All of us are coping with Covid-19. Charles The Clown has an idea, a small additional way to keep children occupied during this time when their outside activities are limited. It will keep Charles occupied, too. He's offering free video chats for kids age 4 - 7.

Lots of children are home now, busy with school work, watching screens, and playing computer games. Some kids might like to add a live, interactive video chat with Charles The Clown and Biscuit The Dog Puppet, Charles knows how to engage children, get them talking, laughing, and asking questions as he tells a silly joke or funny story.

The calls are going to be short — five minutes or so. Some longer, some only a quick hello. As always, Charles will take his cues from the children.
Please pass along this information to friends with kids aged 4-7. They can contact us to set a FaceTime or Zoom appointment for a Charles The Clown video chat. Perhaps a child wants to show Charles some art work she’s been creating, or tell Biscuit about her pets. Verbal interaction — the kind of communication that is lacking while playing video games or watching a pre-recorded show.
Your suggestions and thoughts about this project are welcome. For additional information or to schedule a Charles-Chat: ctmagician@gmail.com
