About Knee High Spies
In the Hunter family home, no party, no visit from Nana and no tooth under a pillow is safe from Silver Paw. Silver Paw is a power‑hungry pet guinea pig, helped by her sneaky toy minions, pirate orangutan toy Pranksy and robot Glitch. Luckily, the house is protected by a secret team of toys whose job is to keep their owners safe. They are the Knee High Spies.
The team includes Jeremy Buttons the puzzle‑loving teddy bear, Deena the action‑ready dinosaur, Moss the tech‑smart turtle and Squash the gooey master of disguise. Each mission is a race against time to stop Silver Paw’s latest plan. The spies face tricky puzzles along the way and kids are invited to help solve them. The series encourages a love of problem solving and shows that anyone can be a hero, no matter how small.
