Sprout Reel (2009)

This is a list of "box bumpers" that aired on Sprout from September 21, 2009 to 2015, to coincide with the channel's rebrand. These idents had both Sproutlets and Grown-Up Sprouts doing a typical preschool activity with a cardboard shoebox right by them. The bumpers were mostly produced and directed by a company called Vault Filmworks and wrote, directed, and produced by Emily Crowley.
