Sprout Media Kit

Madeline Fretz - Despite being a pretty small channel with a quite small fanbase, Sprout did spawn some merchandise such as toys and DVDs over the years. I have talked about Sprout puzzles in a previous post, today I'm talking about another rare(?) piece of Sprout merchandise that I really want. I believe I talked about this toy(?) in a previous post on this blog, and I'm deeply sorry if I did.

The Sprout Media Kit was made by Rob Kelly (source) and a company known as Structural Graphics. Shaped like the green flower in the iconic Sprout logo, the media kit contained an easel, an LCD screen that would show images of Sprout characters and shows such as Mr. Mailman, The Berenstain Bears, and Caillou, pockets for collateral printing, and a hand-made fabric pouch to reinforce branding and programming. Above is a video of a woman talking about and showing how the Sprout media kit works.

This is a brilliant idea, and I wish it was released to the public. The Sprout media kit was not only essential to Sprout fans, but also felt like a great way to introduce newcomers to Sprout - introducing them to a who's who of Sprout programming.

Now, if the Sprout media kit was available in stores and/or online, I would've definitely bought it. The idea of having one sounded(sounds?) fun and pretty cool!
