Rosie from Everything’s Rosie
Rosie is the titular character of the animated children’s TV series, Everything’s Rosie. She is a ragdoll-esque child who goes on adventures with woodland animals. Viewers learn simple lessons with various stories in her colorful world. The headpiece requires some DIY with the materials featured here. Use tape or glue to secure strips of colorful ribbons to the headband, and place a large teal button in the middle. Complete the top by sewing two pink buttons vertically on the white t-shirt.
Carl Nargle from Paint
In Paint, Carl Nargle (Owen Wilson) is a soft-spoken artist teaching viewers how to paint on public television. His calming voice, majestic perm, and oil landscapes bring to mind beloved TV host Bob Ross of PBS’s The Joy of Painting fame.
Sarah from Sarah & Duck
In Sarah & Duck, we follow the adventures of Sarah, a kind, polite, but somewhat eccentric 7-year old girl, and her best friend Duck, a mallard who wishes to be a penguin. Together, they learn about friendship, imagination, and problem solving.
Bill Nye the Science Guy
Bill Nye the Science Guy was an educational TV show that taught scientific topics through a fun-filled, fast paced, and humorous way. The show did so well that it won 19 Emmy Awards during its run.
Bob Ross
Bob Ross is the lovable personality who brought the joy of painting to millions. On his public television show, he taught us how to use oil paints to create happy little clouds, happy little trees, and other happy little accidents. He often brought squirrels and other little rascals on the set.
Mister Rogers
Mister Rogers was our friendliest neighbor. He taught us something new everyday, but before he got started, he never failed to zip up his cardigan sweater and change into comfortable Keds while singing a song.
