It's another egg-citing day in Happy Pants Headquarters! Do you know why?

That's right: it's Easter time for those who celebrate. Today Kate, Geraldine and Maddie decorate Easter Eggs, listen to some fun music and hear a story about the Easter Bunny. They also talk about the origin of certain traditions like hot cross buns or chocolate eggs.

Did you know that Easter Eggs haven't always been made of chocolate? Imagine that!

Listen along for a super fun time and we'll see you next week!

This week, join Maddie and Geraldine as they talk about VERY BIG THINGS and also very small, tiny things. Some animals are REALLY big like elephants, giraffes or whales. Some organisms are minute like ants and microbes. In this episode we get to learn a bunch of BIG scientific words and what they mean.

We also hear some fun songs and Kate reads a story about a little whale named Gigantic with a BIG heart.

Do you have a favourite big animal? How about a favourite small animal?

Happy listening!

Welcome back to the Happy Pants Headquarters! Today, Geraldine, Maddie and a special third host try to figure out what their Happy Pants pockets have in store for them. A hand on a stick, a mosquito net and itching cream... what could these mean.

If you guessed insects and bites you'd be simply WRONG! That, my friend, is called 'jumping to a conclusion.'

Other than bamboozling our dear listeners, the crew do some tricky maths questions, listen to some fun music and hear an itchy story. We hope you enjoy the many turns this episode takes and we'll be back with another episode next week!

On Happy Pants this week, Geraldine and Kate talk all things sleep. From why we call them pajamas to why old time-y folks used to wear those little floppy hats to bed. Some people find it easy to get to sleep and others can toss and turn for hours.

We get to hear a story about Luna, who just couldn't get to sleep. As well as listening to a lot of fun music and learning two new big words.

So get comfy, put on your pajamas and listen to Happy Pants!

This week join Geraldine, Rebecca and special guest Maddie at Happy Pants HQ as they decode what the episode is about. In their pockets they find clues: a comb, gold buckles and an ornate box. What could they possibly mean?

We also get to listen to some fun music, hear a classic children's story and learn two BIG WORDS. Maddie joins to talk about the TV Show "Maddie and Triggs" (no relation) which is an animated kid's show about Maddie, a visually impaired girl, and her best friend Triggs, a fluffy yellow dog.

Hello and welcome back to Happy Pants. Before I start this description can you keep an eye on my robot friend Hal for a minute, thanks!

Okay I'm back, thanks for keeping Hal company.

In this episode Geraldine and Rebecca talk all things robots! Like my friend Hal, robots can be useful for helping with everyday tasks, like a robot vacuum or a car that drives itself. Today we get to hear some robot sounds, dance along to music and learn lots of big words.

Geraldine and Rebecca also talk about libraries and how useful they are. Did you know that Vision Australia has a library? It's called the Feelix Library and you can learn about it here to listen to audio books or access large print and braille books. They also have Children's Activity Packs that you can have delivered to your door!

Thanks for listening!
