We’re Cricket Media, a kids and family media company built for the digital era. For over 50 years, we’ve created stories that spark curiosity, imagination, and connection. Following our acquisition of Sensical, we now unite trusted magazines with streaming video, audio, and interactive experiences that help children explore their world safely and with wonder.
From print and video to podcasts and interactive play, we design experiences grounded in the science of child development that grow with kids, encouraging creativity, confidence, and critical thinking at every stage.
We operate with a dual purpose: to delight kids with high-quality, age-appropriate content, and to support parents, educators, mentors, brands, and platforms in helping children explore their world safely and confidently. We scale our impact through licensing, subscriptions, syndication, and strategic partnerships.
With a growing library of content and characters, a proprietary tech stack and licensing platform, and a unique market position, we’re building the go-to destination for playful, purposeful learning and discovery, creating moments that matter for families everywhere.
For over 50 years, Cricket Media’s award-winning magazines have sparked kids’ curiosity and imagination, inspiring them to explore, discover, and dream big.
Every issue builds confidence, creativity, and a lifelong love of learning through stories, art, and ideas that make the world feel full of wonder.
Parents and educators trust our magazines to deliver screen-free learning that inspires imagination and nurtures lifelong curiosity.
Sensical is the completely free, kid-safe streaming platform made just for ages 2–12. Every show is handpicked by experts—not algorithms—to spark curiosity and inspire learning.
