Colour is big. The world literally vibrates with it and it floods our brain every second our eyes are open. Everyone has a special relationship with colour and no-one more so than children. Connections we make with colours during childhood stay with us for a lifetime.
As well as offering an essential understanding of how colour works, the show opens a door to imagination and creativity (and a colour-first approach to art) in a wonder-filled exploration that’s sure to delight children everywhere. COLOURBLOCKS uses the proven magic of Blocks to help young children dive into the wondrous world of colour. Developed in consultation with a global team of colour experts, and packed with loveable characters, show-stopping songs, humour and adventure, the show delivers colour recognition, colour names, meaning and signifiers, mixing, mark making, similar and contrasting colours, light and dark and all kinds of patterns – and that’s just for starters. It's all designed to inspire young children to be colour explorers, discovering how the colours all around them work, and getting hands on with colour themselves.
Each vibrant Colourblock personifies a colour, making it memorable and exciting for a child. As they explore their colouring-book world, the Colourblocks discover that they can add colour to it as they go and, by working together, they can create new colours and make new friends.
Lively Red is very excited to be in the world. She’s fiery and dramatic and always running around finding new things to be passionate about.
Active Orange is full of energy! She can’t stop running, jumping, stretching and star-jumping, and when she runs out of juice, a slice of orange soon gets her powered up again.
Sunny Yellow is a happy, bouncy, cheerful chap. Full of fun and always positive, he keeps his friends smiling.
Green loves nature, naturally! Kind and relaxed, she loves plants and animals and is happiest in the forest or growing things in her greenhouse.
Cool Blue loves to relax in his little blue boat. He’s a calm thinker who’s great at solving problems and who loves to learn new things about the world.
Meet the Rainbow Chasers - Indigo, who says he’s ‘like Blue but a bit more Purple’, and Violet, who says she’s ‘A little bit Purple, but a bit more Blue’. These friends of Purple share a passion for rainbows and long to see one.
Imaginative Purple always has big dreams and big plans. He lives like a king in a big purple castle where all his friends are always welcome.
These mischievous friends are often seen together, along with the speakers that say their names when they bounce on them. As well as making their own colours, they help the Colourblocks create dark and light shades.
