Hi kids, I'm Reb from Pancake Manor and - whoa it's kind of cold out here!!!!
Oh!
I have an idea!
There that's better.
I put on my sweater (some people call it a jumper).
I was cold because it's winter and winter is the coldest...Mama Mama!!
.. .as I was saying winter is the coldest..
MAMA!!!
Reggie, remember what we said you should do when you have something to say but someone
else is already talking?
Oh yeah!
You told me I should put my hand up and be patient.
Yes, and when I'm ready to listen I'll let you know.
Until then you stay quiet.
As I was saying winter is the coldest season.
Kids, it looks like Reggie has something to say.
Should we ask him what it is since he's been waiting so patiently?
Okay let's ask him!
Yes Reggie?
Ah ,I was waiting forever!
What I wanted to say was that in some places it's hot in winter.
You're absolutely right Reggie it's not always cold in the winter.
In some places like Hawaii and Mexico, it is hot in the winter time.
And the people who live there only wear bathing suits all day long!
Uh, well they DO wear bathing suits to the beach or to the pool but they wear regular
clothes too.
Oh.
Here in Canada where we live it's cold in the winter time so we're going to be talking
about cold Winters.
Is it cold in the winter where you live?
Is Winter the coldest season?
There are one two three four seasons and they're called Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter.
Let's listen to a song to help YOU learn about the seasons!
There are four seasons that happen in a year.
Spring Summer Autumn Winter Spring Summer Autumn Winter.
Four Seasons that happen in a year spring summer autumn winter spring summer autumn

[Music] Great job kids!
Yay!
Oh my goodness it's snowing!!!!
YESSSS!
I love a snow day.
Everything is so beautiful and white when it snows.
The snowflakes fall down from the sky and land on the ground, the trees and maybe even
your car!
And you can do so many fun things in the snow ! What are some of the things that you like
to do in the snow?
You can make a snow angel - just lie back in the snow and move your legs and arms back
and forth and then when you get up look back at your imprint.
It looks a bit like an angel!
You can go sledding - you could have an adult pull you or if you find a really big hill
you can slide down really fast.
And don't forget to say WHEE!!!!
[Music] You can make a snow fort and pretend that you live there and sleep on a bed of
ice with a snow pillow.
You can have a snowball fight with a friend, or you can make a snowman.
Have you ever made a snowman?
You just roll a really big ball for the bottom, a medium ball for the tummy and a small ball
for the head.
What would YOU use to decorate your snowman?
Most people use rocks for the buttons and the eyes and sticks for the arms.
What would you use for your Snowman's nose?
Would you use a carrot?
Do you know any famous snowmen who have a carrot for a nose?
How about Olaf from Frozen?
He has a carrot nose, doesn't he?
I've also seen a snowman with an orange for a nose!
Could I use a hot dog?
Well..you probably could use a hot dog but an animal would eat it up really quickly!
Yum, even I would gobble up a hot dog snowman nose - yummy yummy!
Speaking of dogs, my dog Whimsy LOVES playing in the snow!
See how happy she is running in the snow?
Do you think Whimsy is cold when she plays in the snow?
She isn't wearing a coat or a hat.
No?
Why not?
Because she has fur!
It's almost like she's always wearing a coat.
Fur keeps animals warm in the winter time but when YOU go outside in the cold, you need
to put on special clothes to stay warm, don't you?
Can you think of a piece of clothing that keeps people warm in the winter?
I'll give you a hint - I put one on at the beginning of this video!
Do you remember what it was?
Yes!
A sweater!!
Let's listen to a song about sweaters!
At this time of year, it gets cold out here.
[Music] Like a fridge it's so so chilly, bundle up now don't be silly.
If you go outside.
When I'm playing in the frosty air
I always like to make sure that I wear a comfy wooly gift.
It's a perfect fit!
I feel so much better when I'm wearing my sweater.
I won't shiver you'll see [Music] [Applause] [Music] so toasty.
So cozy!
I feel so much better when I'm wearing my sweater.
I won't shiver you'll see so cozy put on a sweater
[Music] Isn't it funny that Zach wore a sweater with Reggie's face on it and Reggie wore a
sweater with Zach's face on it?
Sweaters are made from yarn.
I have some yarn right here!
It's kind of like string, isn't it?
You can pull it and pull it and pull it and pull it and pull it pull it...but I don't
want to make a mess!!
Some people know how to knit with yarn and they can make sweaters and scarves and mitts
and other things with it just like the
ones that Zach and Reggie wore.
If someone ever knits YOU a sweater, take really good
care of it because it's a really special gift.
Yarn comes in all colors.
What colors of yarn
do I have here?
Say the colors out loud!
Pink!
Orange!
Purple!
Let's talk a little more about the things you need to wear when you're going outside
on a cold day.
Zach can you help me?
Of course Mama I'm your happy helper!
Happy helper?!
That's wonderful!
Thank you Zach!
I have a picture of our neighbor Lulu here - she's
getting ready to go outside to build a snowman.
Does she look like she's ready?
Definitely not!
She's gonna freeze her tootsies off if she walks around in the snow in bare feet!!!
You're right Zach!
So, what does she need?
Warm socks!
Yes!!
What else?
A sweater!
Boots!
A coat!
A scarf!
A hat!
And mitts!!
Now she's ready for a winter adventure...hopefully with MEEEEE!
I'm gonna pretend that I'm a king polar bear and she'll
be a husky dog and she'll pull me around on
a sled for hours and hours!!!!
Well...
or for a few seconds.
That sounds a little more realistic.
There's just one more thing I need to say mama.
What is it Zach?
Well, the other day I was at the playground and I saw a little boy throw his mitts off...like
THIS!
Why do you think he did that Zach?
I think he wanted to touch the snow with his bare hands.
And then his daddy put his mitts on and the boy threw them off and he tried to make a
snowball.
What happened next?
Well the boy cried and cried.
I think his hands hurt because they were SO cold!
So I wrote a song for all the kids out there who might want to throw their mitts off.
Keep your mitts on when you're going outside to make a snowman or take a sleigh ride.
Keep your mitts on, that's what I do To play in the snow and so can you.
AGAIN!
Keep your mitts on when you're going outside to make
a snowman or take a sleigh ride
Keep your mitts on - that's what I do to play in the snow and so can you!
It's been a blast talking about winter with all of you kids at home.
We just love all the
kids around the world who watch Pancake Manor and for a special treat we asked some of them
to show us their favorite sweaters.
So why don't YOU put on your favorite sweater and
get ready to dance with us?
Ready?
I feel so much better when I'm wearing my sweater
I won't shiver you'll see so toasty so cozy I feel so much
better when I'm wearing my sweater
[Music]
Put on a sweater
Special thanks to all our friends around the world who danced in their sweaters!
Let's review what we learned in this video.
Winter is cold but not everywhere!
If you have something to say but someone is busy or talking try putting your hand up and
waiting your turn.
There are four seasons: spring, summer, autumn and winter!
Sweaters are made from yarn.
Dress properly for going outside in the winter (unless you're
a furry dog).
Keep your mitts ON!
We love seeing you dance to Pancake Manor songs.
If you'd like a chance
to appear in our next Pancake Manor video be sure to follow us on Instagram
