• Elmo pulls a red wagon, filled with apples, strawberries and a toy fire truck.
• Ernie finds an orange pumpkin in the fall leaves.
• Grover climbs a tree to find blue eggs in a nest.

• A purple Honker hangs up his purple laundry on a clothesline.
• Oscar the Grouch eats a dish of green ice cream.
