I love that I can watch it with my son and know the songs and characters still from when I watched it as a kid!
I love all the songs that get my young son excited and capture his attention
The songs, the stories, the activities – what’s not to love!!!!
It’s just so happy and colourful and gives great ideas for things to do with the kids!
They make learning fun and my son like many others love Playschool! We love guessing which window will it be today? When my son guesses right he gets so excited!
Both my kids aged 4 and 2 are quite when little ted is on his big adventure. The songs are always easy to sing along with
I’ve loved Play School since I can remember! I love the stories, songs, pretend play, creating things, and of course, it being Australian! They’re normal people who I can relate to, not famous, well-known actors, so they make the show fun and enjoyable! Would love to see them live with my kids!
We always perk up when we see the cheerful actors and their awesome crafts and catchy songs
The kids love play school and would love to see it live….as would mum 🙂
Fun to see my kids interact with the show as i remember doing as a kid
I love the bright colours, fun songs, all the presenters, simple things to make and never a concern that it will be offensive
I love that nothing they make is the perfect, but the kids just don’t care.
I love the presenters and how well they are able to relate to the little ones and what they get up to
I love how engaging the presenters are and the wonderful multicultural range of activities they do.
I love that play school is still going after soo many years. With the same classic songs that we sang when we were little, mixed with new songs.. They know how to engage the audience, teaching them things don’t have to be perfect or the same. Help kids to use their imagination and creative sides. Just Love it!!
Playschool was something that I grew up with and adored and my daughters are sharing that same love and experience too! It is multi-generational…
I love the look on my twin Great Granddaughters faces when they are watching “Play School”. It is so rewarding to see them engrossed totally.
big ted, hes the best bear around
The children love play school,the same as my kids did.
the jumping, laughter & singing coming from my lounge room!
We love the presenters, the songs, the colours and the crafts. Best show on the kids channel and still going strong after so many years!!
What better gift for child than the joy of playing, learning and pretending.
It’s fun AND it’s educational. My kids both actually ASK to watch it 🙂 Makes me happy that they’re encouraged to sing, dance, play & get crafty too.
The songs, the pace, the games we can play together after watching
That my daughters love it l. That they learn good things from it and that I catch myself watching it even when they walk away lol. That it was around when I grow up and they still do similar segments
I have fond memories of watching Playschool while cuddled up to my mum and now I get to do the same with my son. He loves it when they sing and when hey do any sort of painting. He loves painting!
Play School is an Australian icon….I love how I have seen firstly my younger brother then my own children and now my grandchildren.all be entertained and educated through it…..a show that superbly targets cognitive development….and it’s inclusive style is magic….even I get caught up in it……love trying to guess what window we are looking through today
Alex Papps. He makes my day. Oh, the kids love Play School too!
Very educative, fun and kids love everything about it
I love how much your little ones can learn by watching it!
I love that they don’t just do art/craft or just read/tell stories or play with the toys or cook, etc. They do all of these things and more, so there is something on Play School for every child to enjoy.
Play school is always entertaining, singing, dancing, craft, cooking, make believe, stories – there is always something to catch their attention. My daughter and I enjoy trying to guess which window we will be going through each day!
My son loves cars a little too much, but I’m so chuffed as he’s taken an interest in Play School and wants to eat what they eat and make craft. It’s such a wonderful kids show and I don’t tire of watching it either.
I love that it engages my boys and teaches them new things and also that they show real kids doing things as well
My kids love the singing, dancing and making stuff.
I love how enthusiasts the host are and how it engages my sons attention which is no small feat!
Have watched play school for a very long time with my older children, youngest child and now my grandchildren. It has always been very entertaining , educational and lots of fun. A timeless format that works exceptionally well.
We love Playschool! My daughter loves singing and dancing along, and loves trying the recipes and craft activities. Really impressed with the introduction of basic science in the new episodes. The best bit is that they don’t edit/re-take for mistakes – sets a fantastic example for kids, that you don’t worry and just keep going!
A timeless show that I love watching with the kids as reminds me of my childhood. Happy with the addition of Eddie also. 😉
Re-living my childhood watching playschool with my daughter
I love that it’s all educational, lots of colour and movement. And of course I love that my kids love it – my two go crazy when the intro music begins.

When Play School is on its the only 30 minutes i get to sit down to a HOT coffee in the day!
I love watching Play School with my children. It’s a wonderful show with amazing hosts. It’s fun and educational and provides lots of ideas for for activities we can try at home together.
The show always grabs my little boys attention with their wonderful songs
I love that my kids get to grow up watching a show that has been around since I was a kid. I love that it starts teaching kids in such a colourful and entertaining way. My son is always singing songs he has learnt from Play School
I have beautiful memories of watching Playschool with my Nan and I love that the show hasn’t
changed a whole lot since then. Educational and fun – we love it!
As soon as Play School comes on the T.V. my daughter is immediately fixated. I am glad that she loves it as much as I did as a child and it’s a great educational tool to help her build an understanding of her world.
