Title
VeggieTales at Kidz On Earth
Description
This tiny shop seems to attract the young at heart. First there was Angel Face which evolved into a wholesale operation. Then there was Zipadees which now is located in a much larger store on NE Broadway.
Now David Almgren brings us Kidz on Earth. David, who was a children¹s pastor for eight years, started Kidz on Earth as an online store (see http://www.kidzonearth.com).The success of this website and his desire to work with kids led him to open the shop on Fremont. He wants to sell kids products that are educational as well as entertaining. But not just any kid products. The products sold at Kidz on Earth are designed to make a positive impression on kids. As he explained, "kids are like wet cement‹you need to imprint them at an early age."
The primary branded products sold at the store are from VeggieTales. Big Ideas Production, creator of VeggieTales, is now one of the leading brands of children's videos. The video series teaches kids about honesty, kindness, forgiveness and other values. I had to admit I knew nothing about Bob the Tomato and Larry the Cucumber. But according to Newsweek, these are "the veggies kids actually like." I¹m intrigued and may actually take David up on his offer to loan me a video. You can also see new releases of Big Ideas videos at Hollywood Theater. Check out the schedule for the shows at Kidz on Earth.
