When I was a kid, I played a PBS kids game where you cut out a snowflake with a bunch of arctic animals. It had very smooth animation, and I know for a fact it was played on the PBS kids website. From my memory, it was also a pay to play game, that my mom had to pay a subscription for me to access. Upon trying to search this game up, as it’s one of the only things I can remember from PBS kid’s games website, I found nothing. Nothing about a snowflake cutting game, nothing about a subscription (other than PBS kids GO!, but I found nothing about it being paid for or being related to this game), and I’m really confused. I’m posting this on the lost media wiki specifically because I know this was a pbs kids game, and finding no mention of it anywhere online is extremely confusing to me. I asked my sister and my mom, my sister remembered the game, but my mom didn’t. It had to have been some time around 2007 to maybe 2013?? I’m unsure.
The game was akin to a mobile game, almost, as it was pretty linear. You would be given an already folded triangle of paper, and it would let you cut it before unfolding it. It had a few options I think, like a stencil cutter, and I’m pretty sure it let you cut it either as many times as you want or only once. It would transition from a cave with a few animals like seals in it to an open tundra area with some other animals in it, I believe rabbits? I wish I had remembered other games from this alleged subscription service, but I’m unsure if what I’m remembering is from that or not. I remember a Ruff Ruffman game where you made a bunch of smoothies with stuff, but I’m also not sure if that was a paid game or not.
I believe it was on a service called "PBS Kids Play", which had several worlds to play in such as Curious George and the world you speak up. The snowflake game, as I remember, featured a wooly mammoth and some other snow creatures in a cave. If this matches your memory, we're on the right track.
