The art tools brand Crayola has launched a new season of its digital-first Scribble Scrubbie Pets series, produced by the digital media company WildBrain Spark. The Crayola Kingdom channel is managed globally by WildBrain Spark across YouTube and YouTube Kids and is home to the Scribble Scrubbie Pets series and all Crayola kid-targeted content.

The new season of 20 three-minute animations and 20 one-minute draw-along episodes launched on the Crayola Kingdom YouTube channel this month with new episodes released weekly. Designed to appeal to children aged five to eight, the content is part of Crayola’s strategy to bring physical play and entertainment together, reaching Generation Alpha on their preferred platforms.​​

Based on the popular Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets creative toy range, the digital series was developed to engage kids through animation, real play, and drawing. The content is focused on what kids love most about the toy line – bringing their imaginations to life through colour and design transformations of washable toy pets.

Using WildBrain Spark’s data from the first season of the series, the new content brings the most popular characters further into the spotlight including Makena (the bird), Tuma (the elephant) and Scooter (the dog). The new season homes in on live action arts and crafts, which is an increasingly popular theme on the platform. 

“Through the Crayola Kingdom channel, children can build an even stronger emotional connection to the Crayola Scribble Scrubbie Pets characters as they watch them come to life on the screen and learn to draw their favorites”
