Hi,
We just finished filming the pilot and DVD for Toy Rescue with Skip & Molly, a preschool TV show that introduces the basic concepts of re-use and recycling. The program is a wholesome combination of puppets and storybook animation. Our pilot will be done in August and the DVD will release in December.

We also have Kids Recycle TV (ages 4-7) just coming out of development and will start filming early 2009. KRTV is more of a variety show format with live action, puppets & animation where we explore how all of the man-made changes to the planet affect us, and what we might do to correct them.

I will send you a review copy once we finish editing Toy Rescue with Skip & Molly.

Oh, one last thing…all (95%) of our sets, props, and puppets are made from reused/recycled materials. I think we are the first to make a television show out of garbage!

Sincerely,
Charles Parker
Creator & Producer

Wanted to add, now that I’ll be writing for EcoChild’s Play too, that I just posted an eco-kids links list on Shaping Youth about the new NCLI (No Child Left Inside) legislation…and our related articles on all things green. Enjoy! Here’s the direct link on EcoLiteracy in schools: http://www.shapingyouth.org/blog/?p=1878

Highly encourage any/all interested in greening the classrooms to check out their concept of incorporating eco-messaging into kids’ curriculum (media literacy should be next!)
See you on ECP soon!–Amy

The only way we can teach our children to be ecologically responsible is to teach them about going green. Perhaps if TV spent a little less time trying to shove PopTarts down their throats, we could accomplish this. Thanks for an informative post.

Science and Ecology are becoming more important in our schools in the UK though I find that the country schools seem to be at an advantage in that they are located in the middle of it. They therfore, spend more time in using it within their curriculum and the children grow up with an eco aware knowledge with first hand experience. We need more if this in the city schools. Great article.
