Meet the Numberblocks

Playful counting fun with trusted Numberblocks characters

Meet the Numberblocks is a charming early-learning title designed for very young children who are just beginning to explore numbers. Built around the popular Numberblocks TV series, it delivers a safe, distraction-free space where preschoolers can recognise numbers, count objects and connect quantities with numerals.

The core activity is simple but effective. Each Numberblock is accompanied by its matching Numberblobs, and children tap the blobs one by one to count aloud. When they finish, they’re rewarded with a short, catchy video clip featuring the familiar Numberblocks song. This loop of “count, confirm, celebrate” works extremely well for reinforcing basic numeracy through repetition.

Presentation is polished and faithful to the show. Bright colours, smooth animations and clear voice work keep children engaged, while the responsive touch controls are forgiving enough for small fingers. Tapping a Numberblock triggers fun catchphrases and transformations, adding a playful layer that encourages experimentation without overwhelming the child.

Parents will particularly appreciate the absence of in-app purchases and third‑party adverts. There are no pop-ups, no accidental buys and no confusing menus, making it a trustworthy option to hand over to a toddler.

That said, this is very much an introductory experience. The content is deliberately limited in scope: there are no difficulty levels, progress tracking or extended mini-games. Older children, or those already confident with counting, may outgrow it quite quickly.

As a first step into the world of numbers, however, Meet the Numberblocks succeeds by keeping things focused, friendly and fun. It works best as a short, supervised learning companion to the TV series, ideal for reinforcing counting skills in a reassuringly safe environment.
