Play Every Day
Some collaborative creative play is hard to beat. Let’s compare calendars (Playdates page) and find a date when we can share some creative musical playtime this summer! Play is important. Play is creating. Play is work. Play is learning. Play is fun – especially with friends. I hope to play with you sometime this summer! […]
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 […]
Chocolate Milk
Our song Chocolate Milk was inspired by seeing an Ike Reilly show at Schubas then playing the same stage with ScribbleMonster shortly thereafter. I thought, “We really need a put your arm around your buddy, sing-along drinking song that creates that same fun vibe for the whole family.” There is definitely a void of festive, […]
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 […]
Interactive Television at the Movies!
Hey, Grand Rapids! There’s a special Wimee Word’s LIVE! event happening at theaters on Saturday, February 24. Attendees will help us make the show they see before them on the movie screen in real time! You can’t buy this kind of entertainment – because it’s FREE if you know the right robot. Visit Wimee‘s Facebook […]
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 […]
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 […]
With a Smile (It’s Christmastime)
I’m a big fan of kindness. With a Smile (It’s Christmastime) is a reworking of a tune that originally appeared on the award-winning Songs With No Character. Jayne, Joyce and I were putting together a Christmas set and Jayne suggested the song could work with the other holiday songs. Changing the words “It’s pretty neat” to “It’s […]
