The programme provides children with the opportunity to extend and enrich their language by offering words that help them explore the 'Find'. Comfy Corner reflects the story time from the programmes read in the distinct voice of Roly Mo.

They are joined by animated puppets: Roly Mo the mole, Rockit the frog, Bessie the bird and Ribble the chick, who take significant parts within the story line. The friendly-faced costumed characters Fimbo, Florrie and Baby Pom have instant appeal with their strong stripy colours and movements, which reflect the physical movements of the young child (children are likely to view the puppets as one of them!). Good use is made of appropriate questioning that encourages children to think about what they are viewing and engage in the process rather than simple passive viewing. Ingredients in the programmes, such as scenes of real-life experiences, enable children to see their immediate world in a new light and the programme promotes curiosity through these carefully chosen shots.

This is particularly encouraged in the games and activities sections of the Fimbles website. Children are offered opportunities to make their own discoveries by using their basic skills and senses.

The idea of 'finding' is central to the television programme and online, together with all the fun of exploring, discovering and experimenting. This lovely new series, aimed at 2 - 4 year olds, will stimulate young children's natural curiousity and provide endless entertainment.įinding out about the world, making discoveries and having new experiences is just what the Fimbles and all very young children enjoy doing! Get the 'fimbling feeling' as the Fimbles find out about the world around them.
