HobbyKids Adventures
What's the Story?
HOBBY KIDS' ADVENTURES is based on the real-life family from the popular YouTube channel, HobbyFamilyTV. In the animated series, siblings HobbyBear, HobbyFrog, and HobbyPig are constantly finding themselves in trouble, sometimes due to disobeying Mom and Dad and sometimes due to the scheming of their archenemies, The SlobbyKids. Will the science-loving trio be able to create the perfect inventions to solve their problems?
Is It Any Good?
With an animation style and sense of humor reminiscent of a kinder, softer Captain Underpants, this animated series is sure to be a hit for younger elementary-aged viewers. HobbyKids Adventures cleverly incorporates elements of STEM education in a silly and natural way, with the siblings using made-on-the-fly inventions to solve all kinds of problems. Each episode is made up of a series of story vignettes, and the tone of each is decidedly frenetic, with the characters often finding themselves in blink-or-you'll-miss it situations of peril that resolve almost as soon as they begin. Young viewers will love the relatable way science is included into the series as well as the never-ending gags and parents can rest easy that the goofiness will remain age-appropriate.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
Families can talk about how the HobbyKids are often in danger. Does this feel scary to you? Do you think you'd feel differently if this wasn't a cartoon? Why or why not?
The HobbyKids love inventing new things to solve their problems. Is there a small problem you have that you could think of a way to improve? What kind of invention might help? What could you use to build it?
Do the HobbyKids care about each other? How can you tell? Do they use words, actions, or both to display their feelings?
How do the HobbyKids display teamwork? Why is this an important life skill?
