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.
Netflix has unveiled an expansion of its preschool and kids’ series, films and games lineup designed to fuel imagination and exploration for the next generation. Combined with Netflix’s 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 favourite stories, they can step inside them and interact with their favourite characters,” says John Derderian, Netflix vice-president of Animation Series + Kids & Family TV.
“We’re creating a seamless destination for discovery, learning and play. Whether it’s 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 family’s day.”
Netflix Playground: A welcoming world to play and explore
Now there’s a new way for kids to play and explore with their favourite 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.
Simply download the app to a smartphone or tablet and sign in to your Netflix account to access an ever-growing library of games. 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 such as:
- • Playtime with Peppa Pig: Jump into Peppa’s 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. Practise matching with memory cards or co-ordination with connect-the-dots.

- • 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.
