Show Format: Cooking and Crafts
The show followed Sean Roach, who drove a cool double-decker bus around West Michigan and Southeastern Pennsylvania. Sean would visit families to get awesome ideas for healthy recipes and fun crafts.
Doodle's Blueprints
After getting ideas, a virtual bus-shaped computer named Doodle would draw a "blueprint." This blueprint showed Sean exactly what he could make. Sean then taught viewers how to create these healthy recipes and crafts step-by-step.
Doggity's Animated Adventures
The show also had a cartoon part called "Doggity's." In this segment, Sean's pet beagle, Doggity, would make recipes with his dog friends. This all happened in a restaurant that was part of Doggity's imagination. Sometimes, Sean and the kids would even reuse something from a recipe to make a craft!
