Coutesy of Noggin

Noggin and The N pay tribute to Mom throughout the day on Sunday, May 12 with two separate programming blocks aimed at celebrating Mother's Day.

The celebration begins bright and early Sunday morning at 8:00 a.m. on Noggin with "Little Bear" and runs throughout the day with special Mother's Day themed episodes of "123 Sesame Street," "Gullah Gullah Island," "Allegra's Window," and "Franklin." At 6:00 p.m., when Noggin transforms into The N, a special mom-themed episode of "Clarissa Explains It All" kicks off the evening which also features a new, never-before-seen episode of "A Walk In Your Shoes" featuring a mother/daughter switch.

The following is a detailed rundown for Mother's Day with repeat telecasts.
