Parpar Nechmad

Parpar Nechmad (Hebrew: פרפר נחמד, Nice Butterfly) is a long-running Israeli children's television program, aimed mainly at pre-schoolers.

Its head writer was Datia Ben Dor [he], who provided scripts for most of the early shows, as well as lyrics and music to many of the featured songs.

This deliberately surreal design is meant to give the impression of seeing the world from an infant's point of view, which is full of imagination and creativity.

On 18 July 2008 it was first revealed that Israeli Educational Television planned to reboot the show again, and that auditions for the new human cast would soon take place.

[1] On 5 April 2021 it was announced that the second reboot will be in Fall 2021 in Kan Educational with four new hosts - Meshi Kleinstein [he], Uri Banai [he], Ester Rada and Ben Yosipovich [he].
