All for Kids is a 30-minute preschool TV program created by Media Farm and commissioned by the Seven Network. The international distribution of the first series was overseen by Southern Star Group, whereas Talefinn Entertainment and Media Farm managed distribution for the second series.
The premiere episode was broadcast on the Seven Network on 10 November 2008, with a total of 40 episodes produced. The show features young presenters between six and eight years old, including hosts Karl and Keira, chef Lindsay, gardener Madi, craft specialist Christian, and scientist Jameson. Additional appearances include guests like Sophie Hensler and Bronte Hodson. The format involves engaging children by showcasing activities such as cooking, gardening, science experiments, and crafts from the viewpoint of young presenters, promoting interactive participation between parents and children.
Musician and songwriter Mark Travers contributes by teaching the alphabet through songs accompanied by animation.
The initial series was filmed using Panasonic P2 HD cameras with handheld techniques to create an informal, home-like atmosphere. In contrast, Series 2 utilized steadicam technology to achieve smoother camera movements. The production prioritizes genuine performances from children rather than flawless visual composition.
Key production personnel include Producer Jason Critelli, Producer/Director Phillip Tanner, Director Rami Fischler, cinematographers John Brock and Nate Martin, as well as writers Phillip Tanner, George Dodd, Lyndon Barnett, Fiona Campbell, and Leone Carey.
All for Kids is a continuation of previous projects by Phillip Tanner and Jason Critelli such as Cooking For Kids with Luis and Gardening for Kids with Madi, which were formerly aired on Nickelodeon (Australia). Additionally, segments from the series were adapted into short interstitials for Nick Jr. Australia, including titles like Gardening for Kids with Madi, Make This for Kids with Christian, Science for Kids with Jameson, and Cooking for Kids with Lindsay.
