Buy Me That Toy!

Topic Categories: Cultural ObservationStreaming videosTeaching

This is another video in the Buy Me That series, which is designed to teach kids how to think critically about the television commercials they are constantly bombarded with. In this episode, we see some kids playing with a toy that turns out to be the opposite of what it is advertised to be.

Perhaps this video should be required viewing for all kids in the weeks before Christmas?
