Production notes

A lush series about Miss Spider, her family, and a world filled with bugs of all shapes, sizes and colors. The series encourages kids to appreciate the differences in others and promotes acceptance as it takes pre-schoolers on pint-sized adventures in a big-little bug world. Home to Bounce, Squirt, Shimmer and Dragon, in addition to a fascinating assortment of hoppers, flyers and creepy crawlers, Sunny Patch is a whimsical, miniature land of delight that is a metaphor for a child's world. Filled with natural splendor and new buggy friends, the show allows young children to get in touch with their own "inner bug."

3D CGI animation.

Based on the best-selling book series by David Kirk.

In addition to their pro-social storylines, the episodes also include lessons in "backyard biology." The educational objectives of the program are to help children learn the value of being part of a loving, supportive family, and understand the role of family and friends as they begin to engage in new personal and social experiences beyond the home.
