The Fred & Susie project is quality children's television that not only entertains, but also promotes creativity, imagination, and a solid set of values to help children deal with the world in which they live. Our motto, Creative family fun, Great family values, is the key to everything we do. Fred and Susie is family entertainment. The songs and puppets are great for most kids 2 to 9. The craft projects can be completed by children 3rd through 6th grade on their own and by younger ones with a grown-up's help. The PDF activities are geared to a wide range of ages, with something for everyone. The themes from each show are good lessons for anyony to learn, young and old alike. And, we've found that the show rates well with every dog that has seen it. (It's true!) Also, The Fred and Susie Show, with its craft projects and PDF activities, is a great rainy day activity, providing hours of enjoyment, which translates into a great value. |
