The series, produced by the Israeli educational television (Israeli Educational Television IETV, הטלוויזיה החינוכית הישראלית), was first broadcast in January 1982 and ran until 2004. To date, the "Channel 23", a channel of IETV, reruns of episodes from Parpar Nechmad to see.

description
The series consists of interactions between people and dolls . In each episode, viewers experience familiar everyday situations from family life, with creative ways to solve various problems being shown. The respective situations are illustrated and loosened up with songs and games. Most episodes also contain a story told by one or more actors or short sketches with cartoons .
Classic version, 1982–1995
Until 1995, the series was set in a room that was filled with differently shaped rods and arches that vaguely resembled a room in an apartment. This deliberately surrealistic design is intended to understand the view of the world from the point of view of a toddler, whereby the imagination and creativity are given a wide scope.
New version, since 1995
After the death of Yoni Chen (1953-1995), the spokesman for the turtle Batz , the series was put on hold for a few years. In 1998 there was a revival, but with a completely different design. The two venues now appeared as a realistically designed house with a real backyard. The appearance of the puppets was also changed and new actors appeared. Datia Bat-Dor, author of the scripts and songs for Parpar Nechmad's first 80 broadcasts , misses the “holy shiver” in the program work in the new version.
