| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Artzooka! is a live action arts and crafts show encouraging creativity in children ages 7-10. The host, Jeremie, guides the audience step-by-step through a variety of projects that use recycled materials or tech gadgets found in most households. Each project typically includes an extension where Jeremie demonstrates a way that the simple craft can be individualized or enhanced to make a more interesting and advanced piece of art. Jeremie speaks directly to the audience, and the audience is frequently asked to guess what he is creating and also to send pictures to the show's website of the projects they create. Using the word "artzooka" as a verb, Jeremie models how the audience could envision how everyday materials can be reshaped and repurposed into art. There is typically a segment modeling this approach using everyday items from different environments; a classroom, a sewing bag, or from something shown in an animated short with the animated side-kick "Paper Bag". Overall, the show's theme of creativity and engagement is captured in it's tagline: "What will you Artzooka! today? |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Tree Fu Tom is a live action/animated series about a little boy who lives in a rural area and has a rich fantasy life in the woods behind his home. Tom uses specific movement to summon up magic powers that permit him to morph into an animated hero and fly around in Treetopolis, the animated version of his woods. While in the Treetopolis, Tom and his friends, Ariella, Twigs, Squirmturn and Zigzoo will invariably run into a problem or disaster that needs fixing. Tom calls upon the audience to practice original dance moves that will bring him magic so he and his friends can resolve their challenge of the day. Educational messages reinforce positive socio-emotional content, with examples that model: being loyal to good friends, knowing how to ask for help, doing the right thing instead of what is convenient, making the effort to share rather than being selfish, or relying on teamwork in order to accomplish a goal. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | Groundling Marsh is a puppet-based show aimed at children ages 4 - 8. It is set in a magical swamp, featuring an ensemble cast of five characters; unique creatures called Groundlings, and a robot/computer named Stacks. Each episode contains a specific environmental issue in the marsh that the characters must address, with each Groundling approaching the problem in a unique way. The leader of the group is Eco, an ancient and wise woman who knows more than anyone about the ways of the world. Eco, provides guidance for all the groundlings, many times through moral lessons that focus on teamwork, compassion, honesty, caring, and always a reverence for the environment. Usually the character hearing the moral misinterprets or miscalculates how to manage the problem until the show comes to the final resolution, where the group has learned the lesson and reflects upon Eco's words. The Groundlings are rounded out by Maggie, the youngest and most exuberant; Galileo, the engineer type who built Stacks; Mud/Slinger, a creature with two dissimilar heads and two personalities, that considers itself an inventor; and a single antagonist, Hegdish, comes on the scene occasionally, and he is selfish, cynical and less concerned about the environment than the rest of the Groundlings. In the end, though the entire group understands you cannot give up conservation if you want to save Earth's environment. |

The shop's one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chica's nanny and the ensemble is rounded out by Bunji, a large floppy eared rabbit and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits int he window. In each episode Chica develops or encounters a problem that she cannot immediately resolve. Usually her issues involve impulse control, distractibility, judgment, and inter-personal behaviors. She and Kelly usually work on the problem through an adventure - a fantasy transformation to animation - where Bunji and Stitches come alive and join Chica and Kelly for the problem solving process. The core educational content is primarily socio-emotional development, and Chica learns how to express herself properly, think before she acts, and interact with others effectively. She often learns that it takes hard work and practice to become proficient at different skills. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | An animated series, Zou is the story of a 5-year-old zebra, Bizou, who lives in an inter-generational household composed of his parents, grandparents, and great-grandmother. They reside in a lovely brightly covered suburban community of vertical, bi-pedaled zebras that walk, talk, dress and interact like humans. Bizou's best friend, Elzee lives next door and his other good friend, Zac, is often found in his father's store. Bizou also has a less rewarding relationship with his snooty, spoiled cousin Zinnia, a budding ballerina. We follow Zou through his hum-drum days, vicariously participating in his birthday, a trip to the store, taking his pet parakeet Poc, to the doctor, or helping Elzee find a lost toy. The show is very centered on family and personal relationships, and the abundant adults in the family are always around to guide but not direct Bizou through his dilemmas, projects, and predicaments. |

He begins with a problem that vexes him and daydreams his way into an adventure that takes him to places around the world, but also provides him with an experience that helps him solve his problem when he returns home. While on the adventure he is accompanied by Olive, a knowledgeable imaginary playmate, and Squidgy the morphing flying sponge, who provides commentary and comedy along the way. Justin's lessons involve learning, for example, that it takes focus to achieve success, failure can teach what we need to do to succeed next time, or when one path to solve a problem doesn't work, you can find another way to get to your goal. Justin is all about self-directed learning from the young child's perspective and imagination. |

It takes place in an imaginary setting, Lazy Town, and most episodes relate children's eating and fitness habits to problem solving in their "real world." The lead character, Stephanie, guides the audience through the story. She and her best friends, a group of "human" puppets reside in Lazy Town, where her uncle is the Mayor Milford Meanswell. The underground spy and influencer who defines the ethos of Lazy Town is Robbie Rotten, and he is determined to ruin the health and fitness practices of Stephanie and her friends. When the kids get into difficulties with Robbie Rotten, it is Sportacus, gymnast/athlete who comes to the rescue from him home in a spaceship that overs over earth, prepared to answer to any call for help. The ever-resent theme of Lazy Town is to eat "sports candy" which consists of fruits and vegetables, get sufficient sleep, and go outside and engage in a wide range of physical activities, from playing games, holding athletic competitions, to building forts and play structures. |

| Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. | The Chica Show features a five-year-old "baby" chick that spends her days with her parents in their costume shop, the Coop. The shop's one employee, Kelly, doubles as Chica's nanny and the ensemble is rounded out with Bunji, a large floppy eared rabbit and Stitches, a straw mannequin that sits in the window. Chica's parents were formerly entertainers in the vaudeville tradition and they regale the audience with stories and songs from their theatrical past. They enjoy and indulge Chica, who sometimes acts younger than her age and gets into all kinds of predicaments. Kelly uses fantasy play to transform herself, Chica, Bunji and Stitches into animated characters in another universe, who are struggling with a problem similar to the one Chica experienced in the Coop. Without fail, they find the problem can be solved and they carry that knowledge back to the Coop to use on another day. |

A narrator, also named Lara, reads a story to her cat in each episode. This story stars the narrator's own Poppy Cat, who envisions and takes his friends on imaginary adventures. The friends are Zuzu, a Dalmatian who zips around on a skateboard; Alma, a southern belle bunny who is ultra-feminine and sweetly dramatic, Mo, a little mouse who tries his best to do as much as everyone else despite his size; Owl, the wise one who is prone to neck rolls and commentary when things irritate him or don't make sense, and the grouchy Egbert, an arrogant and obnoxious badger who refuses to play with the group and invariably attempts to sabotage their adventures. Occasionally Hilda, a forgetful and ditzy pigeon who flies into their adventures, appears to say hello or provide misguided directions to the friends. Once their mission is accomplished, the friends return to their little village and resume their cheerful, active lives. At the conclusion of her story, Lara closes her book and says good-bye to Poppy Cat, who is usually ready for his nap. |
