Noodle and Doodle season 2 episode 5, titled "Story Time; A Family Bike Ride," follows the two hosts, Sean and his dog, Noodle, as they welcome viewers into their kitchen for a day of cooking and crafting.

The episode begins with Noodle and Sean sitting down for storytime as they read from a children's book about a family going on a bike ride. Inspired by the story, Noodle suggests that they make their own bicycles out of egg cartons.

After gathering their materials, Sean and Noodle get to work making their egg carton bicycles. Sean shows viewers how to cut the egg cartons to form the bike frame and how to attach wheels made out of paper plates. Noodle comes up with the idea to use soda straws for handlebars and Sean helps him attach them to each bike.

Once the bicycles are complete, Sean and Noodle take a break from crafting to prepare a snack for their upcoming bike ride. They make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches cut into the shape of bicycles and a fruit smoothie to keep them hydrated.

The duo then heads outside to go on their bike ride. Along the way, they spot various animals and plants in nature that spark their creativity for future crafts and recipes. They eventually stop at a park where they have a picnic with their special bicycle-shaped snacks.

After their snack, Sean and Noodle continue their bike ride and come across a local farmer's market. They decide to stop and gather ingredients to make a farm fresh, vegetable-filled dinner.

Back at the kitchen, Sean shows viewers how to make a vegetable stir-fry with ingredients purchased from the farmer's market. They chop up vegetables such as carrots, broccoli, and peppers and stir-fry them in a pan with some soy sauce and garlic. Noodle gets in on the action by adding some fresh herbs from their garden to the dish.

To finish off their meal, Sean and Noodle make their own version of an ice cream sundae. They use frozen bananas and blend them in a food processor to create a creamy texture. They top the banana ice cream with fresh berries and a drizzle of chocolate sauce.

The episode ends with Sean and Noodle sharing their delicious meal and reflecting on their day full of cooking, crafting, and biking. They encourage viewers to go on their own family bike rides and to experiment with creating their own special bicycle-shaped snacks.

Overall, "Story Time; A Family Bike Ride" is a fun and creative episode that mixes storytelling, crafting, cooking, and outdoor activities. Sean and Noodle's easy-to-follow instructions and enthusiastic attitude make it easy for viewers to join in on the fun.
