About Doozers
Doozers are doers – they put their ideas into action. Doozers focuses on four little Doozers, a group of best buds who play together and share a love of inventing. Dubbed 'the Pod Squad,' Spike, Moly Bolt, Flex, and Daisy Wheel bounce from one fabulous adventure to the next engaging in exciting projects and having a blast playing together.
