Play School (1966)

Reptiles (359x3)

:

Miah and Matt meet two slithery snakes with Ben in the Play School Animal Sanctuary. Miah paints a snake skin design onto cardboard with a rolling pin covered with holey paper. She cuts the cardboard into a spiral to make a green tree snake. It is eight o'clock on the Hickory Dickory Clock with a chameleon underneath. Both presenters explore reptiles and how they use camouflage with a 'Story Salad' followed by a fun musical number with Charlie the chameleon. Miah and Matt dress up in blue and pink clothes to camouflage against coloured towels. Through the square window Mariah introduces her pet central bearded dragon. Maurice has a dress-up party at the 'Reptile Theme Park'. Maurice is dressed as a crocodile, Little Ted is a frilled neck lizard and Humpty dresses as a turtle. Everyone sings 'Snappy Birthday' to Maurice and share a crocodile themed birthday cake.
