Programme Outline

Tootie has moved to a new house. His friends, Sunny, Adam and May pay him a visit and look around his new home. To their surprise, Tootie has put the furniture and things in the wrong places. The children then help Tootie move everything to where they belong. Afterwards, they have snacks, watch a puppet show on the television and play a guessing game. All of them enjoy the visit.
