Synopsis

Bong is playing with a Bong-in-the-Box straight out of Bing's satchel when they spy a group of Flockers mulling over how to clean a dirty window at the top of a tall building. The Bong-in the-Box gives Bing an idea. The Flockers, Bing and Bong band together to make a larger box containing a chair latched to a compressed spring. Bing climbs in the box with a squeegee and successfully soars up to the window to clean. Bong and Flockers, each on their own spring, trampoline or pogo-stick help out as well. Who thought cleaning could be so much fun.

Production notes

Tiny Planet of Technology

Not all springs look alike, for example: trampoline, pole vault, pogo stick, and diving board. Springs are useful for launching things into the air.

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.
