The Muppet babies are excited to stage their own version of some of the most beloved nursery rhymes, complete with costumes, music, and even a little bit of drama.

The episode begins with Piggy, Kermit, and Fozzie playing in the Nursery Rhyme Theater, which is a small play area filled with costumes, props, and scenery inspired by nursery rhymes. They pretend to be various characters from different nursery rhymes, and their playtime quickly becomes a competition to see who can come up with the best performance.

As they play, they begin to realize that they don't really know all the words to some of the nursery rhymes, and they decide to hold a concert to practice and learn more. They create a playlist of all their favorite nursery rhymes and start practicing the songs and dances.

Gonzo decides to try his hand at writing his own nursery rhyme. His poem is a bit strange and doesn't make much sense, but the Muppet babies encourage him to keep trying, and he eventually comes up with a fun and silly rhyme that everyone loves.

The Muppet babies then begin to work on their costumes for the concert. Piggy designs elaborate dresses and hats for everyone, but Mikey is not happy with his costume and wants to be something more unique. She finally comes up with the idea of dressing him up as a spider, which he loves.

Meanwhile, Animal is having trouble staying still and focused during the rehearsals. He loves the music and gets too excited, causing him to disrupt the other babies. The Muppet babies try different tactics to calm him down and make him focus, but it's not until they give him his own drum set to play along with that he is able to concentrate and stay still.

Finally, the big day arrives and the Muppet babies put on their nursery rhyme concert. They perform classics like Humpty Dumpty, Hey Diddle Diddle, and Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, as well as Gonzo's original rhyme. The concert is a huge success, and all the parents are amazed at how well the babies can sing and dance.

As the episode comes to a close, the Muppet babies realize that even though they all had different ideas and ways of doing things, they were able to put on a successful show by working together and respecting each other's ideas. They vow to practice more nursery rhymes and put on another concert soon.

Overall, Nursery Rhyme Theater is a fun and colorful episode that celebrates the joy and creativity of childhood. It's a great example of how even the simplest things, like nursery rhymes, can inspire imagination and playfulness in young children.
