Peep and the Big Wide World
This morning, I woke up to an email from M of WGBH Kids (Boston) – the folks who gave us my newest favorite cartoon, Peep and the Big Wide World.
Let that sink in for a second.
HOW COOL IS THAT? That’s pretty effin’ cool.
So anyway, he was happy I liked the show so much and asked if I could let folks know that, in Vegas, it’s on Monday through Friday at 7:30 AM and 1:30 PM on KLVX (channel 10). Peep also is available in Spanish on V-ME (http://ninos.vmetv.com/peep). It’s on everywhere else on public television but you’d have to check your local listings. And, if you can’t find it on your local station, it’s on Discovery Kids AND online at http://www.peepandthebigwideworld.com/videos/ .
I love this show because it’s so simple but yet thorough. There’s Peep, who is a yellow chick, Chirp, which is a red bird, and Quack, who is a blue / purple duck.
And it’s narrated by JOAN CUSACK. I like her.
On the website, they have projects and science-y things for kids to do. In fact, they have a lot of things for kids to do. Check out the huge list here.
We did a mixture of Bathtub Boats and Guessing What Floats. Kiddopants correctly determined what would float and what would sink except for one miss and that was probably because he was busy with his foil boat that I had squished together that he was putting his cars in. I have pictures but I’d have to crop out the nudity since we did this in the tub during bath time.
I’d been wishing for a list of things to do with Kiddopants in the afternoons so this was perfect timing. I think tomorrow we’ll do Melting Ice Cubes and Friday we’ll do Making Tracks since I’m generally feeling more adventurous on Fridays.
Thanks to M from WGBH Boston for the email this morning that made my day / rest of the week!
