Stop-frame animation. Nestling in the gently rolling hills is Timmy's nursery school, cosily housed in some old farm buildings. Complete with messy play area, story corner and garden, this is the perfect place for a young lamb to start finding his place in the world. Apricot brings her favourite blanket to the nursery, and she will not let go of it. When she briefly puts it down, the other animals mistake it for a rag, which they use to clean up paint and mud. Timmy tries to console Apricot with substitutes, until he discovers a pleasant surprise in Stripey's sand pie.
