Numberblocks is a British children's CGI-animated TV series which debuted on CBeebies on 23 January 2017. It is animated by Blue-Zoo Productions, the studio that also produces Alphablocks, which is related.
Numberblocks follows the adventures of five anthropomorphic block characters, with the number of blocks determining which numeral they stand for. They have what is called a 'numberling' – a tiny black floating numerical figure – above them to show how many blocks they are made of. When one of the blocks jumps on top of another, they transform into a different character to make a new number. This approach is meant to help preschool children learn numeracy skills, especially how to count and add up. Akin to the similarly-themed show Numberjacks, odd numbers are female and even numbers are male.
