Kioka
What's the Story?
KIOKA follows the adventures of an imaginative young girl and her animal friends who come to life when she shakes her magical snow globe and transports all of them into it. Together Kioka (voiced by Lexi Jourden) and her friends have fun, make new discoveries, and learn about their world and the things in it.
Is It Any Good?
With gently paced stories and simple animation, this series has the look and feel of a favorite picture book. Kioka's big imagination inspires the characters' experiences, which expose them to new sights, sounds, and emotions with mixed results that preschoolers will understand.
Much like Doc McStuffins and the magic she casts with a press of her stethoscope, Kioka delights in playing with her toy friends, and kids will embrace the idea that anything is possible with a bit of imagination. This sweet show emphasizes the value of curiosity, the excitement of discovery, and the joys of friendship.

Families can talk about the value of curiosity. How does asking questions and trying new things help us learn? Are new experiences exciting for you? Can they be worrisome, too?
Kids: What do you like to imagine when you play? Do you incorporate your own toys in your role playing?
Who are your kids' favorite TV and movie characters? Are they good role models? What can kids learn from their behavior? What did you learn from Kioka?
