J'aime les ours polaires!

Science experiment: the kids held their hands in the snow for as long as they could.

Then we used a bag (within a bag) of lard to protect our hand from the cold.  This simulates the layer of fat beneath a polar bear's skin.

Actually touching the lard - "It feels like lotion!"
