Award-winning preschool series Zip and the Tiny Sprouts, crafted in Queensland, set to premiere on ABC Kids 

ABC Kids premiere extends social and emotional learning from early learning services into homes across Australia.

Global children's education and media company Tiny Souls Media has announced that its Kidscreen Award-winning preschool series, Zip and the Tiny Sprouts, will premiere on ABC Kids later this year, extending its trusted social and emotional learning approach from early learning settings into homes across Australia. 

Written, directed and animated by Brisbane's Fade In Studios, Zip and the Tiny Sprouts showcases Australian creative talent and draws on the experience of artists and storytellers who have contributed to internationally acclaimed children's productions, including Bluey. The Australian broadcast deal was secured by WildBrain, Tiny Souls Media’s global distribution partner. 

Already supporting thousands of children through educators and early learning services across Australia, the Tiny Souls social and emotional learning platform provides research-backed resources and activities that build confidence, resilience and emotional wellbeing. The ABC Kids premiere allows that same learning and fun to continue at home, thereby strengthening the connection between early learning services and families. 

As educators and parents increasingly recognise the importance of children's emotional wellbeing alongside academic development, demand for high-quality social and emotional learning resources continues to grow. 

"When we created Tiny Souls, our vision was to build an ecosystem of meaningful media and resources that help children, families and educators develop the confidence and emotional skills they need to thrive," said Shadi Toloui-Wallace, Founder of Tiny Souls Media. 

"Seeing Zip and the Tiny Sprouts premiere on ABC Kids is special because it allows many more Australian families to continue those same lessons at home. When children experience the same messages from both educators and guardians at home, those lessons become even more powerful. As someone who grew up watching ABC Kids, I'm incredibly proud that Zip will now become part of that journey for a new generation of Australian children." 

Nominated for multiple Australian Writers’ Guild AWGIE Awards, Zip and the Tiny Sprouts brings its mission to life through engaging stories, original music and memorable characters. Set in the whimsical world of Harmony Hollow, the series follows Zip, Aria, Riff and Hum as they discover that every challenge is an opportunity to learn and grow, inspiring all children to do the same. The series explores themes such as kindness, gratitude, empathy and friendship through meaningful, memorable and engaging stories. 

With its ABC Kids premiere, Tiny Souls Media takes another important step towards its vision of helping every child thrive, wherever they learn, play and grow.
