Spirit Ship Promo Jar: $5
A promotional object for Spirit Ship: this jar will keep your 4-10 year old child busy for a few minutes, up to a few hours. This reused babyfood jar (with shimmery painted lid) contains:
• Tiny key
• Small shell
• Sand
• Full-color printed Spirit Ship film still, with the words: "Spirit Ship: A short film about and for young children, www.littlecreaturesfilms.com"
Each jar is a little different. Hand-painted (acrylic) top has a little shimmer and a range of ocean blues and an acrylic gel coating. Some jars are short, some are taller. All are from baby food, so they range from 2.5 to 3.5 inches tall, and are 2 inches in diameter. The jars come with various Spirit Ship stills, and the buyer can specify which you would like:
• Milo with camera (featured in image of jar)
• Girls walking in the sunlight (still from home page of Little Creatures website)
• Girls in boat, talking
• Lindsy looking through magnifying glass
The jar is designed as a take-away for children who see the Spirit Ship trailer at Little Creatures' events and focus groups in NYC and around the country, but we are selling it here on our website as well, to spread the word about Spirit Ship and Little Creatures. Parents have told us that their children kept coming back to the jar for weeks after the screening event, leading us to wonder about the power of media versus tangible objects (something for us educators to think about!). Most children are captivated by the idea of "treasure," so this jar, with its key, shell and film still/photo hiding in the sand, will not disappoint, and will likely be explored by your little one for hours on end.
