The Bunny needs help

The Animation is now being edited and will be ready in the beginning of 2012.

It's not how much you say, it's what you say.

Making news

Making news to better understand news. When handling a theme in child group it can at some stage handle media as newspaper ore TV news. We had a interesting theme with dinosaurs that was handled in many ways but one interesting development was when we made an dinosaur fossil and let children dig like an archeologist to find the bones in a box with dirt.

The Fossil

We also made an newspaper with pictures and text about the findings. We had a local newspaper as example to se how it’s structured.

Dinosaurie Tidning

A child needs the guidance of adults to handle news. I heard from a child about the volcano outbreak on Island before reading about it in a newspaper. A child is exposed to news but don’t have the tools to fully understand them. And some news is not fore children.

The fossil ready fore exhibition

Secret snapshots

From coming animation that is under production.

The animation tells the story of friendship and getting help with keeping you’re surrounding clean from garbage and not throw trash around you. You don’t want to live on a pile of garbage.

The passion of making can be seen in their eyes.

The scene is new.

Wildlife Vaasa 2008

The animation "Vanten" (Glove) that children produced with me at the kindergarten where we started animateing participated in Wildlife Vaasa festival. It was shown on the big screen and was among the five best in the category Film made by children. Vanten was the last animation I made with children at this kindergarten. I hope they will carry on and let chidren make animations under years to come.



Letting children animate and explore different kinds of media is something I always will do. And hopefully soon there will be two kindergartens in Vaasa that takes advantage of the benefits and joy in makeing animations and explore different kinds of medias.
