About Pins And Nettie

The hedgehog characters are gentle and joyful, offering a safe environment for young kids to explore their feelings and empower them to learn about their emotions.

Lindsey and the Daily Madness team wanted to do what they could to help bring the tiniest moment of joy to families everywhere.

Pins and Nettie are now also practising self-isolation… and instead of going on their normal adventures, they are staying at home, and finding ways to have fun indoors and in their front garden only.

Alongside learning new activities to play at home, the mini animated series started with a special episode called ‘Together and Safe’.

Pins and Nettie are feeling sad and mad about the current Stay Home orders. But with help from their friend the Narrator, they learn a useful breathing exercise that will help these little hedgehogs deal with their big emotions.

Tune in every Friday for future episodes. The animated series is free to everyone who has access to YouTube – there is no territory block and no subscription fees. The videos will also be loaded on the safe kid’s section of YouTube.

Find out more and watch upcoming episodes on the Pins and Nettie YouTube channel.
