Days/Times Program Regularly Scheduled SA 09:30 AM
Total times aired at regularly scheduled time 13
Length of Program 30 mins
Age of Target Child Audience from 2 years to 6 years
Describe the educational and informational objective of the program and how it meets the definition of Core Programming. This animated program has four educational goals: to celebrate the power of inventing imaginative stories, to introduce basic literary concepts, to help viewers develop listening and comprehension skills, and to enrich vocabulary through storytelling. Pinky Dinky Doo, a 7-year-old girl, lives in the "great big city" with her parents. When a problem arises, Pinky dances her way to a cardboard story box and uses a piece of chalk and her imagination to tell a story. During the made-up story, Pinky must "think big" at which point she comes up with an often clever and wacky solution to the problem. To encourage listening skills, Pinky then invites children to play games where they review details about the story. Children are helped to increase their vocabularies with each episode's "Great Big Fancy Word," which is featured several times during each episode.
