New VeggieTales website for kids

The website has been launched by the series' makers, Big Idea Entertainment, and has lots of fun and interactive features based on the popular VeggieTales characters, including stories, lessons, silly songs, e-cards and downloadable play activities.

Larry the Cucumber is on hand to greet visitors to the site and help them navigate their way around all the features.

A highlight will be "The Daily Word", hosted by Qwerty. A new Bible verse and short devotional will be posted each day for kids and voiced by a different VeggieTales character.

“We developed VeggieTales.com with our current fans in mind, but we hope the website excites and endears a new group of VeggieTales enthusiasts as well,” said Leslie Ferrell, General Manager of Big Idea Entertainment.

“We will continue to add fresh content to the site each month, making it a unique and exciting experience for visitors every time they return.

"We hope you’ll join Larry the Cucumber, Bob the Tomato, Petunia Rhubarb, Junior Asparagus and the rest of the Veggie bunch at our new home!”

In addition to the many interactive features on the site, VeggieTales.com includes a special resource section for parents, churches and schools. There is also a link to access a brand new VeggieTales consumer products store, with over 500 VeggieTales products available.
