This week, Sprout, is launching their NEW original animated series Astroblast! on Saturday, July 12th at 10:00 AM PST and in late July the show will host a FREE "Astroblast! Space Camp Tour," in the Glendale area for fans. 

THE SHOW
Based on the Scholastic book series of the same name by author and illustrator Bob Kolar, the show takes preschoolers and their parents on hilarious adventures through outer space. Run by a cast of animal characters including Comet, Halley, Sputnik, Radar, Jet and Sal the Octopus, the Astroblast Space Station is the coolest hangout in the galaxy. Through the crew's friendship, the series imparts important messages about how to embrace differences, model positive relationships and foster healthy habits to be the best good-will ambassadors in the galaxy. 

Astroblast! takes off on Saturday, July 12 at 10:00 AM PST during The Sunny Side Up Show and again at 5:00 pm PST during The Good Night Show on Sprout, and will air seven days a week. Additionally, two episodes of Astroblast! will be available on demand beginning July 1.

JOIN THE FUN AT A FREE SPACE CAMP
In advance of the series premiere, Sprout is hitting the road with the "Astroblast! Space Camp Tour," bringing the world of Astroblast! to kids and families across the country.  The tour will offer children and their families the opportunity to participate in an interactive space experience in the spirit of the series.

Complete with a Zero Gravity Station, Bungee Bounce and Moon Bounce House, the Astroblast! Space Camp will immerse kids in the Astroblast! universe at each tour stop. Additionally, kids can engage in meaningful play at the Space Challenge Activities Center, which includes a Moon Sand Creative Play Zone, Custom Worm Holes and Shooting Star Toss. A digital photo station with social sharing will help children and their parents commemorate the event and provide a shareable souvenir of their visit to outer space with the Astroblast! crew.

Free and open to the public, the tour will touch down in Glendale (The Americana at Brand, 889 Americana Way, Glendale, CA 91210) on Saturday, July 26 from 10am to 4pm and the event is FREE!
