More About Unplug Your Children

Today’s technologically aware children still love to play – unplugged. Join the Belly Button Buddy™ and her friends as they discover that fun – inspired by simple ideas – can be good exercise both mentally and physically.  

On the first volume of Unplug Your Children the Belly Button Buddy and her young friends enjoy traditional role play after creating great props from readily available household materials. Full of giggles, gasps, and music this DVD will be enjoyed by the entire family, especially children ages 1 through 7.

Traditional Role Play

The activities shown on the first volume of Unplug Your Children are based on traditional role play. Children’s role play is an extension of what they experience in their lives. Traditional role play develops skills of listening, observing, communicating, co-operating, acting, organizing, and sequencing. Role play is also just good fun! The only thing caregivers need to provide is a space and some interesting stuff.

Once Upon a Time

The Belly Button Buddies™, a multi-faceted concept in children's entertainment, began in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada in 1999. It is the delightful result of collaboration between visual artist Denyse Klette and writer-performer Nicole Haddock. Evolving from Denyse's paintings to Nicole's poetry and on to hundreds of performances for thousands of children, the Belly Button Buddies™ continue to bring a sense of fun to the young at heart.
