PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC coming to PBS Kids

It's time to spark your child's creativity! A new show, PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC, is premiering on PBS KIDS on Monday, February 19, 2018.  The animated show is based on the popular best-selling Pinkalicious book series by Victoria Kann and encourages kids to engage in self-expression through music, dance and visual arts.  

PINKALICIOUS & PETERRIFIC follows the adventures of Pinkalicious and her brother, Peter, as they explore the town of Pinkville with their neighborhood friends. Pinkalicious is an artist at heart and has a unique perspective on the world. She's also not afraid to express herself--though sometimes she needs a little help from her friends. Each episode includes two 11-minute stories featuring Pinkalicious, Peter and their friends, and one live-action interstitial. The interstitials will feature real-life kids creating art, as well as profiles of professional artists.

As a PBS KIDS VIP blogger, we received some Pinkalicious goodies in preparation of the premiere and got to share them with a friend in the target audience (ages 3-5.) She was so excited! Purplicious is a well-known sequel to Pinkalicious and the book Pinkadoodles was new to us. We think it would make a fabulous gift. The book features over 100 pages of pictures for kids to complete and create their own doodles. Take a look inside:

We encourage all little ones to stay creative through drawing, molding (sand and play doh,) observing nature, music and of course through play.
