Tree Fu Tom is also a fully multiplatform production which means it comes with an amazing online experience through which children can enter the magical world of Treetopolis. I'm Dan – Producer working in CBeebies and proud dad of a five-year-old daughter who watches CBeebies even when I'm not testing new programme ideas on her – so I hope that means we're doing something right!

What the children won't know is that the 'Tree Fu' spell moves they're copying have all been designed by Child Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists from the movements that experts use to help children with conditions like Dyspraxia to assist and enhance the development of all participating children (whether they have movement challenges or not). Take a look at our ‘Behind the spells’ film to see how we made the Big World Magic spell movement sequences:Thanks very much for all of your comments; it’s very interesting and exciting to hear what you think about the show (good and bad!) and how you and your children are engaging with Tree Fu Tom.

In a nutshell, Tree Fu Tom is an epic, comedy, fantasy, action-adventure series following the amazing adventures of a young boy from our world called Tom. Using Webcam technology children can move to make Tree Fu magic and become the hero in amazing interactive action adventure stories with Tom and his friends. The show may surprise little ones – so if you do have younger children, you may want to watch the first episodes with them to talk about how exciting it is. I was inspired to create Tree Fu Tom because I found out that many children today are not being exposed to or experiencing the full range of movements they need to develop typically.The movements are designed to teach children new skills and help them improve their abilities in foundation movements essential for all complex movement – anything from learning to write to playing football. We think Tree Fu Tom will be unlike anything you've ever seen before on CBeebies or anywhere on Children’s TV. Tom is able to create magic by doing sequences of cool-looking, simple, fun movements called 'Tree Fu'. Using Tree Fu, Tom is able to transform into a magical superhero, travelling to 'Treetopolis' - an enchanted, miniature world nestled in an ancient tree at the bottom of his garden. I'm very pleased and proud to be able to say that Tree Fu Tom, the show I have been working on for the best part of five years, is soon to launch on the CBeebies channel. I felt that we should use the power of TV and the web to do something to support movement development at this critical time in their lives.
