Octonauts

One of Kara’s favourite programmes on CBeebies is Octonauts. It’s actually a great show for her to watch and she learns a lot without it being in your face.

She was very pleased to get these figures for her birthday. I’ve been overhearing her games with them from the office.

My favourite is Kwazii (third from the right).

The show follows an underwater exploring crew made up of stylized anthropomorphic animals, a team of eight adventurers who live in an undersea base, the Octopod, from which they go on undersea adventures with the help of a fleet of aquatic vehicles. Although its technology is fictional, the exotic creatures and locations that the crew encounter are based on real marine animals in their natural habitats. The show's subject matter has been compared to that of Star Trek and Thunderbirds blended with Jacques Cousteau.
