Treehouse

From Seed to Flower is a short children’s episode that slots into the whimsical “Squiggle & Friends” series. The trio – Squiggle, the ever‑curious doodle‑shaped hero; Fluff, the soft‑spoken sidekick; and Nok‑nok, the cheeky critter with a penchant for mischief – stumble across an abandoned plant pot perched in their tree‑house loft. The set‑up feels a lot like a cosy version of the early “Magic School Bus” adventures, with bright colours, gentle humour and a dash of DIY charm. The episode follows the gang as they decide the pot would look proper with a flower, prompting Squiggle to take on the role of budding gardener. He’s handed a seed, learns about watering, sunlight and patience, and we watch the whole process unfold in miniature time‑lapse. Along the way, Fluff and Nok‑nok provide comic relief, turning the simple act of planting into a series of slap‑stick mishaps. The story never veers into heavy drama – it’s all about curiosity, teamwork and the tiny triumph of seeing a sprout push through soil. Honestly, it’s a mixed bag. The pacing does drag a bit in the middle, and the stop‑motion effects look a tad ropy by today’s standards, but the episode’s heart is solid. Kids will love the colourful visuals and the gentle lesson, while adults might appreciate the nostalgic feel of 90s‑era children’s TV. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s surprisingly good at keeping the youngest viewers engaged without shouting at them. Rated PG – there’s no scary content, just a few mild moments of disappointment when the seed doesn’t sprout straight away, which could be a bit upsetting for very sensitive tots. First terrestrial showing on CBBC this weekend, so it’s a fresh pick for a lazy Sunday morning. If you’re after a light, feel‑good slot for the little ones, give it a go.
