Pucca is the daughter of a Chinese noodle house owner and is in love with the ninja, Garu. Garu has taken a vow of silence but makes it abundantly clear he has no interest in Pucca, and the two engage in mortal combat on a regular basis, with Pucca usually ending up stealing a kiss from Garu.
We really can't show Z this South Korean-made, anime-meets-Flash confection that blends the plotlines of Pepe Le Pew and the structure of Ms. Pac-Man interstitials, mostly because we're pretty careful about avoiding violence in her media, however cartoonish. In a few years, she may be ready for it. I hope so, anyway, because it's really fun stuff.

Factory, to whom we owe an infinite debt of gratitude for their recent re-release of The Electric Company, has released two DVDs of this great series, Ninjas Love Noodles and Kung Fu Kisses, and we're giving away a copy of Kung Fu Kisses to one ZRecs reader.

I wait until they are asleep
I love Pucca!
Thankfully, my kids are both still very open to kisses. All I have to do is pucker up and they come running. Or lurching, in Jasper's case...
Use Jedi mind tricks. It's all in the eyes.
Sneaking them in while tickling is especially fun!
Ah!!!! My husband and I call each other Pucca and Garu :o)
I steal a kiss by telling my husband that he has something on his face...then when I go in to look closer SMACK! I steal the kiss!!

I usually tickle my 2 year old son until he is too tired to fight! Of course, sometimes all I have to do is ask!
I can get the boys when they're "trapped" in their carseats.
Hug good byes is usually a great time to sneak a kiss :)
I sneak them a kiss while they are heading out the door to work.
I usually just go for it whenever I see an opening. Smooches are my favorite.
I am also a wait till the little one is sleeping kiss stealer.
I steal them from my 2 yo when he's in his car seat.....he can't wiggle away!

My DD Rory loves to give kisses, so she is easy. The hubby a little more subtle for the sneaking kisses!
Now that she is a tween it is usually at night when she is just going to bed.....

My almost-3-year-old is in an anti-kiss phase so I steal them by making them fun: butterfly kisses, Eskimo kisses, upside down kisses...
Use the sneak attack tactic! They can't refuse it when they don't see it coming. haha. ;) Thanks for the giveaway!
I dont have to steal one. My family gives them out freely
TRAP THEM IN A NET.
Just kiss them when they least expect it.
I wake my boys up every morning by getting in bed and snuggling. It is the only time that I can get them to stop long enough to talk to me.
pucker up...flutter eyelashes...and voila!
Come up behind him when he's washing the dishes and smooch the side of his neck. :-*
Sneak up and attack!

To my 2yo: I gonna eat your nose, I'm gonna eat your ear, I'm gonna eat your cheek, I'm gonna eat your chin, I'm gonna eat your eyes, then I sneak in with a kiss and she just giggles and giggles!
Sorry to darken the subject, but I've always tried not to play those games with the kids. Its loving, no doubt, but we try to let them have give permission first. I think its important that they know they can say no if they want to and expect an adult (or anyone else) to respect that.

A tickle on the tummy is a good distraction!
Welp, I tell my kiddies I have to tell you something and when they lean in, I plant one. But at their age, it's still pretty easy to get one. :)
i wait til they are sleeping for my goodnite kiss
pucca
Still love mistletoes but it's kind of hard in July!!!
i say, "oh my goodness, what's that large distracting thing over there?"
then i make my move
punch them in the face, then kiss them!
I sneak up behind them and do a cheek kiss and a cold nose to the side of the neck. It's a giggle starter.
When my daughter is IMing her friends...I sneak up on her and give her a kiss-lol-she is usually so involved in conversation, that I'm not even sure she know's what happened...lol...
I sneak up from behind and kiss them on the top of the head. Puuca is my favorite!
I strike from above. I look into my son's eyes upside down and kiss him smack on the nose. He never knows I'm coming and always laughs which is the best sound to hear for the day.
Ive always done this to my daughter...I will tell her "hey something is on your nose..let me get a close look" than I get really close and KISS her!
i bribe, threaten and blackmail.
in addition, every night before my eldest went to bed, he was required to say "I am having a wonderful childhood". This worked great if he was upset, it brought giggles. If he was happy, it was planted in his memory.
Bribery and/or threats.
when they are still asleep
I like to run up behind her and give her the "ninja sneak attack." Grab her, spin her around, and plant one on her.
A tickle and a quick kiss- gotta sneak it in.
i want to win
I steal 'em as I leave them and greet them, or when we are getting ready to go to bed! My boys would be THRILLED with this!
It's all about earning them!
ah grasshopper it is all in the approach. I approach, I beckon, and he throws himself at me. it's shamefull really
"There's an eyelash on your cheek...'
theyyyguy@yahoo.com
tell them to close their eyes
I like a good chase!!!
dansan826 at yahoo.com
just grab it
do one of those, first person to smile loses contests, and then sneak in for one, and then say "you lose" if they smile after the kiss
my kids dont mind kisses :)
I catch him asleep and wake him up that way.
Would Love to win

Probably easiest when the little ones are still and sleeping at night. :0) Thanks!

my favorite way to steal a kiss is to do it when you see them falling asleep, sneak in and steal it!
When they're sound asleep and peaceful is the perfect "steal a kiss" time. Plus they just look so precious.
Cute! My son loves to play pretend store, so I often ask him how much for a kiss. :)
I pin him down, tickle him till he submits and then kiss away :)
I blogged you at Prizeatron!

I just tell my daughter I need a "wake up hug and kiss" I never even get out of bed without one - she loves it.
I get them when they're distracted!
My baby is only 8 months so he's too little to fight back! Ha ha!
bribery works well
Hold candy out for them then steal a kiss. garrettsambo@aol.com
I just ask him,what is that on the back of your shirt?Works every
time

I've seen Pucca steal kisses from Garu in every sneaky way imaginable.
But for me the simplest way is just to pretend I have something super secret to tell my husband.
When he leans in to hear the dirt, I go in for the kiss.
At least that's how I'll do it until my ninja training is complete.

When my daughter went through a stage, at 4, where she was through with kissing me, I taught her about "Princess Kisses" where mommy pretends to be the prince and she's the princess and we kiss. It totally worked.
sneak up on them ;)
while you're tickling someone
What's your favorite tactic for stealing a kiss from someone you love? Sneaking up behind them!
My line is always "pay the price" which means "give me a kiss".
wait till shes asleep
causeyland(at)msn.com
the reverse shoulder tap
I usually kiss her hand first, then pick her up and plant one on her face. We play around with multi-kisses (twenty or so fast kisses really fast) or dramatic kisses (mmmmm-mwaaaa)...and sometimes butterfly kisses. Fun, fun!
"Just do it."
I wait until they are asleep.
I wait until they are asleep or offer a cookie for a kiss!:)
wait till there taking a nap
I wait until they are asleep.
