What is Numberblocks About?
Numberblocks takes you on adventures in a place called Numberland. Here, characters are made of colorful blocks. The number of blocks tells you which number they are. Each character also has a tiny floating number above them, called a "numberling," showing their value.
When one Numberblock jumps on top of another, they combine! This creates a brand-new Numberblock character and a new number. For example, if One jumps on One, they become Two. The show is designed to help young children learn numeracy skills, like how to count and add up numbers.
