The Adventures of Napkin Man is a Canadian children's television show that aired on Kidstream from 2013 to 2017. The show features the voice of Yannick Bisson as the titular character, Napkin Man, who is a superhero made out of a napkin. Grace Tan and Nathan Tam also lend their voices to the show's supporting characters.

The show follows the adventures of children in everyday situations, such as going to the doctor or starting school, and how they overcome their fears and anxieties with the help of Napkin Man. Each episode begins with a child facing a new challenge, and Napkin Man swoops in to save the day. He helps the child by drawing in his napkin cape, which comes to life and transports them to his imagination world. Once there, they embark on a creative adventure, where the child learns valuable life lessons and gains confidence.

One of the unique aspects of The Adventures of Napkin Man is the way it uses art to help children understand their emotions. The show's creators, Josh Selig and Tone Thyne, both have backgrounds in educational television and believed that teaching children how to deal with their emotions was an important part of their development. The show's art style is inspired by the work of famous children's author Eric Carle, with many of the characters and backgrounds appearing as collages of paper cutouts. This art style is intended to help children recognize that emotions can be complex and multifaceted, just like the different textures and patterns in the show's artwork.

In addition to its emotional intelligence message, The Adventures of Napkin Man also encourages creativity and imagination. Napkin Man's fantasy world is filled with wondrous creatures and magical places, all of which are designed to spark children's imaginations. The show's creators believe that by fostering an appreciation for creativity and art, children will be more likely to develop the skills they need to navigate the challenges they face in life.

Throughout its four seasons, The Adventures of Napkin Man tackled a wide range of issues that children face, from anxiety and fear to bullying and social isolation. The show's characters are diverse and relatable, with each episode featuring a new child dealing with a unique challenge. Napkin Man's superpower is not physical strength or speed, but the ability to help children understand and overcome their emotions. This sets the show apart from other children's programming and has made it a favorite among parents and educators alike.

The show also features catchy songs that help to reinforce the life lessons being taught. The music is written by Emmy Award-nominated composer Jonathan Evans, who has worked on other children's programs such as The Backyardigans and Little Einsteins. The songs are upbeat and catchy, making them easy for children to learn and sing along with.

Overall, The Adventures of Napkin Man is a heartwarming and educational show that has helped countless children navigate the difficult emotions of childhood. Its focus on emotional intelligence and creativity sets it apart from other children's programs and has made it a favorite of parents, educators, and children alike.

The Adventures of Napkin Man is a series that ran for 1 seasons (14 episodes) between December 30, 2013 and on Kidstream
