3. Minute make it time
4. Colour Kids

Then he wakes up the shapes and they do a song and dance, followed by a randomly selected shape (circle, triangle, square or rectangle) to form a picture or to find how many (particular shape) are there.   This series has received the BAFTA Children's Awards 2009.