I watched play school as a child and I love that my children are now watching it too… Educational and interactive – we love guessing which window will it be today!
Play School has been apart of my family since I was a child, an ongoing tradition,everyone loves it.
Play School always provides fun songs and dances, as well as cool crafty activities to try at home, and has been a fun and educational part of my family since I was a child, so it’s great to now be able to share it with my daughter.
I love how it inspires me to get more creative with my kids and it’s just a good wholesome show
It’s live action, instead of cartoons; there isn’t too much gender-specific content; We have done quite a few craft activities based on Play School activities.
awesome educational fun show always teaching something new
I love that all of the fun and learning is done using items made out of ordinary household items so it means we can recreate some ideas at home to continue the exploration!
years and years of fun that i enjoyed as a kid and now mine enjoy!
We LOVE play school! I love that it is simple, imaginative, and creative. All values I want my children to have. I love that it’s safe entertainment as well!
My girls love Play School and I do too! It’s something that we sit down and watch together and it gives us lots of ideas for crafts and activities that we then do ourselves.
Play school has always been there to entertain the little ones, I can rely on it to be the sort of programme I want my kids to watch, to learn and grow with entertainment and information they can understand
The proof is in the longevity and since I remember watching it as a kid, that is proof enough. Love the imaginative play that this show embraces.
Love that it is educational
Play school teaches so many good things in a fun and playful way – thats why fits our favourite show for the kids.
The songs, the fun, the learning, the characters!
We went to last years Playschool concert, my daughter was super excited along with all the other kids and just before the concert started she copped a little boys head to the nose and ended up with a nosebleed, we ran to the bathrooms and cleaned her up just before the concert started! Hopefully can take her again and it won’t be so traumatic this time!! She loves Playschool, always a good show.
It makes learning fun
Playschool’s great – their “make do” costumes from whatever they have lying around, craft activities that are held together with sticky tape – it sets a reasonable bar for us parents to live up to 🙂 and teaches kids to use their imagination (not that mine need much help with that – they spent the better part of the morning playing “trains” with 2 plastic coat hangers…).
Playschool playschool is a great show , it has something for all,ages my school age son will sit down with his toddler sister and they watch it and laugh and sing together
Both kids are still rapt with Play School – I still remember watching it as an adult – John Hamblin was hysterically funny…
Best kids show EVER. I loved it as a child and both my kids adore it…….even my 8 year old still watches and loves it when it’s on and she’s home
I loved paly school as a kid esp when i got to see them live so would love for my son to experience it aswell. I love how they make things and do lots of art and crafts
I grew up with Play School and now my grandson does too. Love all the art & craft activities they do
Play school is great for my 3 year old to watch. It is very educational, encourages imaginative play and educated with music and fun.
50 years! Wow! I still remember going to see Play School live when I was about five and would love my sons to have the same great experience 🙂
My daughter loves play school. She sings, dances and repeats things that are said on the show. It was the first show that she would sit and watch all of it!
I love that Play School is still on tv for the kids of the new generation. My Kids watched this growing up now my grandkids watch it and love everything about the show…:) Keep up the great show…:)
I love it because my daughter loves it. She gets very excited and dances and sings along with them.
Eddie perfect is soo perfect and I love I get to share my childhood pastimes with my girls we all love plays hook the songs are they’re favourite
I love that Play School is just as good now as it was when I watched it as a child, a nice
show that keeps the kids entertained, learning and moving.
We love Play School for the varied content, mixed with old favourites. It’s a show you can talk to anyone about because everyone knows it!
I love the energy the hosts have, and how inclusive it is for all kids
there is always something in play school for any kid to love
Aside from the memories of growing up watching Play School myself, I love all the simple but super effective craft ideas and play acting to get my boys imagination flowing.
Play school is so much fun. Can’t wait to watch the enjoyment in my son and nieces faces.
I love that playschool is educational and my son loves the music he even loves reading playschool books as well.
I love that it’s educational and I don’t feel guilty putting it on for my daughter while i do the morning clean up
Play school classic formula of play and learning.. It would be my dream job!
Play School has a great balance of activities that interest our youngsters
My daughter has learnt something new from every single episode that she has watched. I appreciate that they specifically write each episode based around early childhood learning and none of it is “junk tv” which is brilliant!
I love the toys – humpy, big ted and jemima and my kids own them and love them too
Family tradition. 3 generations have been partly educated via Playschool. Future addition to our family will be too
Playschool is the most educational show on ABC for children – we love it!
Play School is, honestly and simply, good. Good humoured; good values; good educational experiences and most of all good fun.
It’s the one TV show that I am happy to let my girls watch, without feeling guilty of too much screen/TV time. We love play school in our household.
Play school’s song is catchy. The show itself is very educational, simple to understand and a lot of fun
We love Playschool for the imaginative play ideas, craft inspiration, and ‘fun food’ ideas. We live 100km from the closest town, so the Playschool Presenters are our daily playmates 🙂 There is also an ongoing game in our family to guess ‘Which window it will be today’, which is actually LOTS of fun!
