We see kids getting ready for recess, putting on layers of outdoor clothing, and then somebody has to go to the bathroom! Going sledding, swinging, running around outside with frosted-up eyelashes and face masks.

The Boy On the Bus
Various farm animals make their own sounds as a young boy takes them on a bus ride through the countryside. Who wants to ride on the bus? The boy on this bus drives round and round -- but his passengers aren't quite what you'd expect! Hop on board as a very merry group oinks, quacks, and clucks its way through the countryside in a brand-new version of a classic children's song. A comically crowded bus carries a furry, feathered cast of characters in a familiar sing-along with a funny farmyard twist.
