We\u2019re incredibly proud to champion a show that not only sparks play and curiosity but does so with sustainability at its heart.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the series, the furry monster Murphi encourages young viewers to turn everyday recyclable materials into imaginative creations. Murphi comes to life through a blend of puppetry and CGI, which allows him to exist physically in his art studio while expanding into animated sequences when his imagination takes over.<\/p>\n<p>Murphi is joined by CBeebies presenter Rebecca Keatley, who becomes his creative ally.<\/p>\n<p><em>Monster Makes<\/em> is produced by Terrific Television, with animation from A Productions. It was produced at Maidstone Studios and received a 3-star Albert certification for season one, with recycled and reclaimed materials prioritized for props and builds and modular sets enabling reuse across episodes and repair and adaptation favored over replacement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new dual live-action and animation preschool series Monster Makes, from Terrific Television, is slated to premiere on March 16 on CBeebies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":31469,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[21],"tags":[5170,494,8162,12001,12002],"class_list":["post-31465","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-a-productions","tag-cbeebies","tag-kate-morton","tag-monster-makes","tag-terrific-television","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>CBeebies to Debut Preschool Craft Show Monster Makes - TVKIDS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"CBeebies to Debut Preschool Craft Show Monster Makes - TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"The new dual live-action and animation preschool series Monster Makes, from Terrific Television, is slated to premiere on March 16 on CBeebies.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVKIDS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2026-03-04T16:10:33+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2026-03-04T20:10:50+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/9\/2026\/03\/CBeebies-MonsterMakes-032.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"640\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"394\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"2 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/\",\"name\":\"CBeebies to Debut Preschool Craft Show Monster Makes - TVKIDS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2026-03-04T16:10:33+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2026-03-04T20:10:50+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/cbeebies-to-debut-preschool-craft-show-monster-makes\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"CBeebies to Debut Preschool Craft Show Monster Makes\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/\",\"name\":\"TVKIDS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvkids\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
