| Summary |
After looking at a calendar for the month of June, Chabba and Flopp want to make snow; after all, they had never seen snow before. They begin to get to work, trying to get the temperature down by opening the window and turning on a fan.Meanwhile, Yamba is taking a nap on the couch but wakes up feeling very cold. Yamba grabs a blanket, and then another, trying to get warm until a large cocoon of blankets is formed. Jacinta is startled to find Yamba in such a state. Another way to keep cosy is to build a bird's nest. They do so with pool noodles and pillows. In the process Yamba accidently rips a pillow and feathers fall all over the place. Chabba is so excited because he thinks the feathers are actually snow! Flopp explains that it is not snow because it is not cold. Yamba snuggles into the bird's nest but still doesn't feel warm. They decide to make a termite mound out of boxes to keep warm.While Jacinta and Yamba make the termite mound, Chabba and Flopp decide to leave the fridge open as a last attempt to make snow, however they give up and retreat to the sock drawer.Jacinta notices that the window is open, the fan is on and the fridge door is open. That's why Yamba is so cold. She also quickly changes the calendar to a hot day in January!Packages include Warren H Williams singing, "Can You See What I See" with animation as well as many other original songs.Inspired by indigenous culture, desert living, family and friendship, Yamba's Playtime uses themes and characters mixed with original songs, dancing and singing to produce entertaining and energetic storylines throughout each episode.
