Hocle and Stoty is an American short-form children's television series originally airing on Nickelodeon as part of the Nick Jr. block.[1] It was produced by Spiffy Pictures.[2] Rather than animation, the show uses puppetry.

The series' production was documented in an art exhibit at the Art Center Highland Park in Highland Park, Illinois from 2010 until 2013.[3]

Plot

Two irregularly shaped puppet creatures living in the "far-off corner of Nick Jr." learn life lessons.
