What is Pacca Alpaca: Green about?
Pacca Alpaca: Green is an animated video for children aged 4 to 9 in which Pacca Alpaca shows them the colour green in the world around them.
Pacca Alpaca is a fantastically fluffy guide who travels the world with children, discovering languages and cultures along the way. This very short episode is part of his colours series. It opens with a painter's easel and the word "Colours!", and then the word GREEN, spelled out in green leaves.
From there, the colour is called out as green things come on the screen in real photographs and film. Many of them grow: a wall of ivy, a tall tree, a prickly cactus, lily pads on a pond and a crate of broccoli. There are green fruits too, a pile of pears and a crate of limes, and there are green things to play with: a toy turtle, a smiling frog and a handful of squishy green slime. Pacca joins in everywhere, flying a little plane past the treetops, snorkelling beside the turtle and hiding among the pears and the limes.
At the end comes the challenge: "Your turn! Find something green!" At just over a minute, it is quick enough to watch several times, and a walk in a park or a garden afterwards gives children plenty of green to find. It is not music-free.
