This research illustrates how young children conceptualize the image and role of ideal television in their life. Building upon Kress and Van Leeuwen’s (2006) theoretical framework of Visual Grammar, 70 drawings of children1 from kindergartens of Thessaloniki were analyzed both qualitative and quantitative. Children’s pictorial depictions of their understanding of dream TV suggested they viewed the desirable TV quite close to the traditional TV that has two main aims: entertainment and environmental education. Moreover, the concept of dream TV was closely defined by play both as outdoor activity and organized sports but also toys advertisements. The results of this research revealed that children sketch a quite positive and powerful image of dream TV painted with vivid colors and joyful pictures which has an active role in their lives.  \nKeywords: conceptualizing dream TV, children’s drawings, semiotic analysis, media and children.  \nRiassunto. Questa ricerca illustra in che modo i bambini piccoli concettualizzano l’immagine e il ruolo della televisione ideale nelle loro vite. Basandosi sul quadro concettuale del Visual Grammar di Kress e Van Leeuwen (2006), sono stati analizzati 70 disegni di bambini degli asili di Salonicco sia qualitativamente che quantitativamente. Le rappresentazioni pittoriche dei bambini della loro TV dei sogni hanno suggerito che vedessero la TV desiderabile abbastanza vicina alla TV tradizionale che ha due obiettivi principali: l’intrattenimento e l’educazione ambientale. Inoltre, il concetto di dream TV era strettamente definito dal gioco sia come attività all’aperto che come sport organizzato, ma anche dalla pubblicità di giocattoli. I risultati di questa ricerca hanno rivelato che i bambini disegnano un’immagine abbastanza positiva e potente della TV dei sogni che viene dipinta con colori vividi e immagini gioiose e che ha un ruolo attivo nelle loro vite.  \nParole chiave: concettualizzare la TV dei sogni, disegni dei bambini, analisi semiotica, media e bambini.  \n1 Preschool children in this article refer to children aged from four to six years old.  \nMedia Education 13(2): 9-20, 2022  \nISSN 2038-3002 (print) ISSN 2038-3010 (online) | DOI: 10.36253/me-11514  \n10 Sofia Theodosiadou, Argyris Kyridis  \n1. CHILDREN AND TELEVISION  \nScreen culture is characterized by its omnipresence in every aspect of young people’s lives and as such the distinction between concrete reality and the mediated one is often blurred, as the media seem to move smoothly and fluently between the two states. Children move between screens according to personal interest, accessibility, and the experiences each allows and globally they have the same media experience as they watch similar television programs and movies, play similar computer games etc. (Lemish, 2013).
