I watched Magic Hands on
CBeebies the other day, when my grandson was playing.
Camilla Arnold is the
writer, director and producer of Magic Hands.
The theme tune is catchy,
the animation basic.
Ashley, Donna, Aimee and
Simon feature in different episodes signing and acting out the poem. They pick
and create pictures out of the air to tell the story; remarkable if only real
life was like that!
In my opinion, it’s
unique, not sure about some of the poems that are read out; some don’t rhyme
and children like rhyme.
Perhaps a future series children
could be encouraged to write poems to send in; to be animated, read and
acted out by child actors?
My final thought; it’s a great introduction to poetry for young children.
What do you think?
