New CBeebies App Launched by BBC

BBC has released a new CBeebies app, Get Creative, as part of its plans to invest in content that informs, educates and entertains kids in the changing ways they consume media.

Get Creative allows users to make music, design a toy and direct their own CBeebies episode. Children can select a CBeebies buddy from Hey Duggee, Go Jetters or Bitz and Bob. The app, which is now available, is meant for youngsters between the ages of 3 and 5.

BBC is also launching children’s box sets on the iPlayer and CBeebies Bedtime Stories on smart speakers for the first time.

Lucie McLean, the head of children’s products for BBC Design & Engineering, commented: “Little ones won’t be short of things to do this half-term, with a major new CBeebies app, BBC iPlayer box sets and new content on smart speakers for children. Get Creative is a brilliant example of how we are offering children new and exciting ways to interact with their favorite CBeebies’ characters. The app aims to spark kids’ imaginations through fun, exploratory experiences and open-ended play, and I’m sure parents and children alike will enjoy getting creative this half-term.”
