Cuddlies

**The Cuddlies** (Known in Hebrew as **קטני** "Katanym") is a show on BabyTV which was aired in 2008. It was produced by Locomotion and Hands Up. Due to the channel introducing a lot of new shows, the show was discontinued in around October 2022 to January 2023.

## Synopsis

BabyTV’s favorite foursome, the “Cuddlies” present a series of entertaining stories from the world of the toddler. Join our charming friends and learn about co-operation, sharing and caring, as the foursome help each-other solve simple dilemmas in a delightful, and cooperative way.

## Attribute

Each member of the Cuddlies represents a different emotion often experienced in the life of a toddler. There’s Uh-Oh who has a natural fear of all the new things happening in his world, Yum-Yum who feels hunger, DoDo who often feels sleepy, and Tickles who is a bundle of happiness! These four characters allow toddlers to become familiar with different emotions and feelings.

## Tip

The loveable characters give the child the opportunity to relate to the feelings and situations shown in the episodes – happy like Tickles or hungry like Yum Yum. Talk to your child about feeling happy as opposed to sad or hungry as opposed to full and so on. When your child is apprehensive about something, talk to him or her about overcoming his or her fear like Uh-Oh does on the show.
