The Storytime app makes the most of the touch screen and native features of handheld devices, as well as allowing children to read and play ‘on the go’ without the need for WiFi.

Whilst the stories are no longer interactive, children can still snuggle up and watch the stories as videos, either independently or with a grown up. To update your guide, you will just need to retune your Freeview TV or digital box (some equipment may load the changes automatically). If you're not sure how to do this you can find advice at Freeview.co.ukand from the Freeview advice line on 03456 505050. When you open the skill you'll be asked to choose from a game, story or song, choose 'song' then listen to hear two song options. Can you send me some information about your programmes or audience for my school / university project? It’s a great way to keep little ones entertained without having to worry about a WiFi connection or data allowance.Listen to Mr. Tumble singing some of your favourite nursery rhymes, like ‘Wheels on the Bus’, 'Aunt Polly Had a Dolly' and ‘Twinkle Twinkle Little Star’ and popular Christmas numbers like Jingle Bells, Santa Claus is Coming to Town, Winter Wonderland and other festive favourites.As well as have fun singing along with CBeebies friends, your little one can learn about the alphabet, counting and pets in Sing With CBeebies.

Like all such sessions, these take account of a variety of factors, for example, age range and type of contribution required.

You can continue to use the original Playtime Island app for now, but you’ll see no further updates. Unfortunately, it's not possible for us to consider individual requests for children to appear on the programme, or be in the studio audience.
