A few sites I frequent have linked to this site. It's a kid's project on show in the Netherlands. It is called Funky Forest and is an interactive ecosystem, put together by Theodore Watson and Emily Grobeille, that invites kids to use their bodies to create and grow trees which they then 'water' by diverting water from digital waterfalls, to feed the trees, keep them alive and develop a healthy ecosystem. There is a video on the site, it looks fantastic, if I was closer I think I would probably go hang out with the kids at this.
