Date de diffusion: Sept 12, 2000

Someone’s in the kitchen; it’s Caillou! After making too much of a mess trying to help Mom, Caillou plays pretend-cooking with Sarah, and they bring Mom a bouquet of dandelions and a tasty cake made of toy blocks. The menu is just as playful at Grandma’s, where she and Caillou make display goodies from cardboard and glue. Later, the results are equally gluey when Caillou tries his hand at making cookies. But he does much better the day he makes his own breakfast for the first time. Meanwhile, Rexy sends Teddy and Gilbert invitations for a costume party feast. In the puppet segments, Rexy sets up a "royal banquet." Deedee overhears and seems interested. Rexy makes up invitations for everyone. They all receive them and attend the feast, where Rexy, Teddy and Gilbert pretend to be Kings and Deedee pretends to be the Queen. They all compliment the food, even though it is just pretend. The non-puppet portions of the show generally focus on food and cooking. "Caillou's Cuisine" (A42 WIP title: "Cooking For Guests") Mom is cooking a special dinner for some guests she's invited and Caillou wants to help. Mom asks him to wash the lettuce and he tries, but ends up getting water everywhere. Dad comes in and suggests Caillou go out and play. Sarah drops by and Caillou decides to "cook" with her. They make "mud pizza" using stuff from around the garden for various ingredients. "Caillou Forgets His Toys" (A42 WIP title: "Potatoes and Eggs, Oh My") Caillou's Dad takes Caillou over to his Grandparents' house, but no one seems to be there. Dad rings the doorbell and Grandpa shows up. Caillou wants to show Grandpa his spinning top, but then realizes that he left his bag in the car. It's too late, as Dad has already left. Grandpa leaves Caillou with Grandma because he has to go to the store. Just then, Dad comes back, having noticed Caillou's bag. He gives it to Grandpa to give to Caillou, but then Grandpa gets a phone call and forgets all about the bag. In the meantime, Caillou is in the garden being grumpy. Grandma shows Caillou the thrilling excitement of finding potatoes and then they go inside where they make prints from pieces of potato. Grandpa arrives back, but he's forgotten to buy eggs. Caillou conveniently happens to have made a print of an egg, so he goes with Grandpa to the store to help him remember. They get back and Grandma's making vegetable soup. Caillou makes a funny face from Grandma's vegetables and Dad arrives to pick Caillou up. It's then that Grandpa realizes that he forgot about the bag. But it doesn't matter anymore because Caillou had fun anyway. "Caillou Makes Cookies" Caillou is drumming and singing badly. Mom tells Caillou to quiet down so Rosie can take a nap, but he doesn't want to at first. Eventually he stops and heads off to the kitchen to get some cookies. They're hard to reach though, so he tries to use a stool and ends up spilling the cookies as well as a jar of honey. He tries to make honey cookies, but ends up making a mess. Mom comes in and decides that rather than get upset about it, she'll just have Caillou help her clean up. He does and then he and Mom make cookies together. Sometime at the park, apparently later that day, Caillou and Mom share the cookies with Dad and Rosie. Then Caillou runs off and starts covering himself with mud. Dad asks him what he's making and he answers "a big mess." "Caillou's Surprise Breakfast" Caillou wakes up really early. He's hungry, so he goes downstairs and decides to make breakfast for himself and subsequently everyone. Rosie's awake, so he enlists her help. He tries to be quiet so he can surprise his parents. Gilbert comes in and Caillou feeds him --- a bit too much. Cailou tries to set the table and breaks a dish. Mom goes down to check and Caillou tells her not come in because it's a surprise. Mom leaves, not having the presence of mind to save her kitchen from rack and ruin. Finally, Caillou's finished. Mom and Dad arrive and Caillou presents his surprise breakfast.
