Γίνεται ένας κύκλος να μεταμορφωθεί σε ήλιο, άνθρωπο και τηλέφωνο μέσα σε λίγα δευτερόλεπτα; Μπορούν να ζωντανέψουν τα βαγόνια ενός τρένου; Είναι δυνατόν ένας μάστορας να φτιάξει ανθρώπους; Αυτά και άλλα θαυμαστά πράγματα θα μας παρουσιάσει o αξιολάτρευτος σκύλος από πλαστελίνη Peo στην πρωτότυπη σειρά ταινιών της Fusako Yusaki που θα παρακολουθήσουν γονείς και παιδιά. Κατόπιν, παιχνίδια με χρώματα, σχήματα και μουσική θα ζωντανέψουν ακόμα περισσότερο τα έργα των ζωγράφων Juan Miró, Paul Klee, Mark Rothko και Keith Harring. Και στο τέλος, όλοι μαζί θα πάρουμε χρώματα, χαρτιά, πινέλα και ψαλίδια για να δώσουμε μορφή στα δικά μας έργα. Ελάτε να παίξουμε μαζί με τον Peo!
