Sprout a Sandy Story was a series of sand art segments on The Good Night Show, added in 2011's fourth season with The You and Me Tree, replacing the craft segments as the "making something" segment on the show. In these segments, Nina and Star would tell stories about the episode's theme using sand art, with both giving characters names and providing the voices. The segment also got its own app, as well as an online game on SproutOnline.com.
