Kiri and Lou
A warm, handcrafted stop-motion series from New Zealand following two prehistoric best friends, Kiri and Lou, as they play, sing, and gently work through big feelings together in a paper-cut forest. Every five-minute episode wraps a small emotional lesson — sharing, apologising, managing big moods — inside songs, silliness, and genuine sweetness.
A wonderful everyday watch for children roughly 2 to 6, and cosy enough that grown-ups tend to enjoy it right alongside them.
Episodes to know about
Lou wakes up alone on a lily pad in the middle of a lake and feels scared at first, but his 'Calm Inner Voice' helps him through it — a lovely moment to talk about with little ones who experience worry.
Kiri feels left out when Lou plays with a new friend, Sorry — a very relatable feeling for toddlers and a great episode to watch together if your child is navigating friendship jealousy.
