Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go - Review and Giveaway

We'll start with the Disclaimer - Yes, I did receive early episodes for review, but this just means I'm able to giveaway a prize too! Enter the contest at the end of this post.




Over the last few months, we have been telling you about the new Knowledge Kids show Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go. It is headed to a digital screen near you on April 4, 2022 but we are able to catch a sneak peek of the upcoming episodes. This show is sure to be a hit for families with young ones.  This adorable animated series has lots of lessons, problem-solving processes and giggles galore! The show will appeal to a modern-day audience by showing teachable moments. The episodes had topics like best hygiene practices when you are sick, learning how to work together for a common goal and it even had an episode about self-regulation and belly breathing! Take a look at the trailer below to see what this series has in store.

Set in the forests, mountains, lakes and ocean near the fictional town of Eagle Creek, the series is inspired by the rugged, natural beauty of the Pacific West Coast. In each episode, the trio of enthusiastic helpers tackle problems in their town, but not before they experience some hilarious flops that require them to look for different ways of unlocking a solution. Our heroes remind young viewers that even though they might feel overwhelmed as they face challenges, looking at the problem in a different way and having the resilience to try again are the keys to unlocking solutions. 

We think Parents with Children aged 3-6 will really enjoy watching Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go together as a family.


Where to Find Luna, Chip and Inkie: Adventure Rangers Go
During the first three weeks of its release, there will be 15 episodes to watch (5 each week for the first 3 weeks of April) and then additional episodes will be added through the year. They will all stream for FREE on Knowledge Kids.ca making this show accessible to everyone with digital devices.
