Children learn by trying things
out, not simply by seeing something done. Once
a program has ended, children need to follow up
on it with related activities. This "doing" helps
them get the most out of their viewing.
Activities can provide food for both body and mind by:
Giving
kids an outlet for their energy through exercise,
music, drama, and art.
Encouraging
children to explore their surroundings.
Reinforcing
important social skills like how to be caring, respectful,
responsible, and fair.
Look in the Activities
section for suggestions to try at home. These
ideas will help you explore meaningful new ways
to extend the power of public television.
Themes include:
Science and Discovery
– Adventures in math and science
