This page is about the show. For the characters, see Numberblocks (characters). For the musical, see Numberblocks (musical).


Numberblocks is a British animated preschool series created by Joe Elliot and produced by Alphablocks Ltd. The first season, including the premiere episode One, was animated by Magic Lantern. In later series, animation production was taken over by Blue Zoo Animation Studio. Premiering on CBeebies on 23 January 2017, it is the second show in the Learningblocks franchise.

Premise

Numberblocks' premise is similar to its predecessor, Alphablocks, with the only major difference being that Numberblocks teaches math instead of literature. The series involves a variety of characters with different personalities relating to the number who explore different math concepts. They can do math with themselves such as adding or subtracting.

Sometime from early 2015 to early 2016, a comic was written titled "One". The comic involves a white block falling from the sky, growing arms and a face, discovering she's one, but eventually found a mirror, but when she stepped away from it, another one appeared, they then make a yellow character with two blocks. this comic was considered "an idea that eventually evolved into Numberblocks".

Concept art were also being eventually made for the characters, such as an amphibian Two, along with early looks for the Numberblocks One to Five and Ten that resemble animals[1].

The Numberblocks' designs then evolved, showing drafts of what Numberblocks One to Ten used to look like before the episodes were planned out[1].

On 13th January 2017, the show was then announced, with the theme song being uploaded on the CBeebies YouTube channel, and on 23rd January 2017, the episode One aired on 10:20am, replacing Alphablocks on that timeframe. With that, episodes begin to air daily every week until Hide and Seek on loop.

On 19th April 2017, The show got the second series announced, introducing Six to Ten. The show got first a BAFTA award and was nominated in the Pre-School Animation category following Series 2.

On late 2017, Series 3 and 4 would eventually get greenlit due to the series' popularity. Series 3 was announced on 12th September, and its first episode aired on 24th September 2018.

On 1st December 2018, the show won a second BAFTA award and came out top at the awards ceremony. The episode The Wrong Number was the BAFTA winner.[2]

Starting from the 21st January 2019, Eleven through Fifteen would get introduced to the series.
