Zodiak Kids announces that hit pre-school programme Mister Maker’s Arty Party has been sold into Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Poland and Asia.  The seventh series for the Mister Maker brand has been acquired by ABC Australia, BBC worldwide (Africa, Asia, Poland) and Discovery Networks Asia-Pacific (Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Maldives, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka).

Produced by Zodiak Kids Studios for CBeebies, Mister Maker’s Arty Party (26 x 19’) has performed exceptionally well for CBeebies, significantly outperforming the benchmark and peaking at a 55% audience share for its target audience of 4-6 year-olds.

The collective series (163 episodes) have sold in over 200 territories worldwide. Set in Mister Maker’s Arty Pad this series feels like a ‘live event’ with the focus of the show on the interaction with the Mini Makers. For the first time, the Mini Makers are at the centre of the art being created. Each show has a theme running through it which is revealed at the beginning of the episode. All the Mini Makers make suggestions for makes based on this theme and they are central throughout the makes.

Mister Maker also invites surprise guests to the party who link with the theme of the party either through the art they produce or maybe the materials they use. The series covers everything creative – not just arts & crafts for the ultimate celebration of arts. Zodiak Kids own worldwide distribution and licensing rights to Mister Maker.
