Pinwheel was created by Vivian Horner and produced by Sandy Kavanaugh, two educators who had previously worked at the Children's Television Workshop. The series is set in and around a large Victorian-style boarding house called Pinwheel House, which is powered by a pinwheel on one of the peaks. It is the first series to have been broadcast on the then-rebranded Nickelodeon, and the first on its Nick Jr. block as reruns until 1990.
The show takes place in and around a large Victorian-style boarding house powered by a pinwheel on one of the peaks. The Ohio episodes relied heavily on songs mostly performed by Jake.
