This is the first story in the Toby Bucket collection

specially written for the very young.

Toby's BucketThe Adventures of Toby Bucket.

Hello I'm Toby Bucket
Hello this is Toby Bucket.

He is not very big.
In fact he's quite small,

So small, that he lives in a bucket.
Toby Bucket's Home
Can you see Toby's Home? 

Can you see what colour it is?

Is it RED, or is it GREEN?"


Toby Bucket and his Dog
Can you see Toby and his dog?

The wind is blowing hard.

                           I hope it doesn't blow poor Toby over.


Toby is in the rain with his umbrella                       It is starting to rain.

                   Toby might get wet.

                  Toby has an Umbrella.


                 The rain has stopped.


                Toby is running home.
 
Toby's Bucket
         Can you see Toby?
       Can you see Candy?


       Toby's dog is called Candy.


       Can you see Toby's bucket house?                         
                                        
 Not quite sure what this was but there seems to be some wonderful colours about.
Can you tell me what the colours are?

Mr. Bucket

  Children have been playing with buckets for millenia.
But guess what. There was a new kid on the block. It’s
was Mr. Bucket.

Earlier this evening, apropos of nothing, I began singing the Mr. Bucket theme song. Softly at first, but then louder, more confidently. The words were popping out of my mouth like balls.

It is a truly terrible toy. Essentially, children are cleaning. Chasing after little balls with pooper scoopers. And in a

particularly Sisyphean twist, just as one thinks her task is complete, the balls pop out of his mouth.

I know you remember this commercial. Even if, like me, you never played with or even saw Mr. Bucket in the flesh. What could make such a miserable toy so unforgettable? I’m convinced that it’s the jingle. It’s the sounds, not the images, of Mr Bucket that are forever etched in my mind. But what makes the Mr. Bucket jingle so
effective?

That's right, I'm Mr. Bucket!

What are some other jingles you’ve found to be particularly ???
One of my sons actually loved the jingle for Shake n Vac

AND CAN ANYONE STILL REMEMBER THE TUNE, OR EVEN THE ADVERT.

 
The Horror of Mr. Bucket!!!


In the early 90s I was far too busy to watch after school cartoons. Okay...to be really honest....I just never saw this. Had I, would have been doubled over in fits of laughter for weeks...as I was in 2004 when I saw the commercial at the end of an unmarked video cassette from the period. My three year old son had no idea why I was laughing, he simply laughed along.

I was laughing because of the jingle. And YES I know I'm laughing at something that most 12 year olds laugh at. I can't help it. It's funny. I have no idea how this got on the air. Wasn't there some executive at Milton Bradley, or the ad agency that said..."shouldn't we re-word this"? I'm positive the 4 year olds the game was aimed at never caught what I caught.

 The jingle says;

I'm Mr. Bucket toss your balls in my top,
I'm Mr. Bucket out of my mouth they will pop

"the first to get their balls into Mr. Bucket wins.

And because Diddily loves these songs so much she has bungled them all together so that Toby and Tilly will have something great to listen to when they arrive back on Sunday.
Diddily says she really doesn't know what she would do without all these wonderful youngsters who make these fantastic video's to go with the songs. They must be so talented, don't you think?
I would love to learn to do it but I think Diddily is a little old to learn animation at her age, so instead I will rely on these wonderful people who give us all so much enjoyment.
If you like this collection do subscribe to the artists on YouTube.

Blackpool Tower by Night Tower, Sand and Carousels

Toby and Tilly were up really early, Aunt Maud has come over from Manchester to take care of  Candy and Sweetie Pie.

Toby and Tilly getting off the Train.Can you guess where it is Tilly and Toby are going?
Yes, that's right, they are going on the train to Blackpool for the weekend.
They are taking  Toby's tent with them
and camping overnight.
Tilly does love the seaside
Here they are, getting off the train. I wonder where they will go first.

Maybe down to the sands. I hope they build a sand castle.
Don't you?

Whilst they were paddling in the sea, Tilly saw a boat.
Steam was coming from its funnel.

When they went back to their buckets and spades the tide had washed the castle away.

Toby loves Ketchup, Tilly loves mustard
Here they are eating hot dogs.

Toby had
tomato ketchup on his.

Tilly had
mustard. Yuck! Toby hates mustard.


After an ice lolly, they walked along the prom to the funfair.
They went on
so many rides but they both loved the Carousel best.




Soon it was time for them to go back to the tent.
Toby had his red sleeping
bag, and Tilly had her yellow one.

Shush now my children I think they are both fast asleep.
I wonder where they will be going tomorrow?

Here are some of the Zoo Keepers. They look after all the animals.

Were all going to the Zoo Tomorrow
here they are getting off the train again.
Yes it is true, Toby and Tilly are off to the Zoo. 

They got up early, Toby made some beans on toast for them and away they
went from Blackpool, all the way down to Chester on the train.

Would you believe it Toby has never been to the Zoo before. Not even when he was a little boy at School.

He was so excited. He made sure they had plenty of things to feed the animals with. Tilly said she didn't think they would be allowed though.
 (she was right, they couldn't give them their own food.)
Look at that naughty monkey. Poor Toby.
The first place that they went to, was the monkey house. Toby wasn't allowed to feed them, but it was their feeding time so the Zoo Keeper let them help him.
Can you see that naughty monkey it has pinched Toby's glasses.

Chips, Sausage and beans. hmmmm, yummy.


Tilly was thirsty so they both went to the cafe for a cup of tea.

They also had  chips and sausage with a few beans. Toby didn't realise how hungry he was.

Sealion performing tricks for Tilly

It was fun going around all the animals especially as the last place they went was to help feed the sealions before going home.
Pretty music


On the train back home. Tilly and Toby sang this song.
Can you sing it with them. I'm sure Mummy or Daddy know the tune.
Just look at Sweetie Pie and Candy. I think they missed Toby and Tilly.

And would you believe it when Toby and Tilly
 arrived home.

Two other little animals were more than excited to see them both.

Can you tell me who they are please?
