Set in the fictional land of Nara, Piplings are creatures with large heads and eyes, and they have the ability to fly and float around. The Piplings practice yogo, a gentle form of exercise similar to yoga. They demonstrate several poses inspired by the things they observe in their homeworld, Nara, such as owls, trees, and insects. Later in each episode, children (referred to as Cheebies) arrive and practice the same poses demonstrated by the Piplings at the start of the show. Viewers are encouraged to participate.

Ep 1

Moving Things

May 26, 2009

De Li stands on a box to reach some plumatoes on a tree. Having picked the fruit, she takes the box to her pod, but when she gets back from Yogo the box has gone! It turns out that each Pipling is borrowing the box for his or her own needs. They each take it, not realising that they're depriving the others of it. When the children arrive, they help by taking it to each Pipling. De Li realises that they can all use the box as long as they work together.

Showtime

May 28, 2009

Lau Lau is planning a big show. She gathers everyone at Yo Jojo's performance area and does her dance. The others are so impressed, they join in! But their moves aren't right and worse, they're taking the limelight away from Lau Lau. When the children arrive, she shows them her dance and this time she wants them to join in. Everything is working in synch and it looks great! But the other Piplings are wistful and wish they could dance too. Eventually, the children teach them the proper moves, and they all put on the show as a group. Lau Lau is delighted... She realises that everyone dancing together really is the most fun and that perhaps she should have included them from the start!

Ep 3

Trumpet

May 19, 2009

Yojojo and Nok Tok find a hollowed-out trumpet-like branch and blow through it to make a loud noise. They're so delighted with the sound that they blow even harder! Every time they blow, they are overwhelmed with joy at the sound that it makes. But there's a problem: Lau Lau is trying to dance with her narabug, and the loud noise keeps scaring it away. When the children arrive, they show Nok Tok and Yojojo a way of playing the trumpet more softly. Eventually they manage to produce such a gentle tune that the narabugs actually like the sound and come back to dance with Lau Lau.

Strawberries

May 11, 2009

De Li discovers a strawberry patch but then gets called away to Yogo. After Yogo she wants to pick lots of strawberries to share with her friends but she can't find the patch again. Nok Tok shows her how to use her one strawberry to help her narabug sniff out the patch again. She fills a basket and heads back. But, as she distributes them, she forgets to leave any for herself. Now there are none left for her narabug to sniff and get the scent again. The children help by splitting up and searching out the patch. Everyone else gets to the strawberries before De Li. They pick all but one and head off to look for her. When she arrives she gets her narabug to sniff the one remaining strawberry and find another patch. Instead it leads her to Nok Tok's pod where the others are all waiting to share their strawberries with her!

Snuggly Nest

Jun 2, 2009

Lau Lau is sewing the last of four beautiful cushions using narabug thread. After Yogo, she presents three of them to the others but then realises that her own is missing. There's just a length of lilac thread leading off into Nara. Lau Lau and the other Piplings follow the thread but it keeps coming to an end. Each time it does, Lau Lau thinks they should give up and turn back, but the others convince her to continue and eventually find the thread again. It leads to feathers, a rustle in a bush, and the sound of birdsong. Eventually it's Lau Lau who perseveres and, along with the children, they discover a beautiful bird who has used the cushion to create a wonderful nest!

Ep 6

Whistle

Jun 4, 2009

Nok Tok sees Lau Lau whistle up to the sky and her narabug come down to land on her head. What a great trick! But when he tries, he discovers he can't whistle. All it seems he can blow are raspberries! Lau Lau tells him to blow gently and to practise. But when Yojojo realises that he is the only Pipling who can't whistle, he wants to get round the process of learning. When the children arrive, he tries to do the narabug call using a whistle stick instead, but it doesn't work like real whistling. Then he tries to use his Anything Machine to create a whistle sound, but that doesn't bring his narabug down either. The children try whistling too but one of them can't. So she encourages Nok Tok to practise with her. Now that he doesn't have to practise alone, Nok Tok applies himself and eventually they finally get the hang of it. Everyone whistles and all the narabugs flutter down and land on their heads.
