Nuts and Bolts

Nuts and Bolts is an American children's animated television series created by The Kiddie Channel. The series originally used stop-motion in the first two seasons, but later used CGI animation starting with seasons 3 and 4.

Plot
The show centers on the activities of Nuts, a problem solving girl, and her younger brother Bolts (who both looked as though they were made of craft supplies). They live in a dollhouse on a suspended platform with their unseen parents. The show follows a fairly linear formula. In each episode, Nuts and Bolts try to find something to do. When they find something, they discover that they need other items and go to find them. They also love to make stuff, imagine extraordinary adventures, and engineering in their home only known as the "Town of Fine Arts". Regardless of whether or not Nuts and Bolts save the day, they always take credit and celebrate their success by going out to play. Likewise, there are a number of other constants that follow through the series, often under contrived circumstances.

Production
The show was created by Gwendoler Bellingham and Cassidy Campbell. In later seasons, the titular siblings (now joined by newcomer characters) deal with engineering, finding lost items, and other building tasks around the Town of Fine Arts. Unlike the previous two seasons, the third and fourth seasons are animated in full CGI animation, which allows for larger and more elaborate projects that would be too large or expensive for the model sets of the stop-motion seasons, though the show still retains the theme song. In early 2023, the entire series was added to Kiddie Plus. In October 2022, co-creator Bellingham would return to The Kiddie Channel to produce another preschool puppetry series, Paper and Pencils.
