Synopsis

Tía Patricia welcomes a group of children into the studio to learn and play with subjects drawn from the school curriculum. Explanations are combined with songs, humour and characters such as Buzón Preguntón, who answers questions and provides the programme's playful counterpoint.

Context & Trivia

The programme's best-documented puppet character is Buzón Preguntón, a large red full-body mailbox made from foam that completely concealed its performer. Raúl Alarcón, known as Florcita Motuda, played it first, and Willy Benítez later took over the character. The mailbox's mobile physical presence turned children's questions into short comic and musical routines.
