Episode 9:  It's Break Time!

5/18/2020

Puppets give the best advice.  
Let us know how you've been Trying This At Home!
It's been such a delight making and sharing these Try This At Home videos! 

We've heard stories about families playing 'Please? No!' out on their bikes, breaking into spontaneous Family Dance Parties, and bringing spoons to life.  It has meant so much to know that we've inspired, well, play.


We wanted to let you all know that, starting this week, we're going to follow the puppets' example and take a break from producing a new Try This At Home video every week. 

We have some new projects we're excited to work on (it is entirely possible that we are not as good as the puppets at going on vacation)...

Speaking of New Projects...
