There are two "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" episodes that take place in a winter setting, and episode 117 is one of them.
Many of the designs, including the winter clothing on the characters, are a carryover from the "If You Give a Mouse a Christmas Cookie" Christmas Special.
"Sledding Adventure" has a lot of important lessons for young viewers, including the messages of overcoming our fears and how things can look a lot bigger than they actually are.
Ottawa (Canada), where the "If You Give a Mouse a Cookie" series is produced, is home to the longest skating rink in the world and 'Winterlude' - a winter festival that attracts thousands of visitors every year. Winterlude is perhaps best known for its incredible ice sculpture competition. The castle snow fort in "Sledding Adventures" drew inspiration from one of those sculptures.
If you live in a locale that has snow, you probably know that sledding continues to be a favorite winter activity for children of all ages.
