HELPING CHILDREN THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX

When Martin first developed the idea of ‘The Villes’, he wanted to create a series of fun stories that would encourage young children to solve problems for themselves.

By following Herman on his adventures, they learn the art of  ‘thinking outside the box’ and taking a ‘helicopter view’ on issues…and although they probably won’t be struggling with issues like living in a place that’s constantly windy (Windyville), or where everyone is perpetually late (Latesville), they will hopefully be able to utilise these problem solving skills to solve the smaller issues they may face in their own world.
