Heather started playing with the PBS Kids Scratch Jr. app in July. It’s a visual programming tool which lets you do things with characters from PBS shows or create all your own stuff.
You might think this was something I proposed or encouraged, but I haven’t had any involvement with it. She figured it out all by herself and wrote, produced, and voiced these videos (and several others). She’s since gone on to creating (really simple) games–jump over the spikes; swipe the monsters with your sword, etc. It’s pretty impressive.
These three videos are inspired by the TV show “Peg + Cat”.
This first one, “The Dinosaur Problem” has no audio. But I think she really captures the styles of Peg and Cat. Download here: The-Dinosaur-Problem

And, the family favorite, “The Campfire Story.” We regularly say to each other “I wonder what it’s about” and “nom nom yummy.” You’ll understand once you’ve watched it. Download here: The-Campfire-Story
