Dear Families and Early Childhood Professionals:
The following DVD packages are designed to add diversity, beauty and poetry to family, museum and school libraries all over the world. I am very happy to introduce our new Spirit Ship DVD/Book set, available for pre-order (will ship in Jan 2012), which includes essays written by myself and Elisha Georgiou (M.Ed.), which is designed to extend the Spirit Ship viewing experience in a multitude of ways (see images and examples below). If you would like to screen any of our films for a wider audience than your family, for example elementary up to graduate level courses, please purchase the DVDs at the Institutional Rate. All proceeds of these sales go toward making more unique and beautiful films for and about young children's imaginative adventures in the natural world. Thank you for shopping with Little Creatures.
Warmly,
Kristin B. Eno, M.Ed.
Director, Little Creatures Films

Spirit Ship Treasure Jar
A take-away treasure for Spirit Ship: Parents have told us that their children kept coming back to their jars for weeks after various screening events, leading us to wonder about the power of tangible objects (something for us parents and educators to think about!). Most children are captivated by the idea of "treasure," so this jar, with its key, shell and film still/photo hiding in the sand, will not disappoint, and will likely be explored by your little one for hours on end. Painted lid on reused babyfood jars (ranging from 2.5 to 3.5 inches tall, 2 inches in diameter). Each jar contains:
• Tiny key
• Small shell
• Sand
• Full-color printed Spirit Ship film still, with the words: "Spirit Ship: A short film about and for young children, www.littlecreaturesfilms.com"
Each jar comes with a separate full-color Spirit Ship still and info about the film. Buyers can specify (please send note in your Pay Pal checkout page):
• Milo with camera (featured in image of jar)
• Girls walking in the sunlight (still from home page of Little Creatures website)
• Girls in boat, talking
• Lindsy looking through magnifying glass
Spirit Ship Treasure Jar: $5
