ZIP and the TINY SPROUTS

Zip and the Tiny Sprouts is a 52×7 imaginative and heartfelt preschool series about four friends Zip, Aria, Riff, and Hum, who live deep in the forest in a place called, Harmony Hollow. Every episode, our four friends learn important life lessons, growing and glowing through observation, curiosity, adventure, and discovery. Honoured to take home the Best Digital Series Award at the 2025 Kidscreen Awards, Zip and the Tiny Sprouts initially launched on digital platforms gathering over 600,000 subscribers and over 6 million views in a few short months. 

The Tiny Sprouts curriculum has been developed to help build children’s emotional and social intelligence with a new lesson every episode. From practicing patience, making friends, dealing with emotions, respecting nature, and so many more! The series pairs this curriculum with a strong music focus featuring a new catchy original song with every episode that helps our Sprouts overcome their obstacles and learn the lesson of the day.

Proudly a Queensland, Australia production, the series represents the launch of Fade In Studio’s 2D animation division, K Love You Bye. Working in collaboration with our client, Tiny Souls, Fade In Studio and K Love You Bye have produced the series through every stage from early development to final delivery. 

Created by Shadi Toloui-Wallace, written and directed by Peter Johnston, with animation director Christopher Bennett (BLUEY). Airing on YouTube Kids, the 52 episodes will be released throughout 2024 and into 2025.
