toot & puddle curriculum

Each adventure with Toot & Puddle is an opportunity for young children to expand their frame of reference by not only introducing them to new people and places but also demonstrating new ways to interact and solve problems with others.

Toot & Puddle help young children recognize the value of other people's feelings and perspectives as well as their own. Their relationship provides the opportunity to demonstrate positive attributes of friendship including acknowledging the value of others' feelings and abilities, treating others fairly, issues of sharing, and resolving conflicts.

As Toot & Puddle encounter challenges, they encourage children to rely on humor, fairness, and creativity while modeling problem-solving behaviors. Toot & Puddle discover the importance of being willing to try, asking useful questions, using trial and error, valuing other points of view, and asking for help.

As each episode introduces children to new people and places, emphasis is placed on developing children's natural curiosity. By accurately describing places, focusing on physical details and featuring geographical vocabulary and concepts, Toot & Puddle help young children become increasingly observant.
