Ready, Set, Hike! Tots Take Over The Staduim For The ENFAGROW® TODDLER BOWL Premiering On TLC, Discovery Life Channel And Discovery Family Channel

Tighten up those diapers and toss the pacifier, because it’s game time! Offering an adorable alternative to game-day programming that features America’s cutest little future quarterbacks and fans, TLC, Discovery Life Channel and presenting sponsor Mead Johnson unveil the ENFAGROW™ TODDLER BOWL, premiering on both networks Sunday, February 1 at 12 PM ET and encoring at 2 PM ET on Discovery Family Channel. ENFAGROW TODDLER BOWL follows a field of talented tots ages 1to3 as they go diaper to diaper in a series of physical challenges and brain-boosting games that represent crucial learning and growth developmental stages for toddlers. Host and YouTube sensation Clintus McGintus will act as referee, guiding the tiny tykes through their various contests.

“Families have long been at the heart of TLC, and few things bring them together like the Big Game.  Now, TLC is getting in on the action with one of the most entertaining showdowns on television – where tears from losing players will actually be age appropriate" said Nancy Daniels, General Manager, TLC.

“Discovery Life Channel celebrates all of life’s biggest moments, but even we know that, for many football fans, life stands still on game day – that is, unless there’s a distracting toddler on your home team!” said Jane Latman, general manager of Discovery Life Channel. “If you’re more interested in playtime than playbooks, the ENFAGROW TODDLER BOWL delivers all the rough ‘n’ tumble action of the Big Game but with a pint-sized dose of game-day spirit.”

In the ENFAGROW TODDLER BOWL, watch as little ones hike their crawling into high gear to show what their tiny muscles are made of. The ENFAGROW TODDLER BOWL demonstrates the benefits of good nutrition while harnessing toddlers’ boundless, playful energy.  – And the main prize is one their parents can appreciate: naptime!

The series of challenges include:

• Quarterback Challenge
• Touchdown Dance-off
• 4-Yard Dash
• The Build and Bash
• Construction Challenge
• Bubble Break
• Speed Sorting
• Shape Shifter

Enfagrow, part of the Mead Johnson family of pediatric nutrition products, serves as the presenting sponsor for the ENFAGROW TODDLER BOWL.  “Enfagrow is a nutritional drink designed to help nourish healthy brain development during the Toddler years. So, we were happy to sponsor a program that showcases both mental and physical challenges for toddlers,” said Leslie Lee, Associate Director of Marketing for Enfagrow.  The partnership, negotiated by Spark media agency, will feature a 360 campaign, with on-air and digital elements. Enfagrow, Discovery Communications’ Ad Sales Marketing, TLC, Discovery Life Channel and Discovery Family Channel created custom tune-ins, which will air prior to the show, featuring the toddlers’ pre-game rituals and chats with their ‘coaches’ before the big match.  There will also be on air vignettes featuring the game highlights, immediately following the bowl.  Viewers can visit TLC.com for a photo gallery of the cute toddlers in competition mode.

ENFAGROW TODDLER BOWL is produced by Discovery Studios with executive producer Rob Kerr.
