Is it a big dramatic snow day?

No, and deliberately. It is a mild bright weekday morning with the first snow of the year lying shallow in a back garden. No storm, no blizzard, no closed school, no big hill.

Does it work if we barely get snow?

It does. The whole thing happens in one small garden with boot-deep snow, so it fits a light first fall as easily as a Canadian November, and the snowman being a lump helps.

Our child hates the snowsuit.

So does the one in the story, for a minute. There is one refusal and one arm that will not go in, handled with patience and no telling off, and then they are out the door.

Three to six. It is written for the first snow a child is old enough to keep as a memory, rather than their first ever snow as a baby.

Finn is our little fox. He hides three times in this story, and at the end the film asks how many times you spotted him, then shows where he was.

How long is it and when does it arrive?

About two and a half minutes. It is ready within 24 hours, usually much sooner, and you get an email the moment it is done.

$14.99 USD, one time. During launch it is $9.99. Prices outside the United States are shown in your own currency.

Milestone story · ages 3 to 6

The first snow they will actually remember

The first real snow is a whole new world, and most of the morning goes on getting dressed for it. In this story your child, by name, wakes to the wrong light, gets through every layer and mitten, steps out into the cold, and makes footprints, a snowball that falls apart, a lumpy snowman and a flake caught on the tongue. Watch it on the morning it snows, and again when they want the day back.

The getting dressed, layer by layer
Footprints, a snowball, a snowman that is a lump

Why we made this one

Every first snow film makes the same mistake: it starts outside. Any Canadian parent will tell you the story starts at the coat hooks and takes twenty minutes. So the getting dressed is in this one, properly, with the arm that refuses the sleeve, the mitts threaded up one sleeve and down the other, and the boot with a heel that has views.

Outside it keeps telling the truth. The snowball falls apart, because dry snow does, and squeezing harder makes it worse. The snowman is a lopsided lump with two twigs and three stones, which is what a snowman actually looks like at four. The footprints get looked back at, which is the real first-snow moment: proof, in a line, that somebody came this way.

And it ends where a snow day really ends, indoors, with hands coming back to life around a cup and mittens steaming on the radiator, and the lump still standing out in the blue dusk holding the whole day.

Three moments from the story

Every scene is made from scratch for your child, so these are written here rather than shown.

Squeak

One boot down into the smooth white, and the snow says squeak. Loudly. So it gets lifted and put down again just to check.

Look back

A line of footprints all the way from the door. Nobody else's. Proof that somebody came this way.

A lump with a stick

Two twigs, three stones, knee high, leaning slightly. They stand back and look at it for a long time, and it is perfect.
