De Li tries to count her jumpy seeds. Nok Tok arrives to plant them. He distracts De Li and she cannot count. She goes somewhere else that is quiet but Yojojo starts practising his spinning. So she finds somewhere else. This time Lau Lau arrives with a special picture for De Li. De Li loves the picture but she still hasn't counted her jumpy seeds! When the cheebies arrive, they all help De Li count and finally Nok Tok can plant. As the jumpy seeds are planted, they bloom into jumpy plants. The jumpy plants make lots and lots more seeds... far too many for De Li to count!
Overview
Set in the fictional land of Nara, Piplings are creatures with large heads and eyes, and they have the ability to fly and float around. The Piplings practice yogo, a gentle form of exercise similar to yoga. They demonstrate several poses inspired by the things they observe in their homeworld, Nara, such as owls, trees, and insects. Later in each episode, children (referred to as Cheebies) arrive and practice the same poses demonstrated by the Piplings at the start of the show. Viewers are encouraged to participate.
