My Week with SproutOnline.com: As Seen on TV

Madeline Fretz - Most of the blocks that aired on Sprout have had their own "websites" on SproutOnline.com.


Let’s start off with The Let's Go Show. Launched in 2007, the block's companion website featured games, crafts, recipes, songs, and videos from the block. Lyrics of some of the songs were also on The Sharing Show's website, but I’ll talk about that later.

When The Sunny Side Up Show launched in 2007, that too got its own website. Here, you could play games, watch videos, print and color pages, and send in content such as birthday wishes and messages to the block, and see them live on TV.

The Sprout Sharing Show launched alongside its own website in 2008. This was a place to send in videos and artwork, make crafts, star on PICMe, listen to songs (including ones from The Let's Go Show and The Good Night Show), and play the "Make a Puppet" game. The Art Studio game, which debuted online a year prior, was moved here.

And last but not least I’m topping off the post with The Good Night Show and its website, where you could listen to stories read by Nina, play games, make crafts, learn activities such as sign language and stretching, listen to songs, and explore the themes talked about on the block.

After the blocks ended, promos for these websites would be shown on the channel before a commercial break. The promos featured kids going online with their parents, as with the usual Sproutonline.com song, and featured activities from the website demonstrated by a female announcer.
