 Twinklenauts

Space cartoons for kids ages 4-8! Learn the solar system and the 8 planets in order, moon phases, how rockets work, day and night, and what a comet is.

Twinklenauts are Nia, a brave young astronaut, Pip, a funny robot buddy, and Zuzu, a baby comet. Each 5-6 minute episode answers a big question kids ask with a story, facts checked against NASA sources, questions to answer aloud and a movement game.

For families: watch together and pause at each question so your child can answer. Each episode has an idea to try with a grown-up, like drawing the Moon or making day and night with a flashlight. Never look right at the Sun!

For teachers: use an episode as a science starter or a movement break in preschool, kindergarten and early grades. Playlists keep each topic in order.

Original animation, music and stories. Character voices are synthesized. Independent channel, not affiliated with NASA.

Grown-ups: subscribe to find new episodes in your Subscriptions feed.
