A programme for children at home.
In the story chair, Gerald Young

This is Easter week, and Valerie Pitts and Colin Jeavons start by painting Easter eggs and making Easter bonnets, and the toys see a special Easter programme on their television set. On Friday as a special treat they go up in a balloon.
Today you can see again The Sun Egg, a picturebook from Sweden by Elsa Beskow, and during the week Gerald Young returns to tell three stories: 'Yellowy-White and the Red Indians', 'Yellowy-White and the Kite', and 'The Story of the Crab and the Monkey'.
