Fun Freetime: Hellosaurus

Hellosaurus, a brand new interactive children’s video startup for ages 3 to 8, announces the debut of its first show, The Birthday Show. Hosted by Grammy winning, Emmy nominated children’s musician and television host Tim Kubart, The Birthday Show is free to play on tablets, computers, and phones at www.thebirthday.show (also at www.hellosaurus.com). Everyone is invited to join the party, available anytime and streaming every day live at 12:00 PM ET, 9:00 AM PT.

One of the biggest disappointments for kids in the era of coronavirus is canceled birthday parties. Kids love having and attending birthday parties. Imagine turning six and having your party canceled!
Hellosaurus wants to give kids a way to not just celebrate but also participate in free virtual parties with The Birthday Show.

And because Hellosaurus develops shows kids can play with rather than just watch, The Birthday Show has interactive moments throughout each episode, so kids at home can play classic party games like piñata and treasure hunt, blow out candles, “eat” the cake, and unwrap a present, all on a touchscreen phone, tablet, or computer.

Each episode features a “Who’s That?” segment with a performance or how-to from a guest star — musicians, breakdancers, puppeteers, inventors, comedians — and shoutouts to real kids celebrating their birthdays. Children can also participate by creating a video present for The Birthday Show featuring their creative skills like choreography, poetry, or crafting, and it might end up in the show’s “Present-ation” segment. Parents can Request a "Shoutout" and help their kids "Share a Present," as well as sign up for show notifications, at www.thebirthday.show.

The Hellosaurus team bridges content and software, staffed with people who’ve helped bring to life HQ Trivia, Toca Boca, Peekaboo Barn, Postmodern Jukebox, Sunny Side Up, and Jetsetter. Originally planned as a future production, Hellosaurus accelerated development of The Birthday Show and an early version of the company’s interactive platform in order to release the show while many families are sheltering at home, helping fill the need for enriching, interactive content for kids.
