aka ep165.1 Jan and Alister have created a river environment - the sandtray a garbage bag forms the river base and a 'finger puppet' farmer goes for a row in a foil pie dish boat and Jan rows and sings 'Row, row, row your boat'. Through the windows is the Murray River and a paddle steamer. Alister picks up wheel action and sings 'Round and Round'. Jan makes a butter container paddle steamer with yoghurt lid wheels and puts it in the river in the sandtray. Alister floods the river with a watering can.
