Word World is a new (this fall) PBS show geared toward 3-5 year olds that introduces kids to new words through seven animated characters. To promote the show, you can receive a free sneak preview DVD containing one of the episodes. We have bucket seat backpacks, containing various travel goodies, attached to the back of our front seats and periodically change out the DVDs for the kids - this is a great one to add to the collection! (…I’m sure our 13-year old will be thrilled…)

If you enjoy cross-stitching, or are interested in teaching your kids/students the art of cross-stitching, the DMC Mentor program gives away four free beginners-level cross-stitch kits when you sign up to become a Mentor. This would be perfect for a girl scout troup badge-earning activity or a rainy day craft for your girls at home…and of course, you could always place them in the kids’ Christmas stockings for a holiday break activity.
