May Fun
Happy May, ScribbleFriends! Did you know that the average American child spends more time in front of a screen than any other activity (besides sleeping) each year? We spend more time in front of a TV than we do in school! Did you also know that research has shown our brains turn-off when we’re watching TV? Regardless of […]
Extra! Extra!
Thanks to the Homewood-Flossmoor Chronicle for, ah, chronicling, what my pal Wimee and I have been up to – making LIVE interactive television with our audience on WGVU TV. We’ve been working (aka – playing) hard to make a traditionally passive medium a community sandbox for creative play. This article is a comprehensive record of […]
April Fun
Happy April, ScribbleFriends! I’ve been helping Mrs. Scribbly in her garden this week and I’ve learned a lot about plants. Did you know that there are more than 300,000 different kinds of plants that have been identified and named in the world? And scientists think there are easily more than a million additional plants out […]
March Fun
Happy March, ScribbleFriends! I get so excited when my calendar says that it’s March. It makes me want to march around the room. I have been known to march at the drop of a hat, so, no surprise, I guess. We do The Bedtime March every night at my house. You can play the song […]
February Fun
Happy February, ScribbleFriends! I’ve been reading about sharks and boy, are they cool. Sharks have been around for hundreds of millions of years. But even though they’ve been around longer than people, longer than trees – they were even around before the dinosaurs – scientists still don’t know too much about them. That could be […]
Play with ScribbleMonster
What is Play with ScribbleMonster? It’s a collaborative, musical concert where the audience are active participants – there’s something to do with each song. We sing, dance, play, share ideas, and create together. It’s music, movement and other activities designed to spark the imagination and get the body moving. Kids are presented with open-ended opportunities […]
January Fun
Happy January, ScribbleFriends! Have you ever gone on a sound hunt? Usually we hunt with our eyes to find things, but our teacher, Ms. Tinge, had my class hunting with our ears for sounds this week. I never knew there were so many sounds! What? Just kidding. For our homework, each of us listed any […]
December Fun
Happy December, ScribbleFriends! I want to teach you a new game my friends and I have been playing. It’s called “Once You Spy it, Sit and Be Quiet.” One of us takes a small toy (we all see what it is) and puts it somewhere in plain view while the rest of us are out […]
November Fun
Happy November, ScribbleFriends! Thanksgiving Day is one of my favorite holidays. It’s a simple day, not too flashy like most of the other holidays, and everything about the day makes a lot of sense. Thanksgiving is a special day for us to give thanks for all we have. That’s why it’s called Thanksgiving. Get it? […]
October Fun
Happy October, ScribbleFriends! I want a dog. Actually, I really want a monkey, but my dad says that will never happen. ScribblePiggy has a horse, ScribbleBunny has a pet turtle and ScribbleKitty has a parakeet. I have a pet rock that used to be my dad’s. Pet rocks aren’t much fun. Apparently, monkeys don’t make […]
