Who am I?
What am I?
When I wake up in the morning is the world exactly the same as I left it last night?
What is a friend
or a pet
or a baby?
Am I small only if compared to something bigger?
Why do we play
or cry
or ask questions?
What’s the big idea?
Because philosophy is too important
to leave to grown ups.

Preschool programme in German sign language - from and with deaf children This time, the little blue elephant and his friend, the pink rabbit, present a special "Sendung mit dem Elefanten": a whole feature in German sign language for and with deaf children but certainly also for all children able to hear. The programme will be broadcasted on Friday, April 5th, on KIKA (the German children's channel). In it, deaf children in their own way tell the fairy tale "Little Red Riding Hood," present the classic children's song "Alle meine Entchen" (All my little ducklings) and invite the children to join in guessing in an animal quiz. Here, it shows clearly how easy it often is to understand one another even without one spoken word. The special of "Die Sendung mit dem Elefanten" is part of the KIKA feature weekend "Project: Living Together" within the emphasis of the year on "Integration & Inclusion."

There must be something wrong with Pferd - one of his teeth hurts and is loose! He can't even eat like a horse! Wolle wants to help his friend und tries to pull out the wobbly tooth.

Elmar loves his older sister Carla more than anything. Whenever he needs her, Carla is there. She has taught him everything: how to swim, squint and do summersaults. When Carla decides to leave home and move to another city to go to university, Elmar is taken aback. How on earth will he manage without her? Carla needs to stay! But how can he make her do so? Luckily, his younger sister Milli has got an idea. Together they try to make Carla stay at home. But all efforts are in vain and Elmar realizes he has to let go of Carla. Suddenly, Elmar finds himself in a similar situation as Carla: he takes charge of his younger sister Milli and starts teaching her the important lessons of life.

The film depicts the process of letting go of a beloved person. The events are told from a child’s perspective. Rather than presenting the sibling’s departure as a loss, it is shown as an event which opens new possibilities. The protagonist is no longer the young brother who looks up to his big sister but the older brother who takes on responsibility for his young sister. He grows and gains self-confidence in the process. Thus, the film presents a positive role-model for children who fear change and do not want to confront unfamiliar situations.

Mofy finds a delicious looking apple in the orchard. She starts to sing to create a song inspired from the fallen apple but being unable to finish her song. While she feels discouraged, Kerry comes along to invite Mofy to his house for tea. In a small boat on the pond, Kerry takes out a banana which he has been saving to eat in the right situation. He cuts the banana in half and shares this to Mofy. Mofy looking surprised asks Kerry why he shares such a delicious banana with others. Kerry answers “I suppose it’s because you’re my friend!” Mofy takes out the apple she found in the orchard and decides to give half to Kerry. Now Mofy starts to sing the song of apple again, but this time the song will complete in piece due to the help of Kerry.

How do children who just started to learn the language recognize colors?
When the parents show their children an apple and tell them "this is red", do they understand that it's about not figure but color?
When we had this question, we thought that if there is an application which shows just colors and says the name of colors with children's voices, children would enjoy studying the concept of colors.
We started to make this application from such idea.

The goal of Nozy's Idea Workshop is not so much to show children how to make things, though they do learn that on the program, but rather to foster in them the desire and ability to be creative. The main characters on the show are Nozy (a clownish fairy from the Kingdom of Play), and his pals, the Synapoohs. The evercurious Nozy finds it amusing to look in on the human world and make his own things, assisted by jolly Uncle Craft, who lives in a wastebasket. The program weaves together a number of short segments such as "Scribble!" and the “Arts-and-Crafts Song,” showing viewers how to have fun drawing and use scissors and so on, and stimulating them to think, "I want to make something, too!"
