The series was originally released on a CD and iTunes and also aired as a musical on TV, however, according to the insert, it was an “exclusive gift for Sprout fans and [was] not available in stores”. This suggests that the CD was part of a promotional giveaway of some kind. The Audio-Only Tracks could also once be downloaded from the Sprout Online website. While only 4 out of the 7 or 8 music videos can be found online due to the fact that the reprise is unconfirmed to have a music video of its own, All eight Audio-Only versions of the songs can currently be found in full and All of the song's lyrics can also be found online.
In 2008, The songs were originally released on a CD as part of a very obscure and limited promotional giveaway on the sprout online website, released on iTunes for a limited time, were available for download on the sprout online website, and also aired as a musical on the Sprout Channel (Now Known as Universal Kids), although this is still being speculated, the songs may have been downloadable as late as 2011, before one of the major overhauls on the sprout online website, and the actual music videos were, for the most part, lost shortly after broadcast until 2017 when 4 of them were uploaded by Meredith Halpern, Sprout's Creative Director, on Vimeo, who was involved in the production of the musical. On Jan 8th, 2020, LMW User ChocolateCircus445 found the CD on Amazon and uploaded all of the songs online. The lyrics of all the songs can be found on Archive.
 
On January 8th, 2021, the music videos on Meredith Halpern's Vimeo were taken down/privated for unknown reasons but were later re-uploaded to Archive.org by user P0902151.

In an interview with Halpern, she stated that Preschool Musical on 2 Sticks was a revision of the original 2008 musical. The revisions included a new scene including the Wiggles, the Wiggles being in the finale, and at least some puppets being attached to two popsicle sticks instead of just one.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20100430135152/http://www.sproutforparents.com/sprout/parentsplace/article_detail.aspx?id=43f6a483-221a-45f8-b89a-9cca009050dd Interview with Meredith Halpern about Preschool Musical on 2 Sticks.]</ref> There is no evidence that a CD was ever produced for this revised musical, so almost everything about it is lost.
