Belly Button Buddies "Unplug Your Children"

The Belly Button Buddy wants you to unplug your children. There's lots for kids to do without plugging into the cyber world. The Belly Button Buddies were launched in Canada and evolved from beautiful paintings to poetry and then on to hundreds of stage performances for thousands of children.

The story so far: British TV Producer Mike Prince (Jellabies and The Wheels on the Bus) was introduced to The Belly Button Buddies in Western Canada. Mike loved the art work and the unique way the creators were growing the brand with stories, poetry and a one-woman road show that's very funny. After one or two trips across the pond, plans were hatched and in January 08, we went into production with Unplug your Children, a new DVD and TV offering. Aimed at young children and their parents/carergivers, the message is to inspire active playtime fun with everyday household objects and to offer an alternative to too many hours sitting with computer games and the like.

The future: The new Belly Button Buddies DVD will be released in June 08 with sleeve notes that champion a back-to-basics approach to playtime. The Buddies' family values will naturally support products for all family members -- including a great range of BBB soft toys, everyday greeting items, gifts, clothing, and much more. It's not often you come across a fresh property that has a strong children's angle with adults already buying original artwork as collectors items.

I love the activities that the kids get to do....shows that you don't need expensive toys to stimulate a child's imagination!

Hope this takes off!
