"It's like a bumper-packed activity playbook that helped my child with his colours, numbers, letters, spelling… in fact the list is endless!"
Welcome to CBeebies Weekly… a totally new kind of children's magazine! It's bursting with your child's favourite CBeebies friends along with puzzles, colouring, songs and makes. But there's more…
The pages reflect what is on CBeebies each week, so your child can watch TV with even more interaction (and the magazine will always contain their current favourites)!
The cover pulls off to become a weekly reward chart with a different theme each week. Reward charts can really motivate young children and the stickers will ensure that they will enjoy the experience!
The magazine is based on areas of learning which support pre-school development, outlined below, to ensure that your little learner gets the best start.
