The weather is warming up and it’s time to get outside, but some kids need a little inspiration to get off the couch. PBS Kids is helping to sprout that idea in kids’ heads with a special “Explore the Outdoors” lineup featuring nature-themed episodes of kids’ favorite shows!
New episodes of Cyberchase will premiere back to back this Friday, April 29, starting at 7 p.m. ET. In the first episode, it’s Arbor Day in Cyberspace, a special day to plant a tree for a best friend, but Buzz is absorbed by his video game. Because of this, his best friend, Delete, is calling on the CyberSquad for help. Families will join the squad and the pair of cyborgs as they head out to the forest and use Buzz’s knowledge of trees learned from his video game to help Delete pick the perfect tree to plant in Buzz’s honor! Families will also learn about environmental topics like migration, water pollution, and invasive species in three additional Cyberchase episodes.
Four new episodes of Alma’s Way will premiere daily starting on Monday, May 2. Parents and kids can join the thoughtful 6-year-old Alma as her outdoor adventures with her friends continue in her Latino neighborhood in the Bronx!
A new episode of Nature Cat will premiere on May 9, followed by new episodes every day that week. The “Nature Dance Party/Bad Dog Bart Junior” episode will feature the the adventurous and gentlemanly Nature Cat and his gang as they discover the sounds of the woods to find the soundtrack for a Nature Dance Party. They will also track a scent on the wind to find a spot that holds a special memory, look for answers to why leaves fall, and embark on a wild river ride filled with rapids, floods, and dams.
