I loved watching these short on tv growing up. Always had a vague memory of them. Years later I went to Drexel University and my sound professor JAV tells us he did the sound for these. Life really catches us by surprise sometimes and this was such a lovely, happy circumstance. One of those full circle, unforgettable moments. Thank you Paul and Sandra🥲💖

WOWZA!! I’ve never seen this before. A collection of children’s music videos, Amby and Dexter style! I LOVE IT!!😍 They should have aired this on Nick Jr. It seriously feels like it could have been part of the Amby and Dexter series.

Thanks! So much nostalgia

3:49 what sound effect is it?

It's crazy how I've no recollection of these shorts whatsoever... and yet, I genuinely feel like I've watched them all before when I was small.

This is a literal representation of my brain. one being artsy and fun. The other being analytical and mathematic.

Shapeshifting makes ambidexterity wonderful!

must've seen a rerun of this 1997 was my birth year idk how I even remember this haha

I'm trying to figure out how I remember this show when I didn't have cable growing up.

Female Announcer: You’re playing with the Babies All Morning Long on Jim Henson’s Muppet Babies Baby Monday Marathon. Are you ready for more? Baby Animal: Yes. Female Announcer: Great. Stay Tuned on Nick Jr.

Amazing, algo blessed me with this childhood memory

The painting one my favorite one

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful A miracle, oh, it was beautiful, magical And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily Oh, joyfully, oh, playfully watching me

Anyone else get vibes of neurodivergency? Both ambi and dexter struggle with tasks in a way that expresses having no dominant hand, but this is done in a way that feels like the opposite of what people think of when they hear ambidexterous. I am curious if this was at all intentional? This was made at a time that mental health was just not a priority in kids shows, but like... the imagery is right there... especially in the Piano and gardening episodes, they morph back into their hand forms in positions that show the person struggling with getting their hands to work right and do what they want.

I’m 29 this is crazy I haven’t thought about these shorts in years but somehow I remember them all

Watching this and then playing Spyro the Dragon on ps1 was on ANOTHER LEVEL! Life was more than good it was beautiful!

The original ASMR of my childhood

The first short with the tape is one of the first things I remember watching on tv as a liiiittle little kid. I used to love the calming sound of the tape being moved around-almost like the original ASMR

The origin story of my love of ASMR

It hits so hard. The nostalgia. The sound of the water dripping from the paintbrush, the rustling of the paper. I dropped my phone and tears just started forcing their way out. I saw these animations when I was elementary school almost 20 years ago. Where has the time gone? 😢

I’m just realizing Amby & Dexter is a play on words for Ambidextrous since the two hands turn into Amby & Dexter!

I have such amazing memories of this show & now i get to share these wonderful episodes with my children & they love Amby & Dexter!

Had a random dream of them painting with water colors and here I am. I took it as a sign. 😂 random shit you remember from your childhood

It was always on after the big comfy couch or in between the lions or reading rainbow

The original ASMR.

Omg i’ve been searching for this for years!! Found it on twitter someone use a gif of them and I went to the comments for answers

im suddenly thirty and have also suddenly had to come to try and find this and im gald i did

I found this randomly on IG of an account of 90s babies and quickly found it. Oh the Nostalgia I remember the painting more.

I remember these shorts. I haven’t seen these in so long. I’m 34 so last time I saw them may have been the mid 90s.

I've been trying to find this for several years now. The sounds, the colors, the style of animation.. all of it just kinda loomed in the back of my mind as a faint memory that would come back to me from time to time. I was watching a video with my partner about someone who was 300 yards from an atomic bomb and survived. In it, there was a girl dipping her brush into some ink and the sound triggered this faint memory again. Somehow, all it took was the google search "animation, watercolor, brush, pbs" and I've unlocked a small but core memory for myself. Feels good. Hope others who faintly remember this find it and that it brings back good memories.

I used to be creeped out watching this

WHT this generation need it

I was trying so hard to recall where I had seen the Portraits short and what it was called and I finally managed to use the right search terms to find this! Thank you Paul & Sandra! You were a wonderful influence on countless childhoods like mine ❤

the painting one is what made me want to pursue art

I've been looking for this forever but I didn't know what it was called so I just called it the finger people lol

Doing dmt while watching >>> 😂❤

After all these years. the sorrow of longing for better days wash over me like waves. im 32 and all around me are the memories of what once was and would have been. what I'd give to wake up in 2011 again muchless '96, '97. "Keep your heads up, if you don't gonna drown"

I wish I knew why Amby and Dexter never talked.

Long live 90s babies😎 thank you for this I’m 31 and brings back so many memories at my grandmas house watching this

And they wonder why we like ASMR videos so much now.

This awakens core memories deep in my cerebrum that I didn't even realize existed

I remember the gardening one the most. Dang that was a long time ago.

This was my childhood first ASMR without even knowing or realizing what ASMR was I remember the sound vividly loved this show 😂

I'm 24 I remember this from elementary art class

In the end, the one that owns these two hands are crap at different things lol

The tune when Ambie opened the faucet god, the memories

This gives my heart such warmth and happiness. Man what a childhood we had

I remember the one with the egg carton the most
