tumbleleafAmazon Studios has long been releasing original TV content for adults, but now the kids will have something to watch, too.

Amazon today announced its scheduled rollout for three new original TV shows directed at preschool children. Two animated shows, Tumble Leaf and Creative Galaxy, will arrive on Amazon Instant Video on May 23 and June 27, respectively. Annedroids, a live-action adventure series, will debut on July 25.

Amazon is only releasing the first six episodes of each series at once and will unveil additional episodes later on. You may recognize all three shows — they made the cut last May after Amazon had viewers vote on pilot episodes.

This is Amazon’s first attempt at creating original content for kids. The company, which signed a deal with Viacom last June to bring children’s TV content to Amazon Instant Video, has worked with Blue’s Clues director and producer Alice Wilder for the new programming.

“It’s been extremely exciting to partner with Amazon on developing the content and activities that will be available through Prime Instant Video,” Wilder said in a statement. “We share the belief that creativity and curiosity are muscles that need to be exercised, refined and nourished to provide children with the skills they need to succeed in today’s rapidly changing world.”

Amazon is also working on two other children’s shows that were approved in March: “Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street, and “Wishenpoof.

Here are descriptions of the three new shows:

Tumble Leaf (for preschool-aged children)

Tumble Leaf debuts May 23 and comes from Emmy Award-winning director Drew Hodges and award-winning studio Bix Pix Entertainment. The preschool aged show follows Fig the Fox and his best friend Stick as they discover adventure, friendship and love around every bend. Themes found in the show promote exploration and scientific thinking through play. The talent behind the characters includes Christopher Downs as “Fig” and “Stick,” Zak McDowell as “Hedge,” Addie Zintel as “Pine,” Brooke Wolloff as “Maple,” and Alex Trugman as “Ginkgo.”

Creative Galaxy (for preschool-aged children)

On June 27, Amazon Studios will introduce Creative Galaxy from acclaimed creator Angela Santomero and Out of the Blue (Super Why!, Blue’s Clues, Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood), and features Samantha Bee (The Daily Show), Christian Distefano, Jason Jones (The Daily Show), Cloris Leachman (Malcolm in the Middle), and Jason Priestley (Beverly Hills 90210). In this make-along, create-along, interactive art adventure series for preschoolers, characters Arty and Epiphany travel around the galaxy to solve problems with art, inspiring creative thinking through crafts, music and dance. To give kids and parents the real-life tools they need to re-create Arty’s experience, a live-action piece at the end of each animated episode will take viewers through the craft project that Arty showcased in the galaxy.

Annedroids (for children ages 4 to 7 years)

Annedroids, about a young scientist, will be available starting July 25. Created by Emmy-nominated JJ Johnson (Dino Dan) and Sinking Ship Entertainment, and aimed at children aged four through seven, Annedroids is a live-action adventure series about a young female genius, her human friends, android assistants and the amazing scientific discoveries they make while undertaking the biggest experiment of them all: growing up. Addison Holley (Daniel Tiger’s Neighborhood) stars as “Anne,” Adrianna Di Liello (Stage Fright) plays her friend “Shania,” and Jadiel Dowlin plays “Nick.”
