Television Producer, Consultant and Speaker
Here are some fun activities for kids posted on WGBH’s website inspired by the show Peep and the Big Wide World. I’m on the team producing the live action segments. Always fun to see what people do at home. The video and original post are by Angel Street Mom and are cross posted on the WGBH site.
Note there are more activities in the post than in the video. Make sure your check out the full Angel Street Mom post.
Our team is producing some short music videos for the show Martha Speaks. Great working on yet another WGBH kids production.
We just wrapped filming the live action segments for the seasons 3 through 5 of the Curious George show (on PBS everywhere). Each animated story is followed by a action segment featuring children engaging with the concept the story explored. For all seasons to date I was contracted by the company producing the segments to serve as Associate Producer, work on developing the activity concepts, field testing whatever the kids needed to do, and then served as on site educator, art department and mad scientist when filming. Curious George is a co-production of Universal Studios and WGBH.
Many of our segments produced to date may be viewed on the Curious George website’s video page.
Curious George is an Emmy award-winning animated series based on the popular books by Margret and H.A. Rey. It airs daily on PBS KIDS. Aimed at preschool viewers (ages three to five), the goal of the series is to inspire children to explore science, engineering, and math in the world around them. And what better guide is there for this kind of exploration than the world’s most curious monkey?
Recently we also wrapped production on the live action segments for the latest season of Peep and the Big Wide World. This show featuring three bird characters (Peep, Quack and Chirp) may be seen nationally on TLC, Discovery Kids and locally in Boston on WGBH 2. Unfortunately none of the segments are available to view online. To get a sense of what we’ve been working on you can look at this list of “Anywhere Science Activities” from the show’s website. For each of these activities we produced a live action documentary style segment.
The animated series PEEP and the Big Wide World gives wings to the innovative idea of teaching science to preschoolers. Wry and distinctive visual humor, charming plotlines, and lovable characters combine with a comprehensive science program to attract and engage kids three to five years old.
