If you’ve got a toddler or under 5-year-old at home, odds on that they are a Cbeebies fan. Well I know that mine is anyway.
As well as being a Cbeebies fan, he’s also a massive fan of Chris and Pui and ‘Show Me, Show Me’, as I’m sure we all are.
Well recently as he’s been enjoying his daily dose of ‘Show Me, Show Me’, he’s also been fascinated with the new cartoon character Uki who features in the small cartoons they are running during the show.
Now you may be familiar with Uki from the show, but I’m sure you may be surprised (and thrilled) like me to discover that Uki is a bit of a star in his own right, with his own website www.ukiland.com, DVD, games and even Plush toy!
We received a copy of the DVD to take a look at, and have had a lovely couple of mornings watching it. I tend to watch it with my 3yr old once we get back from taking his big brother to school. It’s our special program which we watch and enjoy together.
For the uninitiated Uki is a little yellow creature who lives in a sunflower, and spends his days exploring the nature around him. He has lots of animal friends like Hedgehog, Rabbit and Duck, plus some other friends Sun, Moon and Cloud who act as Uki’s guardian and are always around keeping an eye on him.
On big difference between Uki and other cartoons is that there is Uki does not talk, everyone communicates with sounds and gesturing to the camera. The cartoons are really very sweet, and as there is no speech just soothing music, it’s a very relaxing watch.
You also get to see a bit more of the fun with each episode on the DVD. I think the Show Me, Show Me one’s are slightly shortened, missing out the repetitious parts of the show like the jigsaw at the beginning of each episode, and looking through the album at the end of most episodes.
Jacob absolutely loves this DVD, and even though I knew he liked Uki I’ve been surprised by how much he laughs out loud at him. Some of the episodes on the DVD had him rolling around on the floor laughing. I’m not use why but something about Uki really connects and tickles him.
With the DVD being such a big success in our house, I’m overjoyed to be able to offer you all a chance to win a copy for yourself. I have 2 prize packages to give away to the 2 lucky winners containing an Uki Plush and Uki DVD.
All you need to do to win is leave a comment below letting me know what your favorite Cbeebies programme or Character is? Plus there is an extra entry if you subscribe to Toybuzz (please let me know in a separate comment if you do this, thanks)
Competition closes midnight 19th September.

My children (and myself) all love Jackanory!!! My children (aged between 7 and 4) love it simply because it is something they can all sit and watch together – just like they all sit and listen to me when I read them a bedtime story each night. And I Jackanory because I love stories and I watched it too as a child, though this was many years ago and it wasn’t quite the same lol! I think stories are one of the best learning formats for young children as they not only develop literacy skills, but they also help develop concentration and imagination too! My children have lots and lots of books and this programme is the next best thing!

I love Something Special with Mr Tumble, my all time favourite cbeebies program, I find Mr Tumble very amusing and so do my children.
Gigglebiz is our favourite!
We love Justin in Gigglebiz at the moment. My kids love the Aunties and I hold them responsible for the “silly posh voices” at tea time in our house lol x
Night Garden
Favourite Cbeebies programme – Grandpa in my pocket
My daughter loves Grandpa from ‘Grandpa in my pocket’ but I prefer Lola from ‘Charlie & Lola’

My daughter who is nearly three has a real ‘thing’ about Me Too! She particularly loves Bobby, but also refers to Mickey John as ‘Daddy’ whenever she sees him (eek!) and even remarks on Granny Murray’s choice of cardigan at the start of the show. She does have the dvd and it’s saved the day many a time! She would enjoy the Uki DVD as she does love Show Me, Show Me too and especially since we went along to the roadshow earlier this year
We love Raa Raa The Lion (which has the catchiest theme tune in the world!).
SHow me Show Me is fab!! Both my boys love it and are always trying to guess who will come to visit in the lift.
Miss Hoolie because she brightens up my day and makes me feel happy!
It has to be Gigglebiz! Altogether now: “na na na na na na Gigglebiz, na na na na ho ho ho!…”
My daughter loves mr tumble….
Where as i prefer grandpa in my pocket
My 4 year old son loves ‘Grandpa in my Pocket’ and ‘Come Outside’ the best. He laughs at Uki in ‘Show me show me’ because when he falls he said he lands on his bahookie, so Uki’s name changes, he adds ‘Bah’ at the beginning and then rolls around the floor laughing. Kids will be kids!
My favourite character is Mr Maker as he gives me lots of ideas for things to make with the babies although my 2 yr old girl’s favourite is definitely STILL Upsy Daisy!! (My newly 1yr old is also mezmorised by Iggle Piggle :-))
Baby jake! Reminds me of my little one
My daughter loves baby jake. She giggles her little head off!

My daughter loves cbeebies and most of all Mr Maker ( I must admit I am a bit partial myself lol)

my son owen (5) is obsessed with baby jake
he pretends his baby brother jamie is baby jake
I love Mr Tumble and the programmes that he is in. I think it’s important for children to understand that we are all different and brilliant that he teaches sign language in a fun and simple way.
My 3 year old loves all the programmes, but at the moment his faves are baby Jake and momobot for his ‘rainbow song’!
My favourite character is Jake from The Tweenies, I love it when he is Dot Man.
i love justin and mr tumble as this is a great way to introduce the value of sign language for both children and adults
Bob the Builder Bob
WE LOVE OCTONAUTS!!
grand daughter loves night garden
My 14 month daughter loves Cbeebies. Her favourite character has to be Mr Tumble. She stops in her tracks everytime he pops up to the screen. She goes to baby signing classes and this has helped a lot with that too.
The Octonauts and bob the Builder are the biggest hits in my house.
Upsydaisy from the ‘Night Garden’
I love Lola from Charlie and Lola!
In our house our favourite Cbeebies character is Peso from the Oconauts. My 2 and 5 year olds both love him and I think he’s a great role model from them. x
We Love Postman Pat

In the night garden it truly relaxes my babies ready for bed
