Kids Writes

Kids Writes was an early program of the children's network Nickelodeon, running from approximately 1981 to 1983. The premise of the show was that children would compose short stories and mail them to the actors on Kids Writes. The best stories were then acted out on camera before a live audience.

Stories portrayed on Kids Writes would often involve typical child fantasies such as space flight, monsters, and children becoming heros to "save the day". Several stories featured devices known "tickling boots", no doubt reflecting the pleasure young children associate with the act of being tickled.
