With the Fun in the Sun Beach Bag, Maisy turns her attention to safe summer fun. The lightweight, see-through rucksack is perfect for collecting pebbles, shells and any other vital souvenirs from a day on the beach. However, it's made of plastic and has straps so is not suitable for children under the age of three. The beach bag contains lipscreen, a simple cotton hat and sunglasses--more for fashion than protection--as well as Maisy's video: Fun in the Sun.
The nine animated tales on the video each centre around a particular theme, loosely connected by the idea of having Fun in the Sun. The combination of bright colours and simple construction with jolly music and Pingu-style language, captures young imaginations, while Neil Morrissey once again provides the narration, gently guiding young viewers through the activities on screen and emphasising the educational aspects of each story.
The Episodes:
Beach shows Maisy arriving at the seaside--fully protected against the harmful effects of the sun in her hat, sunglasses and sun cream--to enjoy a day in the sun with her friends. In Hello preschoolers learn the noises that different animals make, while the friends don different headwear in Hats. Maisy gives Charley a birthday present in Umbrella, and Cyril has a slight accident in Oops. Maisy flies her plane and counts from one to 10 in Sky and Cyril catches a cold in Sneezes. Knock Knock finds Maisy looking for her friends and they have fun together in Feather. Roller Skates sees Maisy and Tallulah playing in the park.
The video, Fun in the Sun, is also available on its own.--Helen Baker
