Synopsis
When a blizzard covers the country house with a foot of snow, George can't wait to get outside to play. But he soon finds that such deep snow isn't easy for a monkey to play in. Then he learns how much fun it can be to ski, snowshoe and sled.
Educational Objective: Science: To demonstrate that spreading out the weight of an object on a soft surface like snow keeps the object from sinking in.
Live Action Segment : There's a lot of snow on the ground, and kids are out experiencing some of the same things George does. They try to figure out ways to get ON TOP of the snow without sinking into it.
