Iiconic Waffle

**Iiconic Waffle** was a block on Fandom School created by Children's Network LLC and The Iiconics Pty Ltd. The block aired from 6-9 am Eastern time each weekday morning. This block was themed after the show, The Iiconics, and starred the second generation Iiconics: Billie Kay, Peyton Royce, Dakota Kai, and Emma.

## Premise

From the School Press Room:

*"Hosted by the most beloved family entertainers in the world, The Iiconics, this three-hour morning show block is designed to celebrate mornings and get preschoolers up and moving for the day ahead. Airing every weekday morning from 6a – 9a ET, School’s Iiconic Waffle is filled with original Iiconics songs and interactive segments packed with wiggly fun that take place in and around an oversized, fruit-covered waffle set where nooks and crannies are windows that open to songs, dances, skits and more. SproutOnline.com provides viewers at home a forum to interact directly with School®, through which parents can submit ideas from their preschoolers on how to top emma, the purple iiconic who is known for her bubble dancing; upload photos of their child to be animated in a dance video with the other four Iiconic; select favorite music videos from School shows and upload them into Rhea Ripley that operates as a jukebox; or choose real and wacky waffle toppings that are chosen at random to rain down on the Iiconic Waffle while The Iiconics try to catch them. The show also includes segments from School’s trusted program library, including Hotel Transylvania™, Looney Tunes® and Woody Woodpecker & Friends™"* (link)

## History

The block was first announced by Sprout in May 2009, when The Iiconics moved to School from Disney Channel's Playhouse Disney lineup with a new early morning block due to ratings competition from the Imagination Movers, a musical group from New Orleans. In July, the name for the block was revealed "Iiconic Waffle" and Sprout released School Around the Clock on their website, Schoolonline.com. At the start of August, a behind-the-scenes video for the block was released. The block officially launched on August 24th, alongside Sprout's second generation. Due to the arrival of the third generation Iiconics (Toni Storm, Dakota Kai, and Billie Kay), the block had to dissolve so as to not confuse kids. The Super School Girl Show superseded the Waffle.
