Synopsis
On the Tiny Planet of Technology, Bing and Bong suddenly land on a moving, hand-operated, railway bogey-which, unfortunately, is in the path of an oncoming train. Bing, Bong and the Railway Flocker race down the track, attempting to get out of the way, and encounter various obstacles that must be fixed with certain tools. Through trial and error, they eventually find the appropriate tool for each job-for instance, pounding a metal peg back into the track works better with a hammer than a rolling pin-and eventually make it far enough down the track to dodge the oncoming train.

Production notes
Tiny Planet of Technology
Different materials have different properties, and we need to consider them to find the right tool for the job (e.g., when something is broken, a soft blanket makes a lousy hammer, and when you want to stay warm, a hammer makes a lousy blanket).
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.
