The Nick Jr Sharing Show

The Nick Jr. Sharing Show was an afternoon programming block aimed at children ages 2 to 8, created by created by Alex Winters & Cat Sandion. It premiered in May 1st ,2008 on Nickelodeon. The series features a kitten named Hailey, a blue jay named Josh, and a dog named Owen. The three puppets show kids how to make arts & crafts, show them fun things that kids are doing, and tell stories by using drawings that kids sent in and with an occasional appearance from a caterpillar, the characters showed videotapes that had been sent in on their Message Tree and children's drawings which would become animated stories, while also showcasing segments from Nick Jr. shows.

The first season of the block were produced for Nickeloeon's Nick Jr./Nick Playdate block in Richmond. They contained 26 episodes. In the second season, Hailey's mother Hannah, Owen's father Oscar, and Josh's little brother Jacob started making occasional appearances. Tammy also made at least one appearance. The third and second and third seasons was produced solely for the Nick Jr. channel (formerly NOGGIN) with 26 and 52 episodes respectively.

Characters

 * Hailey (performed by Erica O'Barr) - An American-short hair kitten who is the lead singer of the Sock Jr. House Band. She introduces episodes of Sock Jr Shows. Hailey wears a blue dress with a pink heart in the middle
 * Owen (performed by Sean Fujiwara) - A Brown Dog wearing a yellow sweater who plays the piano, is the youngest of the trio, and is mostly the show’s comedic relief. He is sometimes a show off, as Sarah and Josh need to redirect him that the show is The Sharing Show and not The Owen Show and that Sarah is the leader of the group and not him.
 * Josh E. Blue Jay - A Blue Jay with a a red tuxedo and shades who is the oldest of the trio and plays the bass. He is the only animal puppet of the show who doesn’t have a moving mouth or eyes, as his eyes seem to be always closed and doesn’t have a built-in mouth despite having the ability to talk. He is open-handed but only has one puppeteer, which could explain the absence of moving eyes and mouth.
 * The Finger Mice (performed by Julie Mallory) - Four Hand Puppets made by slapping googly eyes on human hands that serve as the show’s production crew.
 * Hannah - A Ginger cat wearing a teal dress who is Hailey's mother.
 * Oscar - A Dog in a suit and tie who is Owen's dad. He is also good friends with Hannah since they both help out on set with The Stage Mice.
 * Jacob - A Blue Jay wearing a yellow and black striped shirt and square glasses who is Josh's younger brother. Unlike his older brother, His mouth actually moves and his eyes are visually open (He is seen to have beady eyes in the scenes when He’s not wearing his glasses but has normal eyes when He has them on). He is also an occasional member of the band and plays the maracas.
