Discovery Kids invites children to explore an animated world through an interactive screen

The cable TV channel Discovery Kids uses interactivity to offer its little viewers a journey through four different animated worlds in a new cartoon series called 'Iconicles’ (Iconic).

Given the increasingly diversified programming dedicated to children's audiences, Discovery Kids Channel, an American cable television channel with programming focused on educational topics for children, has launched the new program 'Icónico', that invites the little ones in the house to take a fun journey of exploration and discovery of the world of cartoons.

The program allows children to explore four different worlds: the wild jungle, the farm, the garden and the seashore, and meet the characters that inhabit them. This trip is in charge of “Nat” (Gavin Stenhouse), a young explorer who has discovered the “Iconics” thanks to a surprising interactive screen that with a gentle movement of the hand transports him to any of these worlds.

Besides, His invention also allows animated characters to escape the screen to play, running around and having fun with the children in the company of characters like “Ardi”, an energetic and reckless squirrel, who loves to collect things; “Rocky”, a rhinoceros, who is a little grumpy from time to time; polar bears, “Splish” and “Splash”, twin brothers who always want to be in the middle of the action, and “Doña Mú”, a cow that sticks strictly to the rules and keeps everything in perfect order.

The series uses this interactive instrument to encourage children to play using their imagination., learn to interact with others, organize and clarify thoughts and feelings, and develop self-confidence to carry out new activities.
