WINKY DINK AND YOU {EDGAR THE AUTO} (TV)
Summary
The third of three programs on this tape. One in this series of animated children's programs. This program begins with host Jack Barry drawing on the magic window before introducing the day's show. He is interrupted by Winky, who is taking pictures for five cents. Jack instructs the at-home viewers to get their magic windows out and place them on their television sets for some interactive activities. Next, Jack looks at some of "Winky's Family Album" pictures, encouraging the boys and girls at home to draw various things on the pictures, courtesy of their magic windows and crayons. Afterward, Jack tells Winky a story about Edgar the Auto via the magic red crayon as "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built For Two)" plays in the background. Then, after the magic word -- winko -- is spoken, Edgar comes to life in an interactive animated story. Afterward, Jack tells at-home viewers how to get their own Winky Dink kit for use during each episode. Then, Jack helps the at-home viewers draw a magic surprise -- a goldfish bowl which later becomes a "drip" tea pot. Afterward, the tea pot sings "Tea for Two."
