Wonderblocks will to teach kids pre-coding skills

BBC Children’s and Education has commissioned a new spin-off to hit series Numberblocks, Alphablocks and Colourblocks.

Wonderblocks aims to teach preschoolers pre-coding skills by training their brains through adventure and problem-solving fun.

Premiering on CBeebies and iPlayer later this month, Wonderblocks comes from Alphablocks Ltd and Blue Zoo Animation, which are also behind the Numberblocks, Alphablocks and Colourblocks series.

Co-created by Joe Elliot and Tom Box, the animated series blends storytelling with foundational concepts to make complex, educational ideas accessible for young minds.

New Blocks characters will showcase the balance of action and thought through their humorous and energetic adventures which emphasise core skills like problem-solving, planning, pattern recognition, sequencing and logic, while also modelling the values of teamwork, friendship, curiosity and a love of learning.
