WeeSchool

**WeeSchool**, a similar series to Baby Einstein, is a baby brand created by Julie Aigner-Clark.

Originally created in 2013 as BabyBytes, it started with an app called Puppet Play, in which a cast of puppet characters called The Birds of a Feather Troupe would participate in a selection of puppet shows (i.e. playing with a balloon, blowing a pinwheel, or of course, sneezing). The puppets were built by Cindi Herlemann, in a similar texture to the Legends and Lore puppets.

The puppets in Puppet Play were birds and they included The Bantam of the Opera; a rooster based on The Phantom of the Opera, Ludwig van Beakhoven; a rooster based on Ludwig van Beethoven, Leonardo da Finchi; a finch based on Leonardo da Vinci, Jane Aust-Hen; a chicken based on Jane Austen, Emily Chickenson; a chicken based on Emily Dickinson, Marco Pollo; a rooster based on Marco Polo, Charles Darwing; an albatross based on Charles Darwin and Sir Isaac Hooton, an owl based on Sir Isaac Newton. There is also an additional character named Charles Chickens, a rooster based on Charles Dickens and a father of two baby chicks named Dora and Eddie. All of the bird puppets were based on classical composers, artists, writers and poets and they would later appear in the later WeeSchool videos.

In 2016, the WeeSchool app was created as a Mobile app and a YouTube channel. It contained a collection of WeeTube videos, WeeTunes music, and WeeBooks books. The company's videos included "Classical Toys"; a compilation of classical music playing over footage of toys, "Sweet Dreams"; a compilation of soothing and calming images and music, "MacDonald's Farm"; a video about farm animals and "WeeSea"; a video about marine nature and animals. Its music albums included "Dreams Suite", "Bath Suite", "Play Suite", and "Song Book". The books included "Birds and Words", "Goodnight, Farm", "Yawn", "Listen", "Baby Faces", "Dogs in Disguise", Beautiful Earth" and "WeeSea Colors".

In 2019, the app added a new feature called "WeeWords", a selection of flashcards that teach about words.

As of 2020, WeeSchool is currently a feature on "ParentPal", an app by Teaching Strategies.
