In the Box was a half-hour educational program designed for preschoolers, broadcast in Australia on Network Ten every weekday morning from 8:30 to 9:00. The series debuted on 21 December 1998 and ran until 2006. Its final lineup of presenters included Brett Annable, Tracey Fleming, Michael McKenna, alongside Bop, a puppet character featured regularly.
Each episode followed a structured format that began with a 'delivery' segment where the hosts received a box containing materials for an interactive activity. The show also welcomed two children during each broadcast and concluded with a farewell song. Common episode themes involved topics like baking or exploring time travel.
Throughout the program, the presenters and Bop engaged viewers by performing songs such as Simon Says, Follow the Leader, and Washy Washy, encouraging active participation from the young audience.
