It is an exciting time for PBS KIDS! From new episodes to classic favorites like Molly of Denali to a plethora of all new mini series City Island, there is no shortage of adventures to enjoy.
As a mom of 3 young children, there is one all-new series I am particularly excited about. Work It Out Wombats is a new animated series coming to PBS Utah on February 6th. It follows the adventures of a playful trio of siblings, Malik, Zeke, and Zadie through The Treeborhood and its diverse community of neighbors as they create, debug, fix, order, and test the world around them through play.
The show explores computational thinking concepts that will help young viewers solve problems and express themselves, skills vital to successfully navigating our own literal and metaphoric neighborhoods.

To keep up to date follow Work It Out Wombats on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, then be sure to explore the Treeborhood with Malik, Zeke, Zadie, and PBS Utah on February 6th.
