Parpar Nechmad (Hebrew: פרפר נחמד, Nice Butterfly) is a long-running Israeli children's television programme, aimed mainly at pre-school children. The series premiered in January 1982 and ran until 2004. It was produced by Israeli Educational Television (IETV), and to this day, remains successful in repeats on IETV's former home network, Channel 23, and via a reboot of the series that debuted on 5 September 2021 on Kan Educational.
The programme was originally produced by Shoshana Tzachor. Its head writer was Datia Ben Dor, who provided scripts for most of the early shows, as well as lyrics and music to many of the featured songs. The puppets were all designed by Yehudit Greenspan. The show's title refers to a then well-known nursery rhyme by Fania Bergstein, "Come to Me, Nice Butterfly".
