Say hello
Meet Chip & Willow.
Two curious best friends who can’t wait to find out what’s happening on the farm today.
Chip
Yellow shirt, big grin, always first to say “let’s go!”
Chip leads the way into every adventure. He’s cheerful, curious and loves a challenge, whether that’s a muddy pig or a tricky word.
Willow
Pigtails, blue dungarees, never misses a thing.
Willow notices the little details: a missing letter, a hidden shape, an animal that needs a hand. She makes every discovery feel like a big one.
Learning, disguised as fun
Every adventure hides a lesson.
Children don’t sit through a lesson on Farm Blocks. They race pigs, wash muddy animals and sing along, and pick up letters, numbers and new words on the way.

For the grown-ups
Children watch it. You choose it.
We know you’re the one deciding what goes on the screen, so we made Farm Blocks the kind of show we’d want our own children to watch. No judgement, no guilt, just good old-fashioned children’s entertainment, made for today.

The look
A wooden toy farm come to life.
Farm Blocks looks like the painted wooden playset you might find at Grandma’s house: chunky, tactile and full of colour. We kept the visible edges and painted textures on purpose, so the world feels handmade, timeless and familiar.
- Painted wood with soft, toy-like edges
- Bright, friendly colours children love
- Warm daylight that feels calm and safe
- Simple, cut-out characters that are easy to recognise

Characters, animals and sets are designed and built in 3D to look like real wooden toys.
