Synopsis
Cody knows that everything starts with a plan — and that plans don't always hold. Broadcasting from the Helpsters shop, she and her fellow puppet monsters share creative ideas and strategies for adapting when things go sideways. These short episodes, built around a fully puppet-led cast, were made to offer emotional grounding to kids and families navigating uncertain times.
