Chatting About the New Muppet Show While Crafting

"On this episode: Play the music and light the lights! Lucy Lopez, Elizabeth Newcamp, and Zak Rosen are getting crafty and talking Muppets! The Muppet Show is back with a really fun, exciting special. The 'Rents talk about Miss. Piggy, the musical guests, and we hear from the kids on what they thought. While they're dishing about Kermit and crew, Zak and Elizabeth each share how to make a craft that is perfect for Valentine's Day. The whole family will love this episode!"

"For Zak's craft you'll need an empty toilet paper roll or two, some paint (ideally acrylic but any will work) and then a canvas of some type - t-shirt, piece of paper, anything you want. For Elizabeth's craft you'll need paper, scissors, a stapler (or a paperclip if you're Zak) and a ruler. Podcast production by Cheyna Roth. Video production by Micah Phillips."
