Episode one – gingerbread men (Listening)

Then the Measuring Spoons try to climb up the syrup tin and accidentally knock over the golden syrup and end up sticky and refuse to wash themselves.
Sieve is adding flour, but is very nervous. The measuring spoons again try to be helpful but don’t listen and the flour is spilt all over them and the table. They are so gooey, sticky and messy that they listen this time and wash themselves.
Once the dough is rolled out, the Measuring Spoons listen to Annabel and cut their shapes out with their cutters pushing the dough out when it gets stuck. All the friends have fun decorating the gingerbread men.
Episode two – bread (Sharing and group work)
Today Annabel and her friends are baking bread. The Measuring Spoons feel left out and decide to steal the flour, but leave a trail of footprints that leads Annabel to them. Annabel realizes that they only wanted to join in and invites them to help Measuring Jug count the water level.
Wooden Spoon struggles to mix the dough, which makes Mixing Bowl wobble and fall over. Annabel gets everyone to work together, helping to stir and stable Mixing Bowl.
Once the dough is done, it is cut up in to balls, but there is not enough for one each. Annabel gets everyone to pare up and design and decorate the dough together. Everyone is happy with their bread rolls and learns to share it with their friends.

Whisk is ready to mix the ingredients, but things have been tided away and misplaced. Everyone goes around the kitchen to find the ingredients and paper cases with some help from the viewers. Annabel picture codes the cupboard so they are easy to put away and find next time.
Sieve, by accident, knocks over the flour over Pastry Brush, who sweeps the flour with his bristly hair and realises it is fun. At the end the kitchen is a mess again but this time everyone is excited about cleaning up, especially Pastry Brush.

When the dough is rolled out the Measuring Spoons don’t put enough flour on the table and the dough sticks to the table and the Rolling Pin Twins. The measuring spoons learn and apply more flour and the dough is rolled out nicely. Everyone calculates how many pastry cases there are and then they each place the fruit pieces on, counting as they go. There are enough for everyone to have one each.
Episode five – Pizzas (Being Patient)

The baking tools decide to pay them back, and one by one the baking tools disappear until it is just the Measuring Spoons. Then a ghost creeps up on them and they jump a mile. The ghost was in fact Mixing Bowl with a white tea towel. The Measuring Spoons learn their lesson and apologise to Sieve, and celebrate with toffee apples.
Episode seven – Scones (Feeling left out)
Today Annabel and her friends are making Scones. As they bake, Sieve is about to volunteer to get the egg, but the Measuring Spoons get there first, fight over the egg, and drop it on the floor. They are very sorry and decide to carry the next egg together.
Sieve tries to put flour down for the Rolling Pin Twins, but Whisk beats her to it. Next all the baking tools grab a cutter and cut out the dough, but there are n cutters left for Sieve. Very upset, she returns to her cupboard.

Annabel calms down Half Teaspoon, and he explains that he has to do what the other Measuring Spoons say because he’s small and nobody listens to him.
