Synopsis

When Bing and Bong arrive, they encounter a group of bickering Locals. Bing quickly intervenes, offers them two colored balls to play with, and continues on with Bong to the frozen yoghurt stand in the distance. But the journey is not an easy one for Bing: Bing is tripped by one of the Locals' balls, splattered with mud, and bumped on the head. After each incident, Bing performs a releasing tension routine to keep anger in check. Bing teaches the same routine to Bong when Bong is angry that the frozen yoghurt stand is broken. Soon, though, after a Local fixes the machine, Bing and Bong are able to enjoy their cones.

Production notes

Tiny Planet of Self

Anger should not be expressed by yelling, hitting, etc. Instead, anger should be handled by finding ways to calm down and then calmly working out a solution to the problem that caused the anger.

Bing and Bong are the heroes of the universe, flying to tiny planets on their fluffy white sofa to explore and discover color, nature, sound and technology.

This TV series is aimed toward 3- to 5-year-olds. The series can be divided into 16 26-minute episodes.

This is the only Montessori-endorsed television program in the world.
