Format

Like its predecessors, Crocamole is aimed at preschoolers and features a central theme of exploring and discovering the world. Set in a kitchen, Crocamole is designed as a creative cooking show for children which educates the audience on healthy eating. The three presenters use food to explore a theme for each episode, while also singing various songs based on the day's theme, and playing games.

Other features of each episode include Kitchen Detectives, which involves searching for kitchen items beginning with a certain letter, Tiny Tales, which are daily stories, and opening mail from viewers. Also featured are three puppet strawberry characters called the Strawberry Sisters.

The series conveys the message that "across all cultures, the kitchen is the beating heart of every household. It is where meals are created and prepared with care and love to nourish children and families." The educational focus of the show addresses nutrition, numeracy, literacy, and gross and fine motor skills.^[1]
