Guilt-free screen time to entertain the kids this Christmas
Need a bit of time to do some Christmas shopping? Write a food shopping list? Book travel arrangements? Or maybe get through some secret wrapping? We know how long the to-do list is for parents at this time of year and the CBeebies Learn app can help! Packed with learning games to capture the imagination of children and help support learning at the same time; here are five reasons to download the CBeebies Learn app.
1. Available offline
All games are available to download so kids can play anytime, anywhere without the need for data or wifi. Great if you’re travelling this Christmas and facing traffic jams or public transport delays and you’ve inevitably run out of snacks in the first half an hour (we’ve all been there!) And because you know it’s safe, you can concentrate on getting where you need to go, while they play and learn!
2. Packed with guilt-free learning
We know parents worry about screen time – we believe it’s what on them that counts. Luckily every game in the CBeebies Learn app has a learning element incorporated (we’ve made them with educational experts to support the early years curriculum). Children are genuinely benefitting from playing the games and watching the videos. CBeebies Learn – is putting the fun into learning!
3. New devices and unsure what to download
We know the world of devices and apps can be daunting. We also know the demand from kids is high, so if you are getting a new device this Christmas, CBeebies Learn is a great app with learning at its core. Children can play with their favourite CBeebies characters, Hey Duggee, Alphablocks, Numberblocks and more....and if they love CBeebies Learn… we’ve got the CBeebies Playtime Island app, CBeebies Get Creative app and CBeebies Storytime app for them to dive into too!
4. No adverts or in-app purchases
Kids can play independently with no risk of ending up somewhere they shouldn’t be, or accidently buying something that they shouldn’t! Meaning you can get a few jobs done nearby, without any worry. They’ll be learning and you can focus – win, win!
5. Kick off 2026 with fresh learning
Is your child due to start pre-school or Reception this year? If so, the CBeebies Learn app has just what you need to get 2026 off to a great start and put the fun into learning. Hey Duggee can help with shapes and colours, the Numberblocks have counting and maths covered, Alphablocks tackle phonics in a fun way, as well as lots of games and videos that promote general wellbeing, healthy routines, and independence. Kids won’t even realise they’re learning – they’re happy, you’re happy.
Trust us on this one – downloading the CBeebies Learn app will make things a little bit easier this Christmas.
