Introducing Surf Soup – Books and Cartoon Adventures for Kids

Surf Soup is a beloved children’s book series and cartoon show that sparks creativity, exploration, and learning. Follow Koa and his friends as they embark on thrilling adventures around the island, discovering the power of imagination and the wonders of the ocean.

Surf Soup TV – Imagination Meets Learning

In Surf Soup TV, Koa and his friends stumble upon a television on Plastic Island, a magical place filled with items collected from around the world. This imaginative setting teaches children about ocean conservation and plastic pollution in a fun and engaging way. When Koa puts the TV on his head, it becomes an “antenna for imagination,” inspiring a show that combines real-life footage with kids’ cartoons.

Adventures Around the World with Holo Holo

Koa and his friends travel in Holo Holo, the flying surf van, on exciting field trips around the globe. Back in Auntie Donna's animation studio, they create their show, learning lessons in creativity, teamwork, and environmental awareness along the way.

Learning Through STEAM and SEL

Surf Soup TV incorporates important themes of S.T.E.A.M. (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, Math) and S.E.L. (Social Emotional Learning). With guidance from Auntie Donna and Prana the Piranha, who teaches yoga, fitness, nutrition, and mindfulness, children gain valuable skills for life while having fun.

The Surf Soup Book Series

The accompanying Surf Soup book series features unique adventures in every story. Each book emphasizes friendship, teamwork, and environmental awareness, giving kids hands-on ways to engage with lessons. Children can follow along with sketchbooks and journals, and some of their own cartoons and drawings may even appear at the end of the books.

Inspire Creativity and Lifelong Learning

With its colorful illustrations, engaging stories, and educational themes, Surf Soup and Surf Soup TV are the perfect tools to ignite curiosity, inspire creativity, and promote lifelong learning for children everywhere.
