Join our friends from WFYI to learn about their new show, Carl the Collector, premiering this month on PBS Kids! Perfect for children ages 3 and up and their families.
Children and families will see content from the new show, Carl the Collector, and do activities related to the show! Carl the Collector is PBS Kids' first series centering a main character with autism.
About the series: CARL THE COLLECTOR follows the everyday adventures of Carl, a warm-hearted autistic raccoon who enjoys collecting things and loves his friends and family in Fuzzytown. Carl pays extraordinarily close attention to detail and comes up with unique ideas that others might not consider. These traits have helped him amass his extensive collections—from autographs and bottle caps to fake mustaches, pet rocks, sweaters, and virtually everything in between—which can come in handy for solving problems around the neighborhood with his friends.
This program is made possible by WFYI and PBS Kids.
