“Parents are increasingly looking for better options when it comes to children’s programming,” said Sabine H. Schoenberg. “SHG Explorers was created to provide content that is entertaining while also encouraging curiosity, creativity, healthy lifestyles, and a stronger connection to the world around us. We see this as an exciting alternative to much of the traditional kids programming landscape.”
Entertainment With Purpose
Rather than relying solely on fast-paced distraction, SHG Explorers focuses on storytelling and experiences that encourage children to engage with nature, explore new ideas, and imagine the possibilities of a smarter, healthier, and greener future.
The new lineup was developed around the belief that children’s media can inspire positive lifelong habits and interests — from gardening and environmental stewardship to innovation, outdoor exploration, and healthier living.
“Children are naturally curious,” Schoenberg added. “When we introduce them to meaningful ideas early in life, those experiences can shape how they care for themselves, their communities, and the planet for years to come.”
Introducing Farmer Nick & Mr Plant
One of the flagship launch titles is The Adventures of Farmer Nick & Plant, an engaging educational series created by Emmy Award-winning Plant Coach Nick Cutsumpas.
The series follows Farmer Nick and his companion Plant through playful adventures designed to help children learn about gardening, plants, and the natural world in fun and memorable ways. A companion workbook expands the experience through interactive activities and hands-on learning.
“Inspiring children to care about the environment begins by helping them build a relationship with nature,” said Cutsumpas. “This series is about making that connection fun, exciting, and approachable for kids and families everywhere.”
A Hopeful Future Through Storytelling
SHG Explorers also debuts the growing award-winning Future Chicken universe, a story world that uses humor and positivity to encourage an active connection with nature, and appreciation of the outdoors. Featuring Future Chicken and The Planet Protectors, SHG is launching with a variety of short video series including; Future Chicken Micro Mysteries, Future Chicken Lyric Videos, Friends of Future Chicken and The Future Chicken Today Show.
Produced by Wind Sun Sky Entertainment in partnership with the ClearWater Futures Foundation, the series introduces children ages 6–10 to environmental themes through humor, optimism, and imaginative storytelling.
“Children hear a lot about the challenges facing the world today,” said Catherine Winder, Future Chicken Co-Creator and CEO of Wind Sun Sky Entertainment. “We created Future Chicken to inspire kids to feel hopeful, spark curiosity, and show them that they have the power to make a meaningful difference in the future health of the planet!”
