Size Small is based on a predecessor series, Miss Helen's Kindergarten Party, airing from 1956 to 1962 on CFQC-TV in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The television series, launched in 1982, was a huge hit in Canada and around the world; it also aired on some PBS member stations in the United States, at least during 1987.

A series of Size Small records were produced, featuring songs performed on the show.

They were advertised at the end of every episode of the TV show, where they could be purchased by mail order.
