Looking for some fun and educational apps for the kids? Discover the wonderful world of CBeebies. These apps will encourage imagination and creativity with help from some of their favourite characters.

Be transported to a tropical seaside full of fun in CBeebies Playtime Island. Characters from Hey Duggee, Supertato, Peter Rabbit and Bing are all here, and the activities range from rhythm games to matching ones. They’re all downloadable too, so a Wi-Fi-free zone doesn’t have to mean an entertainment-free one.

Support your child’s early reading skills with CBeebies Storytime. Designed for little ones to navigate, the app contains a host of entertaining and educational stories that include diverse characters, themes and celebrity narrators.

It’s perfect for bedtime or independent reading – which potentially means one less job for you. Hurrah!

There’s so much to do in CBeebies Get Creative, and it all encourages independent play.

Choose your favourite character and an activity to get started – you can build blocks, paint a masterpiece, direct a puppet show and more. And don’t forget to admire your excellent work in the Gallery afterwards.

Wander around CBeebies Learn’s lush green map and tap to play educational games with the characters you encounter.

Found the Numberblocks? Time to solve a maths puzzle! Run into JoJo and Gran? They’ll teach you about letter formation. Each activity is based on the early years curriculum. If only lessons were always this fun.

Learn, play and create with these top kids’ apps.
