Creative learning and literacy-based shows helping support parents with maths and phonics resources and content.
BAFTA award-winning creative learning show Numberblocks and BAFTA-nominated literacy-based show Alphablocks are helping support parents of children aged 3 to 6 with maths and phonics resources and content.
Both brands are in high demand as parents seek learning resources to home school their children. Both shows are now featured every weekday on BBC Bitesize Daily – the BBC’s newly expanded educational offering – and have been recommended by the national press including The Telegraph and Sky News.
Both shows use humour, songs, fun characters and engaging storylines to both entertain and educate children.
“We want to support families at this challenging time,” said Joe Elliot, creator of Numberblocks and Alphablocks. “You can let your child watch Alphablocks and Numberblocks as much as you are happy for them to watch. Repeat viewing is great and they’ll be learning the whole time – it’s full of best-practice curriculum phonics/key number skills.”
Clare Piggott, md of Larkshead Media, which looks after the consumer products programme for both brands, added: “Numberblocks and Alphablocks both have huge audiences and engaged fanbases coupled with massive parental endorsement.
“Both brands have a wealth of resources parents and fans can reach alongside the show including NCETM support materials, CBeebies online activities, learning apps and crafting with Play-Doh.”
Clare continued: “We have had an amazing response to Numberblocks and Alphablocks and will be announcing some very special new strategic partnerships shortly.”
Numberblocks and Alphablocks series both air on CBeebies and BBC iPlayer in the UK, and globally on the respective official YouTube Channels where they generate on average over 5.5 million views daily.
