Colour Box @ Home: Sound & Music

Expect sweet sounds, kaleidoscopic music videos, and a song-and-dance number about how life begins in this programme of shorts for families to watch at home!

This isn't your average online film screening though - along with a brilliant selection of short films, you will receive a specially-made activity pack with various fun tasks to undertake, including making your own ‘Courage Trumpet’ to help overcome fears and embarrassment, and how to discover what a slinky sounds like (which is like a lightsaber btw).

Filmic highlights include the brilliant, rhythmical Orgiastic Hyper Plastic about humans’ love affair with plastic, and the Latvian short animation Choir Tour about a young choir that breaks away from their conductor while on tour and then causes mayhem in a hotel.

The screening itself will be split in two - the first half for ages 3-5, and the second half is geared towards 6+, but there’s nothing to stop you watching it all (and there’s plenty to be enjoyed by adults too!). Compère extraordinaire Sarah Hamilton Baker will guide you through the films and the activity pack.

We have 30 specially-made activity packs to give away… The activity packs will be given to the first 30 people to book on to the activity and can be collected from Stafford Library.
