Delta Education, LLC, launched a new series of science activity kits designed to appeal to young girls and boys, fans of the Cartoon Network's "The Powerpuff Girls".
Every four to six weeks, children who enroll in The Powerpuff Girls Club, available exclusively from Troll at Home Book Clubs, receive a new Delta Education activity kit that is designed to educate and entertain children.

"Then children bring their excitement and interest back into the classroom to approach learning in a highly motivated way."
"The Powerpuff Girls" is a very popular animated show on Cartoon Network. Created by Craig McCracken in 1998, the girls have a mission: To save the world before bedtime. In each episode, Buttercup, Bubbles, and Blossom match wits and muscle with a variety of villains. The show's increasing popularity led to The Powerpuff Girls movie, which opened on July 3, 2002 to excellent reviews.
"The Powerpuff Girls Club builds on the visual flair and creativity of the series with hands-on activities," explained Walker. "And our activities -- like the series -- are all about empowerment. We're telling girls and boys it's ok to be successful in any arena -- from superheros to scientists."
The Troll at Home Club, a Mahwah, New Jersey company, is available through school programs. Parents or guardians enroll their children in the Club, using forms provided by their child's school. Every four to six weeks, participating students receive a new activity kit that combines their favorite cartoon characters, lots of fun, and hands-on scientific concepts...all in one package.
Delta Education (http://www.delta-education.com), a New Hampshire-based corporation, publishes basal materials for science, with recent state adoption successes in Kentucky, Georgia, and Alabama with its National Science Foundation-funded FOSS program -- the country's major alternative to science textbooks. Its secondary school materials, carrying the CPO Science imprint, were adopted in Texas, Kentucky, Georgia, and Oregon in 2002. Delta is also a leading catalog and direct seller of supplemental science and math print and manipulative materials to schools, including the popular Delta Science Modules, which correlate with major elementary school textbooks. Its CPO Science imprint creates lab manuals, textbooks, investigations materials, professional development videos, and high-quality, hands-on laboratory equipment for use by secondary schools. It recently acquired Educators Publishing Service, expanding into the reading market. Delta also sells science activity kits in the retail market and holds activity kit licenses for Harry Potter(TM), Dexter's Laboratory(TM), and The Powerpuff Girls(TM) brands.
