Philadelphia, Pa, November 2, 2011-A new season of 24-hour
preschool television channel Sprout's original crafts and cooking
series for preschoolers,Noodle and Doodle, will debut on
Thanksgiving morning, November 24 at 9:30 a.m. ET, marking the
expansion of this popular series from weekends only to its new
seven-day-a-week schedule. TheNoodle and Doodlebus will now
roll into families' homes every weekday morning at 9:00 a.m. and
again at 11:30 a.m. ET on weekends during television's only live
morning program for preschoolers,The Sunny Side Up Show.
Coinciding with the new season, Sprout has created a companion
app for Noodle and Doodlefans that is now available on
iTunes.
Doodle Dots, allows children to create everyday familiar
objects by connecting the dots. App users can choose one of
many items listed by Doodle and create images by connecting their
choice of circles, shapes, fruit, or numbers. Once the outline of
the image is complete, Doodle colors-in the outlined image to
reveal the final picture surprise.
Hosted by Sean, Sprout's co-host ofThe Sunny Side Up Showand
master artist,Noodle and Doodlefeatures arts, crafts and
nutritional recipes inspired by real preschoolers'
experiences. With his friends Noodle, a loveable puppet who
likes to help in the kitchen, and Doodle, a virtual, electronic
friend who lives in a tablet style device, Sean leads real
preschoolers and viewers at home to make all kinds of kid-friendly
creations. Sprout viewers discover healthy recipes and clever
crafts that families can create together using materials from
around the home, as well as recycled elements from the items used
in the actual recipes. All of the cooking and crafting takes
place inside a whimsical double-decker bus where Sean and his
helpers demonstrate step-by-step "how to" creations in an engaging,
simple way that families can recreate at home. Also along for
the ride is Sean's dog Doggity, an adorable beagle with the special
ability to take viewers into his imaginary, animated world where
culinary canines use teamwork to solve problems and cook up treats
in their own kitchen.
Featured in every episode of the new season, real preschoolers
and their families are shown gathering common items from around the
house for recycle-inspired craft projects that kids and parents can
share together. A new song - "Wash, Wash, Wash" - also ushers
in this season reminding young viewers to always wash their hands
before preparing the preschool-friendly, nutritional recipes
featured onNoodle and Doodle. Finally, the
show'sDoggity'scartoon segments have been updated with flash
animation and new characters.
