Let's Create a Better World ($12.95 plus S&H)
This is for kids, parents, and teachers who are concerned about the environment. As Instructor Ann Felice explains, "we're going re-use materials that would normally be tossed away in projects that are creative, and that are kind to the environment."
Using paper maché techniques, Felice and her class turn a stack of newspapers into a globe, a chick, a dinosaur, a telephone, and so much more. And that's just one of the projects. The program clearly shows 5-11 year-old kids how to unleash their creativity in projects like:
-
Turn newspapers into creative paper maché sculptures
-
Making printing plates from cardboard boxes
-
Using scraps to make beautiful new creative paper
-
Building a piggy bank from a plastic gallon milk container and basic art supplies
-
A "clean your room collage" which starts with kids cleaning their room to find 15 things they would normally throw away
-
And a lot more!

Let's Create GIFT PACK
COMPLETE ORIGINAL SERIES
ALL Six Videos ($59.95 plus S&H)
BRAND NEW SERIES: Let's Create Cultural VHS Video Series ($14.95 ea)
Felice has now incorporated one of the most important aspects of modern life into her attention-grabbing videos: cultural diversity. Felice, believes making cultural diversity into a fun learning experience is a lot more effective than lecturing them anyway. "You can tell kids that diversity is a good thing," she says, "but if you can make it fun and meaningful to them then they are a lot more likely to get the message."
Let's Create Asian Art, for example, includes scenes shot in a museum of Asian-American art. Then, using the time-tested techniques kids love in the entire Let's Create series, this video shows children easy and fun steps to create similar art projects themselves. All projects can be completed with basic art materials, and of course, safety is a major priority.
"The world seems to be getting smaller, and kids encounter different cultures every day," says Let's Create founder Ann Felice. "These tapes can help kids get to know their neighbors by understanding their art."
Each of the cultural tapes features a rich offering of cultural information presented in a child-friendly manner, original songs, and six exciting projects on the cultural theme. Every video stars Ann Felice and lots of real kids. The instructions are clear and easy to follow, no matter where you are-in a classroom, at a camp, or at the kitchen table. Best of all, kids love these videos, and will happily watch them again and again.
