Wonderblocks is a British animated television series for preschoolers that debuted on CBeebies on 20 January 2025.[1] The series follows the adventures of block characters in Wonderland, each one being part of a different group. Together with the series Alphablocks, Numberblocks and Colourblocks, it is a part of the "Blocks Universe". Commissioned by the British Broadcasting Corporation, the programme was created by Joe Elliot and David Bowman, and produced by Alphablocks Ltd. with Blue Zoo Animation Studio.

Five episodes have aired and the other twenty-five are yet to release. As of the 2023 plan, the series was scheduled for production up to 2027, per an agreement between the Alphablocks Ltd. and Blue Zoo, and BBC.

According to the Blue-Zoo website, the show was pitched in 2020 just before the lockdown, five years prior to its release and one year prior to Colourblocks starting production in 2021.

Premise

[edit]

The programme aims to teach children about coding. Go and Stop hold hands with a Do Block (or several) in the middle, to make coding activate on the Do Block's animal, including Arty. Do Blocks will also duplicate to activate on the entity twice (like Cluck duplicating himself to unlock a password) or thrice (Baa wanting Secret Agent Chicken to baa three times).
