For parents, the to-do list can be never-ending. That's why we want to make Netflix a curated space where parents know kids are entertained, engaged and enriched. Today, we're unveiling an expansion of our preschool and kids' series, films and games lineup designed to fuel imagination and exploration for the next generation. Combined with our comprehensive parental controls, this high-quality, curated environment lets kids discover at their own pace while giving parents added confidence and peace of mind.
"We're building a world where kids can not only watch their favorite stories, they can step inside them and interact with their favorite characters, said John Derderian, Netflix Vice President of Animation Series + Kids & Family TV. We're creating a seamless destination for discovery, learning, and play. Whether its reuniting with Hank and the Trash Truck crew for new adventures or making a smoothie with Peppa Pig, watching and playing on Netflix can be the fun and easiest part of every familys day."
Introducing Netflix Playground: A Welcoming World to Play and Explore
Now there's a new way for kids to play and explore with their favorite characters - from Peppa Pig to their friends on Sesame Street - called Netflix Playground. Designed for children ages 8 and under, Netflix Playground is included with all memberships and makes saying "yes" to playtime easier, with no ads, in-app purchases or extra fees. Netflix Playground is now available in the US, Canada, the UK, Australia, the Philippines and New Zealand. It will be released in the rest of the world on April 28.
Simply download the app to a smartphone or tablet and sign in to your Netflix account to access an ever-growing library of games for kids. Because every activity is instantly playable and available offline, Netflix Playground is the perfect companion for long airplane rides or grocery trips, ensuring the only surprise is how much fun kids have along the way.
Netflix is now your first stop for entertaining and enriching games like:
Playtime With Peppa Pig - Jump into Peppas world with a collection of playful activities. Care for guinea pigs, drive the bus, make a smoothie and more.
Sesame Street - Hang out with Elmo, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar and more beloved puppet pals. Practice matching with memory cards or coordination with connect-the-dots.
Dr. Seuss's Horton! - Explore vibrant jungle environments that encourage creativity through cause-and-effect play with Horton and friends. Try skateboarding and basketball, too!
Storybots - Have fun with these curious and inquisitive critters through colorful sticker book scenes, jigsaw puzzles and more activities.
Dr. Seuss's The Sneetches - Join Stella Sneetch on interactive adventures through her world, choose shapes to develop pattern recognition and build a one-of-a-kind car.
Bad Dinosaurs - Pick a tiny tyrannosaurus to run on a race track, or jam out with a turntable, keyboard and sound effects to make a fart-filled new song.
Dr. Seuss's Red Fish, Blue Fish - Tap and drag to reveal delightful surprises in the fishes living room and kitchen play zones, or soar through the air in a hot air balloon.
Let's Color - Unleash your creativity with coloring pages featuring your favorite characters.
