the WotWots Become First Ambassadors for New Zealand’s B4 School Checks

the WotWots have become the first ambassadors for New Zealand’s Ministry of Health’s B4 School Checks, an initiative offering a comprehensive assessment of a four year old child’s health and development.

Officially launched today by New Zealand’s Minister of Health Hon. Tony Ryall, B4 School Checks ensure children are ready for school and identify any physical, emotional and social issues that could impact on a child’s ability to learn and often have life-changing outcomes for children and their families.

Co-Founder of Weta Workshop, Sir Richard Taylor said “When we began speaking to the Ministry of Health about the B4 School Check initiative, we knew it was something the WotWots had to be a part of.  We hope with the WotWots involvement, it encourages more parents to take their young ones in for a health check so they can have every opportunity to grow and learn.”

The partnership will see every child going in for a B4 School Check receive a free the WotWots colouring in, activity or board book and a sticker.  the WotWots will also be featured on B4 School Check resources and the partnership appear together at the Parent and Child Show in Auckland at the end of September.  A the WotWots ringtone will also be available for download at www.thewotwots.com and DottyWot and SpottyWot will appear at early childhood centres across New Zealand.

The second season of the WotWots can be seen on TV2 at 8.50am weekdays.
