VIDEO REVIEW – Putty Monsters
I was walking down the highstreet yesterday and, no word of a lie, I heard Christmas tunes playing. No word of a lie. Either they’d popped the wrong CD in the player or it’s the earliest Christmas shopping season drive I’ve yet been privvy too. No doubt it’ll also mean that the little ones will be rolling out the parchment and quill and getting together a Christmas list, and we wouldn’t be surprised if we saw Putty Monsters making an appearance on there somewhere.
Made for kids by kids, they’re a goggly-eyed glob of malleable putty that can be stretched and squashed into an infinite number of kooky creations. Good clean fun for the kids (and big kids), they even have their own social network where you can hunt down the most inspired creations that people have uploaded. Shiny Shiny’s Saskia has a play around with them in the video above.
Available from Firebox for £9.99.

I think your readers will enjoy this site. Check out MEET ME AT THE CORNER (www.meetmeatthecorner) and the interview with the Park Ranger at Balboa Park in San Diego, California.
Children learn about the history of Balboa Park, the Pan America Exhibition and the work of a park ranger. Take a look at the upcoming shows for fall including a visit with author Kathleen Krull, an episode about the history of the banjo and just in time for Veteran’s Day, an interview with a World War II Veteran
Along with the original content created by the professional staff, MEET ME AT THE CORNER is open to kid- produced content.The current video was submitted by 11 year old Sam. He interviews an animal behaviorist at the Denver Zoo. It is obvious that the episode was written and filmed by Sam but the MMATC staff did a great job of editing and adding photos and links to take the episode to a new level
