- Hi!
Welcome to Elmo's World.
Guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
(tinkling)
Wait for it.
Wait for it.
(laughs) Birthdays!
Happy birthday!
Yay!
Boy, Elmo loves birthdays
and wants to find out more about them.
Let's ask Elmo's friend Smartie.
Let's call her together.
- [All] Oh Smartie!
- Wee!
Hi, Elmo.
Happy birthday.
Can we pretend its your birthday?
- Yeah, sure, okay.
- Happy pretend birthday, Elmo.
- Yay!
Thank you, Smartie.
Boy, that's perfect because today Elmo
wants to learn all about birthdays.
- Well, what do we do
to learn something new?
- [All] We look it up.
- Searching for birthdays.
Here we go.
On your birthday you celebrate
the day you were born.
Kids have birthdays
and grownups have birthdays too.
Each time you have a birthday,
you're one year older.
There are lots of things
to do on your birthday,
like have a party, play games,
and you can help people you love
celebrate their birthdays too.
(Elmo giggles)
There are just so many exciting ways
to celebrate a birthday.
- But Smartie, how can Elmo celebrate
his pretend birthday?
- Easy.
Just blow out the pretend candles
on your pretend birthday cake.
- (laughs) Okay.
- And don't forget to make a wish.
- Oh, right.
(exhales)
(laughs)
- So?
What was your wish?
- To blow out all the candles (laughs).
- (laughs) Great job blowing
out the pretend candles.
See ya later.
- Bye bye, Smartie.
Thank you.
Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
Let's play a game together.
Yeah, come on, come on (laughs).
(playful music)
This girl is turning three years old.
Which cake has the right
number of candles for her?
Let's count the candles.
- [All] One, two, three, four, five.
Too many.
- [Elmo] Let's try again.
How many candles now?
- [All] One.
- [Child] Now there're not enough candles.
- [Elmo] Okay.
Elmo will try again.
Let's count.
- [All] One, two, three.
- Yeah!
Great job.
Yay!
Boy, Elmo thinks it's fun
to help people celebrate their birthdays
and give birthday presents.
Boy, that makes Elmo wonder even more.
Does Mr. Noodle know how
to wrap a birthday present?
Let's ask him.
Hey, Mr. Noodle!
(laughs) It's Mr. Noodle's
brother Mr. Noodle.
- [All] Hi, Mr. Noodle.
- [Elmo] Mr. Noodle,
do you know how to wrap
a birthday present?
You do?
Show us, Mr. Noodle.
(laughs) Did Mr. Noodle
make that birthday present
for his friend?
- [Girl] That's nice of you, Mr. Noodle.
- [Boy] Now you can start wrapping.
(beat boxing)
- Um?
- [Child] No, Mr. Noodle.
Not rap like music.
Wrapping paper.
- [Elmo] Mr. Noodle is
wrapping the present.
- [Child] Don't wrap yourself.
Wrap the present.
- [Girl] That's enough tape, Mr. Noodle.
- [All] Stop taping.
- [Child] You're silly.
- Elmo's sure that your
friend will like the present.
Thank you, Mr. Noodle.
Bye bye.

It makes him want to dance.
