In the Box was a 30-minute preschoolers' television program which aired in Australia on Network Ten[1] at 8:30 am to 9:00 am, from Monday to Friday. It first aired on 21 December 1998, with the series ending in 2006.[2] It was most recently hosted by Brett Annable,[3] Tracey Fleming, Michael McKenna and Bop, their resident puppet.

The show featured varied content. However, there were certain events that would take place during each episode. These included a 'delivery', in which the hosts received a box of items to do an activity with, a visit from two different children each day, and the goodbye song. Some episodes had a particular theme such as baking or time travel.

During each episode, Michael, Brett, Tracey and Bop sang a variety of songs which appealed to the young target audience. These included Simon Says, Follow the Leader and Washy Washy.[4]
