks, but I still want to add something else.”
“Sure, I can help you with that. ‘L’ for Leo. I’m sure he’ll love it.”
“Open yours Leo,” says Caillou. “That one’s from me. Do you like it?” “Yeah! ‘L’ for Leo! Thanks Caillou.” Answers Leo.
“Happy Valentine’s Day Leo!” “Happy Valentine’s Day Caillou!”
HELLO SPRING!
Winter was almost over spring was on its way, and the snow was melting. Caillou’s snowman was starting to melt –
Caillou decided to fix him up again.
“You look much better now Mr. Snowman,” Says Caillou. “Caillou… it’s lunch time!” “Coming! I’ll be
back after lunch,” Caillou says to the snowman.
After lunch, Caillou is ready to play in the snow some more, but there was a big surprise waiting for him. “Oh no!”
Caillou was sad about all the snow melting. He really liked playing in it.
“Hello sweetheart. What’s wrong?” Asks mom. “My snowman melted. The snow is almost all gone.”
“That’s too bad honey, but you know what? That means spring is coming.” “I don’t like
spring, I like winter.” “Oh but there are lots of nice things about springtime! The weather is warmer, the days are longer, the flowers start coming up.” “Pretty flowers!” Says Caillou’s little sister.
“Hmm, why don’t you take off your coat honey. I’m putting away all our winter clothes. We won’t be needing them again until next winter.”
But Caillou didn’t want to put his coat away. He didn’t want winter to be over. He said, “No. I’m gonna play in
the snow some more. “Thanks sweetie.”
The sunshine was nice and warm. It felt good. “What’s up sport?” Asks dad. “My snowman melted.” “All the snow is melting. That’s what happens when springtime comes. “I don’t want spring to come. I want it to be winter all year” “Springs not so bad. Can you give me a hand and hold the bag?” dad asks Caillou. “Sure!”
“The leaves are yucky.” says Caillou. “Yep! That’s why I’m cleaning the place up so it looks nice. And in a few weeks we can plant flowers. “Can we plant the vegetable garden too?” “You bet!”
Caillou remembered how much fun it was to plant vegetables last year. He was looking forward to doing it again.
are you putting them in the garbage this
isn’t a garbage can it’s a composter we
put old leaves and plants and bits of
food in here and after a while it turns
into nice dirt we can put in the garden
to help the plants grow Caillou was very
surprised he thought the leaves turning
into dirt was just like magic
now that I’m all done why don’t you and
I go for a walk we could go to the park
yeah
only let’s get you a lighter jacket you
don’t need your big winter coat anymore
so Caillou put on his spring jacket and
he went with Daddy to the park it felt
good not to wear his thick winter coat
and his mittens and his big scarf
anymore look
that’s a whopping right I didn’t know
you were a bird expert Robin’s have red
tummies we learned that in play school
he’s looking for worms to eat worms

Miss Martin says that all the birds that
went away for the winter come back again
in the spring that’s right and the
animals that sleep through the winter
wake up like bears you bet Caillou is
glad the birds were coming back and the
animals were waking up the snow is gone

started thinking of all the other things
he could do now that the snow was gone
