We were first introduced to the Numberjacks when Kidzone was on Freeview. Sadly it is no longer so we have bought all the DVDs that have been released. Seaside Adventure is different from the others, which are short episodes, it is one 45 minute long adventure.
The Numberjacks are responsible for my girls knowing all the numbers to ten before they turned three. The Numberjacks are all numbers so just as with any other programme they learn all the character's names this show has taught them what the numbers look like.
Seaside Adventure's main maths idea is that there are different ways of making the number ten. The Numberjacks pair up to make ten. This idea is more at my 4.5 year olds level. Her 3 year old sister still enjoys watching it for its entertainment.
I have heard of some children having nightmares about the meanies after watching it but I haven't found this with my girls. I recommend this and the other DVDs to friends with young children and they have all raved about it too. It is a fun way for children to learn basic numeracy skills.
Random listing from 'Entertainment'...
The WotWots are two fluffy alien adventurers who have landed in a local zoo and want to learn all they can about the animals who live there.
They discover all kinds of things in these eight adventures. They find out that some animals are good at hiding and that not all creatures have spots like them. They even discover that some creatures don't have soft fur at all - they have prickly spikes instead!
