This is a great site for young kids. It's also kinda trippy and amusing for adults!

Quoting from their "Parents Information" on the site:
Quote:
BOUT BOOHBAH
Boohbah is an exciting new programme for children, with a format that fosters both creative thinking and creative movement. Boohbah is entirely designed to encourage physical action on the part of its young viewers. It deliberately combines infectious magical movement, for children to imitate, with inset stories for them to predict outcomes.
The design of the show - visually and otherwise, draws upon early concepts in science, maths and art and combines these with ?televisual magic? to create a uniquely funny television experience.
The Boohbahs, five magical atoms of power, light and fun travel in their Boohball around the world, from child to child. Fifteen countries are visited throughout the changing title sequence.
The Boohbahs represent the imaginative power and light which allows children to control the screen action by the use of the magic word ?Boohbah?, and send presents into an imaginary Storyworld for the Storypeople - Grandmamma, Grandpappa, Mrs Lady, Mr Man, Brother and Sister, Auntie and Little Dog Fido to play with and make a story in partnership with them. We hear the children intervening in the screen action by the sound of their blowing and their use of the word ?Boohbah?. This motivates the action and moves the story along. Only Little Dog Fido is not wholly in their control! Children are totally engaged and have a lot of fun guessing which Storyperson will appear and what will happen next.

Just thought this may be of some interest to the parents on the board. It's also fun for grown-up kids like me.
Check it out!
