SING AND COUNT!

Brief

Numberblocks helps kids get their heads around maths by turning numbers into colourful, characterful fun. To go alongside the main series, Blue Zoo brought us in to create 10 x 2’ songs starring familiar faces and locations from the show.

You can catch the series on BBC iPlayer and the CBeebies Youtube channel - catchy tunes and plenty of counting included.

Animated green character from Numberblocks made of four cube blocks with expressive eyes, mouth, and limbs, with the number 4 floating above.

Behind the scenes

At the start of the project we were given a package of assets, 10 catchy songs (still humming them, by the way), and an extremely tight timeline. There was no time for storyboards, so our team jumped straight into animation.

And what a job they did - crafting fun, energetic and educational songs that have been living happily on BBC iPlayer ever since.

Colorful wooden sailboats numbered from 1 to 5 on the water, with a green hill in the background and a wooden dock with small colorful houses and a flagpole.
