Slow and Flow

Every day you brush your teeth. But what if you did it in SLOW MOTION? Or super fast motion? Or backwards? How silly can we get doing ordinary activities at different speeds!

Monster Mash

Let’s be mad scientists and build a monster. Be the big, sharp teeth. Or the wings. Or the tentacles. Then work together with the other monster parts so we can scare the grown-ups. RAAAR!
