The announcement was jointly made by eebee’s adventures co-founders, child development and creative play experts, Stephen Gass and Don Burton.

On Comcast ,Cox and Bresnan, eebee’s adventures is available to all digital customers and can found on their “Baby Boost” offering of shows that are specifically geared to the 0-2 set.
“The viewer response to eebee’s adventures has been phenomenal as we’ve gained a strong loyal following to our playful “back to basics” approach,” said Gass. “By encouraging simple and playful parent/child interaction, and providing creative ideas, the "adventures" have become catalysts for real-world play and our eebee fan club has grown exponentially. Eebee’s popularity has even translated to our new toy line, which was sold out in less than two weeks at FAO!”
Lauded by the industry and press for its “un-Baby Einstein” approach, each new adventure features “eebee”, the only character ever developed specifically for the infant/toddler market, real babies and real grown-ups actively engaged in rich and varied real-world exploration and play. The seven new adventures include two water play adventures, “Fountain of Ideas” and “Glass Half Full”; two music and sound adventures, “The Sounds of Music” and “Kitchen Band”, in addition to the debut of "eebee's Songbooks” which encompasses three eebee-music only specials. Each Songbook includes 6 songs or musical activities around a theme: On The Move, songs and games for active toddlers including the favorite "eebee's beat" segments; Splash & Sing, songs from the latest water and music play adventures; and Discovery Songs, songs all about everyday explorations.
Based on the strong response to the original songs in the first season of adventures, each new adventures also features an original song, representing a range of musical genres including rock, jazz and R&B. These new songs were also designed for a "dual audience: engaging for babies and appealing for parents.
The Every Baby Company was founded in 2004 with a simple, yet essential mission to be a catalyst for rich play experiences. It began with the award-winning and critically acclaimed eebee’s adventures, an innovative, character-based DVD series, for infants and toddlers.
