Where to watch Number blocks?

Hi! My little boy is obsessed by number blocks and we have the first 3 volumes. He's got beyond that point now. I'm struggling to find the next two volumes anywhere on dvd (£62 on Amazon?!). Where does it stream? Thanks!

Iplayer has the full alphablocks and numberblocks. So does Amazon Kids (it’s 2/mth)

Twentytwo22 · 10/09/2023 12:36

There's also alphablocks and colour blocks!

So I've subscribed to Amazon Kids+ but I can't see Number Blocks on it! Am I doing something wrong? Or is it no longer on Amazon Kids? Thanks!

BBC iPlayer has all episodes and specials. My kids are 10 and 7 and they still love Numberblocks!

The whole lot is on BBC iplayer.

Thanks, yes I've been told about BBC already but someone said it's all on Amazon Kids as well? Is that the case?

Don't believe so. Why did you subscribe to Amazon Kids for it in the first place when you could stream it for free on iPlayer?

StillWantingADog · 17/09/2023 09:47

Why are you looking on Amazon when it’s free on iplayer?

It's only free to watch in iPlayer if you have a TV license.

FedUpMumof10YO · 17/09/2023 09:50

I can't see either on Prime.

Exactly this. I don't have a TV licence as I never watch TV (as in I stream on Netflix and Prime, but don't watch regular TV). Haven't bothered with a TV licence for years, and this is the first time I've found it an issue.

It's not free on iPlayer. You have to pay for a TV licence to use iPlayer. I don't have a TV licence, so an Amazon Kids subscription is far cheaper than that! Thankfully I had a month's free trial on Amazon Kids so can just cancel.

It's on you tube

The shop CEX has the DVDs (various volumes) for about a fiver.

Thanks - ended up forking out for a TV licence. Most expensive number blocks ever! 🙈

Tbf, number blocks, alpha blocks and educational stuff is the one thing the BBC does that is actually worth paying for.

Yep agreed! I've managed to not bother with TV for years but this has convinced me!

@surreygirl1987 pretty much everything on Cbeebies and CBBC is worth the license fee*.
Enjoy
