Giggle and Hoot is an Australian children's television "wrap-around" program block that aired on the ABC Kids channel.

In later seasons, they were joined by a second owl called Hootabelle (played by Jemma Armstrong) along with other friends and their toys.

In the program, Jimmy Giggle is shown to enjoy mending objects and a talent for creating new things out of everyday items; for instance, he used a bath to make a bed, and the walls of his house were sewn and buttoned together.

He plays several musical instruments, including the ukulele, double bass, baritone saxophone, piano, and guitar.

Although owls are traditionally nocturnal, the show depicts him favouring the daytime, which Hoot finds "very exciting".

She enjoys the colour purple, books, butterflies, owl snacks, worm-flavoured milkshakes, and singing.

Giggleosaurus the dinosaur is Jimmy Giggle's favourite; Mini-Hoot belongs to Hoot, and Hootabelle has a toy cat called Gigglepaws.

Giggleosaurus, Mini-Hoot and Gigglepaws are treated and spoken to as real characters by Jimmy Giggle and the owls and are often used while playing.

Additional puppet characters that have appeared on the show include: The Day Time Block is between 7–9 am and 1:45–2:40 pm, and there are a number of music video clips shown in this time, including: When Jimmy Giggle, Hoot and Hootabelle press a button on the side of their vegetable box it "magically" transforms into "The Gigglearium" – a musical theatre where three vegetables – Tommy Tomato (Hamish Fletcher/Nicholas Richard), Bessie Broccoli (Naomi Young) and Cosmo Carrot (James Rees) – come to life and sing songs.
