>> Peppa Pig
Yesterday at Website of the Day towers we were celebrating Ruby’s fourth birthday, so I promised that today’s site would be one of her favourites.
Peppa Pig currently airs on Channel Five and Nick Jr in the UK – it’s a hugely appealing (award-winning) cartoon series starring 5-year-old Peppa and her porcine friends and family (Mummy Pig, Daddy Pig, baby brother George and his favourite toy Mr Dinosaur).
The Pig family wear clothes, drive cars, go to school or work, watch telly and play on the computer, but they also retain a few piggy characteristics including snorting and (most-of-all) jumping in muddy puddles.
The music, bright colours and simple animation style make it very popular with under-fives, but it’s also got a nice tongue-in-cheek sense of humour which makes it a favourite with the kind of parents whose tolerance for most pre-school television is pretty limited.
The site is fully animated and has video clips from the show, character profiles, a gallery for toddlers to send in their own Peppa drawings to win a prize, and a range of games which are well-targeted at pre-schoolers. Ruby and I have spent many happy hours here!
