Make a Kids Show

Learn how great kids' shows are made..and make yours!


Create and develop your own original kids' show with Angela Santomero, creator/co-creator of Blue's Clues, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood and Super Why!

Angela has spent more than 30 years turning big ideas into beloved childrens' shows and brands. Now she's sharing the creative process she uses to take an idea from it's first spark to a purposeful, original, fully developed show that's ready to pitch.  

Start Making Your Show
You have an idea. I'll show you how to turn it into a show.

 

Maybe it's a character you can't stop thinking about. A world you wish existed when you were a kid. A story your own children or students keep asking you to tell. Or maybe you simply know you want to create something meaningful for kids..but you don't know where to begin.

That's exactly where Make a Kids Show begins.

I'll teach you how I develop ideas: starting with the child, finding the purpose, creating unforgettable characters and worlds, building a repeatable story engine and shaping it all into a show that people can understand, love and relate to.

 Hi, I’m Angela!

Mister Rogers was my mentor, and I want to be a mentor for you.


By creating 7 shows that have endured the test of time, I have had the privilege to prove that good content is good for kids - And now I want to share EVERYTHING I KNOW with YOU. Because kids deserve it.

Make a Kids Show master class featuring Angela Santomero’s proven methodologies

I know what it takes to turn an idea into a show kids love.


I’ve 
spent my career asking one question: What does a child need, with the assistance of media?

That question helped shape Blue's Clues, Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, Super Why and the other series I've created. I've developed shows from a blank page, researched them with kids, pitched them, re-written them, produced them, launched them and watched them grow into global brands.

Now I want to share that process with you.

Meet Angela

You don't have to go round and round in circles trying to come up with an idea that works.


I’ve 
finally decided to write down my process, secrets, and methodology on how to make a kids show that I’ve used for shows I’ve had aired on NETFLIX, NICKELODEON, PBS KIDS, AMAZON STUDIOS and APPLE TV+

I’m excited to share my method for kids’ show concept development with you.
