Kids2, a global company focused on holistic solutions for early-stage parents and families, announced the launch of Baby Einstein Ocean Explorers, a new STEAM-focused ocean adventure edutainment series produced in conjunction with a comprehensive line of two dozen products for children, including toys and baby gear.
Created in partnership with child development experts Hello Einstein Studios and EDH Animation, each Baby Einstein Ocean Explorers five-minute episode reinforces early learning skills through repetition and interactivity as beloved Baby Einstein characters Cal, Neptune, Opus, Tinker and Dean discover undersea and seaside wonders together with young viewers.
“Baby Einstein Ocean Explorers is our biggest launch of content and product yet,” said Ryan Gunnigle, CEO and Owner of Kids2 and Founder of Hello Einstein Studios. “From its expert-led creative direction to its unique format, the show reimagines how entertainment can engage, teach, and inspire young viewers. Plus, we bring the nautical theme to life with more than two dozen products that integrate the series’ songs, characters and themes.”
Children and their parents co-view the engaging and educational episodes, which help introduce early STEAM concepts and support key developmental milestones through multi-sensorial engagement. During each adventure, children and their caregivers dive deep into the ocean ecosystem using inquiry skills like observation while interacting with Cal and friends above and below the sea.
Hello Einstein Studios, a media entertainment company that creates trusted, best-in-class children’s educational entertainment, has partnered with Moonbug, the award-winning global entertainment company behind some of the most popular kids’ titles including CoComelon and Blippi, on distribution and new series development to bring a host of Baby Einstein shows including Ocean Explorers, Sandbox and Baby Einstein Classics to new audiences looking for preschool STEAM-based edutainment.
Dan’l Hewitt, Moonbug Entertainment’s Vice President of Brand Partnerships said, “We are big fans of Baby Einstein and Kids2. Moonbug is incredibly excited about the opportunity to work on this new series together provoking children’s natural curiosity.”
“Each episode was created to spark curiosity while supporting key development milestones,” said Rochelle Wainer, Ph.D. and Senior Vice President of Global Insights and Analytics at Kids2. “The series also offers practical contextual learning through the combination of animation and real-world imagery of the ocean’s plants and animals.”
Ocean Explorers is now streaming. A new episode will drop each week through March on the Baby Einstein YouTube channel. The series will soon be available on other streaming platforms and there are plans to localize and distribute in French, Spanish, German, and Japanese in Spring 2023.
