BBC Studios has launched an interactive Yakka Dee!<\/em> spin-off, Yakka Dee!, What Can You See?<\/em>, on the series\u2019 dedicated YouTube channel.<\/p>\n

\u201cYakka Dee! What Can You See?<\/em> is an exciting evolution of the Yakka Dee! brand, designed to spark curiosity and deepen engagement in young learners,\u201d said Cecilia Persson, managing director of BBC Studios Kids & Family. \u201cThis new interactive format brings language development to life through play, helping children build essential skills while having fun. We\u2019re proud to continue innovating with King Banana TV to deliver content that supports early learning and reflects the joyful spirit of Yakka Dee!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n

The 15×3-minute digital-first series guides preschoolers through a spotting game. In each scene, there are three things for the young viewers to find.<\/p>\n

Yakka Dee!<\/em> airs on CBeebies and iPlayer and also encourages early language acquisition skills by teaching phonemes in a way that gives children building blocks for phonics, literacy and life-long learning.<\/p>\n

Yakka Dee!, What Can You See?<\/em> launched on YouTube\u2019s Yakka Dee! Toddler Learning channel on October 25.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are delighted to build the Yakka Dee! brand and continue to provide content for kids that has enduring benefits,\u201d commented Katie Simmons, creative director of King Banana. \u201cThis builds on King Banana\u2019s portfolio of impactful shows that make a positive difference to children\u2019s lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
