"Storytelling Zaki" is a loveable plush doll of our “character chameleon”, Zaki.  "Storytelling Zaki" has six (6) fables written into short stories and rhymes starring the Spruce Street Six.  Like Zaki in the chapter books, "Storytelling Zaki" has fins on the back which change colors when the kids are in situations where they should stop, slow down and think, or go for it! There is also the Zaki song which describes Zaki’s color changing process. Zaki will include a cartridge slot that will allow the consumer to get new stories, thereby keeping Zaki fresh and extending the product’s lifecycle. The exposure to the different stories and dilemmas in the stories will give more exposure to how proper moral decisions should be made.  In addition, the visual aspect of the changing colors will give visual feedback to compliment the auditory feedback.

As our lives get busier, opportunities to engage in conversations about building strong character seem to happen much less often. Life’s Building Blocks has created tools to help create these conversations on a regular basis.  Our team includes prominent ethicist, award winning writers and illustrators, and individuals who were involved with the product development for companies like Leapfrog®, Baby Einstein®, and Sesame Street®, so as you’re teaching, the kids are just having fun.

Life’s Building Blocks products are based upon a group of kids called the Spruce Street Six: Honest Jake, Jessica the Brave, Calm Carlos, Lauren Never Quits, Jarrett the Just, and Kind Shawnie.  Your children will also be introduced to Zaki the Character Chameleon who helps the Spruce Street Six recognize morally charged situations and helps them make good decisions.  This makes the learning experience fun, easy to relate to, and positive.
