Sprout, the first 24-hour preschool destination available on TV,
on demand and online for kids ages 2-5 and their parents and
caregivers, will feature a special Halloween-themed presentation of
The Good Night Show called "Sprout's Sweet Good Night Treat" from
6-9 p.m. ET on Sunday, October 31. Hosts Nina and Star will
play dress up games, sing spooktacular songs, read fun Halloween
stories, and help parents wind down their kids for bedtime after a
day filled with Halloween excitement. Plus, viewers will
enjoy playfully spooky episodes of their favorite shows such as
Caillou®, Berenstain Bears™, Thomas & Friends™ and Angelina
Ballerina™.
Sprout's live preschool morning show, The Sunny Side Up Show,
will also be celebrating Halloween all week long with fun tricks
and treats hosted by Dennisha and Chica the Chicken.
Additionally, throughout the month of October, Sprout is hosting
the "Halloween Costume Parade" where parents can upload a video of
their child - and even their pets! - dressed in his or her latest
homemade costume at SproutOnline.com. Families can then
tune-in to The Sunny Side Up Show from Monday, October 25 through
Sunday, October 31, from 9am-noon ET and also during "Sprout's
Sweet Good Night Treat" to see if their child's video has been
selected to be on television. Halloween-themed games, crafts,
recipes and coloring pages will be available at
SproutOnline.com.
