VTV launches 'Tween Garden': A new playground for children aged 8-12.
The new version of "Little Flowers," aimed at ages 8-12, airs at 6:50 PM on VTV3, offering educational entertainment through real-life challenges.
Vietnam Television (VTV) has officially launched a new children's program called "Little Flowers - Tween Garden," scheduled to air from November 2025. This is a modern version, inheriting the spirit of the familiar "Little Flowers" program, specially designed for viewers aged 8 to 12, also known as the "tween" age group.
The program will be broadcast daily at 6:50 PM on VTV3, offering a healthy educational entertainment space focused on developing seven essential life skills for children in the 21st century.
Healthy entertainment spaces in the digital age
In a context where children are exposed to a lot of short, shallow entertainment content on digital platforms, "Tween Garden" was created as a quality alternative. Each episode is 5 minutes long, produced in an unscripted reality TV format, allowing children to experience situations naturally.
The program features teenage participants, along with special guests, KOLs, and experts to create a close and positive interactive environment. Journalist Nhat Hoa, Deputy Head of the Science and Education Special Programs Department - Vietnam Television, said the program's goal is to connect with children in their own language, thereby nurturing "seeds of kindness" naturally.
7 days of experience with 7 life skills
Each day of the week, "Tween Garden" will focus on a different theme, helping children learn through hands-on, experiential activities:
- Monday - Creative Corner:Unleash artistic creativity and green ideas.
- Tuesday - Tweens speak out:This forum allows children to express their opinions and learn how to communicate confidently.
- Wednesday - Physical Challenge:Physical activities and team games.
- Thursday - Science Exploration:Fun experiments and applications of science in everyday life.
- Friday - Friends around us:Cultivate compassion and empathy.
- Saturday - Music & Dance Challenge:Develop self-confidence and artistic appreciation.
- Sunday - Let's Get Cooking Challenge:Learn self-reliance skills and knowledge about nutrition.
This approach not only imparts knowledge but also helps children develop critical thinking, life skills, and connect with traditional Vietnamese cultural values.
A multi-platform ecosystem that spreads positive values.
"Tween Garden" is not limited to television broadcasts but has also developed into a digital content ecosystem. Short versions, behind-the-scenes videos, and extended content will be posted on VTVgo, YouTube, TikTok, and Facebook platforms.
In addition, the production team plans to organize interactive activities such as minigames, online challenges, and a series of events at schools. The goal is to create a bridge between schools, families, and the community, encouraging parents to support their children's growth and build positive television viewing habits.
