Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Toot & Puddle is a story of exploration, both home and afar; it's a story about being yourself and being a good friend. For ages 2-7, the series key educational and informational goals are: (1) to encourage exploration and adventure, exciting kids about the world (2) to teach children about other cultures, including geography, music and history and (3) to provide age-appropriate problem solving behavior for children to model how to be a good friend, how to be yourself and how to celebrate differences. Two friends, Toot and Puddle, live together in Woodcock Pocket. Toot loves to go see the world, Puddle prefers to stay at home. Each episode has one of the friends learning about life--whether it's through Toot's eyes with an international view or through Puddle's experiences back at home with their friends. Children learn about geography, conversational foreign language terms and cultural customs and traditions across the globe. |
