A note for parents

Sprout & Bun is made for little ones to watch with a grown-up. We keep things slow and simple on purpose:

  • Calm pacing. Soft colors, gentle music, no loud surprises and no fast cuts.
  • One routine, five words. Each word is shown with a picture, said slowly and repeated, with time to try.
  • No pressure on kids. We never ask children to click, buy, subscribe or ask a grown-up for anything. Printables and links are for parents.
  • No data from kids. This website has no ads, cookies, analytics or trackers, and it never asks for anyone’s information.

Our videos are published on YouTube as Made for Kids, so YouTube’s children’s privacy settings apply there.
