Sprout Network's NOODLE AND DOODLE to Debut 11/24

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. The Noodle and Doodle bus 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 Doodle fans 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 of The Sunny Side Up Show and master artist, Noodle and Doodle features 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 on Noodle and Doodle. Finally, the show's Doggity's cartoon segments have been updated with flash animation and new characters.
