Darwin and Newts is an adventure show for curious kids who love to figure out how stuff works!
Made for a target audience of children 3-6 years old, encouraging exploration, discovery, adventure and science. We travelled New Zealand visiting an array of preschools and kindergartens, as well as carrying out parent surveys and the results motivated us to make a show for children that would increase awareness and understanding of early learning science concepts and encourage outdoor play.
Darwin and Newts are brother and sister who, through their fantastic escapades, discover and experiment with early learning science and engineering principles, while exploring the natural wonders of their incredible home in New Zealand. Joining the siblings is their friendly neighbour Hēni and her cheeky pet Kea, Wapiti the big wise deer and what show would be complete without a grumpy frog called Burpee and his girlfriend Croakette!
Outdoor play, hands on experimentation and FUN are at the forefront as Darwin and Newts use their trike, zipline and waka to navigate their world, as they face each new challenge with imagination, perseverance and lots and lots of giggles.
With a Play+Learn companion App, discover Darwin and Newts's treehouse and backyard with games inspired by the show.
