This episode gives kids a sparkle lens to spot what makes them unique and celebrate it with joy and imagination.

Through curious wordplay, a cozy reflection moment, and pattern-powered movement, Uniquely You! invites listeners to notice the little things that make them stand out, in the very best way.

Guided by your brain bud, Izby, kids will:

• Practice identifying the “standout” word through interactive thinking games
  (mountain, helicopter—what makes them different?)
• Explore breath and body awareness to feel calm and confident
  (bear paws, fluttery wings, and snail breaths!)
• Move through rhythmic pattern play
  (bubbles, woodpeckers, candy machines, and cloud bridges)
• Reflect with a grown-up on something they love about being themselves
