A LETTER FROM LOIS


Dear fans of Take Part, Hands Up! Hands On!, Tell-a-Tale Town, and Hey Kids! What's Cookin'? and Surf's Up! Let's Cook!

Help! We are flooded by snail mail! Due to the tremendous mail response we've had through regular post from our TV viewers (over 300,000 letters so far - almost as many as sent to the ENTIRE YTV network!) we've been forced to revise how we handle our mail. Welcome to the solution - our new Home Page.

KIDS! Check the Home Page for great ideas from all four TV series. Take Part tongue twisters from Crazy Mister Twister. Arts and crafts ideas, puppet-making, a colouring page, new recipes and more.

PARENTS AND CAREGIVERS! Look for ideas for adults who live or work with kids. Inventive ways to paint, motivate kids to tell stories, or even sing a story to the tune of This Old Man.

TEACHERS! We've got reading resources! Visit Readers Theatre Online Canada! and our Choral Speaking Home Page for free teacher's guide and sample read-aloud and choral scripts.

We want all our viewers to know how much we appreciate their interest in our shows and the creative activities which spring from them. In these days of so much television violence and negative thinking, your letters have given us a sense of pride and hope for our children's future. We believe in the value of creative, hands-on participation and will continue to stress that kind of children's television.

And for our growing legion of moms, dads, scout leaders, teachers, and kids who take time to write, we will continue our fast-growing and popular Take Part Fan Club.

When you join the Fan Club, you'll receive the Take Part Participation Pack which features more ideas and projects from all our TV programs. You'll receive a puppet-making kit, lots more Hands Up! Hands On! craft and recipe ideas, the Take Part sing-along cassette tape, and for story lovers, the saga of "Marvin the Missing Mailman!" Click on Partaicipation Pack for more information.

Again, thanks for your interest in quality, creative TV programming for kids. We hope you'll continue to support our shows and forever be imaginative, creative fans.

Love
