Probably not, because who would have thought that ABC2′s Bananas in Pyjamas now have their own apps! Out now for the summer holiday break. Bananas Pyjamas Beach Fun ($1.99 AUD) and Pyjamas Say Cheese ($2.99AUD) Designed for kids aged 2 to 4 years old.
These very simple and cheap apps are fairly easy for the little ones to navigate, and if they can’t they can just poke at the screen until something happens (isn’t that how everyones kids drive their iPods?)
The Beach Fun app is great prep for a trip to the beach, the kids get to apply sunblock, put on hats and sunnies or build a sandcastle. They can knock down the sandcastle too. I thought this app could be developed a little further, maybe they could go play on the beach or swim, but other than that it’s a good little app.
Say Cheese is a camera app, and who hasn’t got a toddler who loves to take a hundred photos of themselves with Mums iPhone, my kids love this one. It has 10 picture frames for the kids to choose from, and then they can take their picture along with the Bananas. Once a picture is taken you can dress yourself up in hats and glasses, or add extra characters and objects and save the resulting picture. The Bananas commentate while you take the photo, which my kids thought was hilarious. Check out an image of Georgie below, the apps biggest fan

Have to be Giggle and Hoot – Cooper always insists on going to bed when Hoot starts to look after us all at night which saves us the old “Go to bed Now” moment and guarantees a happy night sleep for Cooper

Hate CGI bananas! What is wrong with getting out of work actors to wear large banana costumes to make a 3 minute story about their misadventures with some teddies and a large rat?

My children love Mr Maker as they are always creating new and interesting objects and animals..
We love ABC 2 and all the shows.
Little Master 2 loves Little Charley Bear, so for Christmas he got a talking Little Charley Bear, which he carries everywhere.
Mister Maker of course! He not only inspires the kids to be creative but often has me excited in joining in their craft activities.
My son just loves ‘Mister Maker’.
Playschool and the teddies with B1 and B2. Everytime B1 and B2 come down the stairs the kids get that excited and start chasing one another, you would think there is red cordial!! excitement guaranteed
Giggle & Hoot show is my sons fav,
He loves the end song,
Cute animals singing with the moon,
You cant go wrong
Seasame Street has still got it for my kids. My 2yo Bella especially loves Elmo and Abby Cadabby.
Play School – longevity proves it’s great. I used to watch it & now at 38, I watch it with my own kids & it gives me great, fun crafting & boredom busting ideas!
Roary the Racing car is my son’s no 1 favourite and as a result I constantly have the theme song stuck in my head!
Play School for us – she loves it when they sing!
I love Peppa Pig, such a cute show. Love the way they snort when they talk!
“Playschool” is our all-time fave
Gives us all half an hour of
Space!
I love the Sooty Show. I loved it and I want my godson to love it too!
Would have to say we (well my daughter) is really getting into play school.
Oh, so many to choose from! I have always loved Play School, but my DD1 (4yrs) adores Mr Maker & Charlie and Lola. DD2 & DD3 (twins 2yrs) love Peppa Pig & In the Night Garden.
They all love the free Playschool iPad app & the Peppa Pig ones too
We live Poko – it has some great friendship messages
Both my 4 yr old and 2yr old LOVE Peppa Pig. I often hear them cracking up when its on.
my 18 month old loves bananas in pyjamas!! He always laughs when he sees Rat and becomes entranced watching the Teddys dance and sing.
Playschool is the best
My kids favourite is Mister Maker – brilliant programme!
my 2 year old loves elmo because of Mr Noodle.
Their absolute favorite is mister maker!