I love that the craft they make is easy enough for MUMS to follow!! Very important when your child wants to make a Play School craft EVERY TIME THE SHOW FINISHES! 😀
I love that my kids love to watch it just like I did, and it’s still essentially the same.
I love that I use to watch it as a child now enjoy watching my son watch play school. It’s educational, interactive, gives me ideas for activities to do at home and best of all my son always gets excited and sings along to the song. When play school comes on I know I have time to get a few jobs done whilst he watches and plays along
My 2 year old daughter loves ‘Gemma’ (Jemima). She takes her Jemima doll everywhere with her. I love the craft and sensory ideas they have on the show and also their singing. We have the Playschool cd in the car and sing along all the time
My little boy runs to the telly when he hears Play School come on great presenters and songs and a great mix of interesting things for him to watch and join in with
Our three baby boys love Playschool they are all under three years of age and I love that they have the opportunity to grow up with such a great educational show that I grew up with and loved myself so much.
I loved Play School as a child & my my eldest son (now 18 years) loved it too. I took him approximately 16 years ago when it was touring. I remember John the most (probably his last tour) I remember him as a young man we I watched the show in the late 70’s. Now I have another son who now loves Play School too at age 2 years. I would really love to win tickets
My 2 year old loves all the songs and dancing but especially loves big ted. She also learnt her shapes from the windows and always looks forward to see which window is chosen for the day.
I love that play school encourages dance, singing, art making and a love of literacy. There’s a reason it’s been running for 50 years; the show is entertaining for both children and parents.
I have great memories of watching Playschool in my childhood, so would love to share that with my kids
my daughter loves play school and always loves to dance and sing with the songs and has made it part of her routine that we must watch play school
I just love Play school it’s been part of my family since I was a child. I know it so well that no when a scene plays I can almost tell what songs are going to cone on next
Both my kids love play school especially the sing song times. We have been before my son and I when he was 1 3 years ago but have never taken my 1 year old. She loves music.
The diversity of presenters on Play School is a big win as it teaches kids that we are all different and come from different backgrounds and cultures. The level of activities is also perfect for the age range of kids it targets and I find Play School doesn’t talk down or patronise kids. It’s one of the only few shows my 16 month old son actively watches and enjoys.
I love simplicity and the format. Real people, nursery songs, craft and creative imaginative play! Little bit of everything and not too much of anything – love it!
Sing Songs is my girl favourite. She would dance and sing together when the show starts.
I love how its fun and educational. My son loves it and copies everything they do : )
Wats not to love about playschool. I grew up with big ted and jemmima my kids grew up with George and Bettina now third generation grandchildren are loving playschool as well and I can stroll down memory lane when watching it with them
I have loved play school since I was a little girl. All the stories and craft is what I have always loved about it. Now I have children of my own, I’m loving that they love it too…craft and stories as well 🙂
I love that Playschool is fun!!!! And Australian! Parents can take growing up so seriously. When asked what she liked most about Play School, my 4 year old said the music and Big Ted.
I’m 60 and still sing the songs with my 3 grandkids just like when I was 26 and singing with my 2 daughters . It doesn’t matter what age you are, playschool is fun for everyone.
I love how much my 3 year old Gracie LOVEs Playschool! 29 mins of peace and quiet !!
they keep the children busy and entertaining and kids learn a lot. Even I find them interesting that I watch it with my kids 🙂
My little man just adores Playschool, it’s one of the only shows that he actively engages in. I love that the show is Australian. Bettina and Jemima hold a special spot in my own heart from childhood.
I love the fact that my son participates along with the presenters. He won’t do it with anyone else!
My Granddaughter and Grandson watch play school, they learn so many new things everyday, especially the dancing and the music , thanks for the chance 🙂
I love watching little Miss 2 who watches Jemima in rapture, giggles at big ted and dances along with the awesome presenters x i love that one of the presenters uses sign language and every ability is included x to take my beautiful girl to the show would make my heart burst, the doctors told us she wouldnt walk, eat or talk and she defied them all to dance, jump, sing and play x
Love the interaction, love the singing and dancing and the learning opportunities.
I love the sound of my little boy’s laughter and singing when he’s watching play school
My 2yo son is sitting laughing watching Play School as I type this. The interaction & learning aspect is wonderful. It’s the only show that holds his attention completely.
Simple singing,dancing and stories .Nothing over the top so children can relate to it.
My 3 year old loves play school. It gets his imagination working, he loves the singing and the dancing. Its a great show.
Love Play School, so educational, fun, singing and dancing, ideas. Great for kids, even great for parents to be inspirational and motivated to learn songs and dances with their kids. Great development opportunities and very interactive.
I love everything about play school, the singing and dancing, the experiments, cooking, imagination, sharing and I love the presenters ☺
I love the interaction between the tv and my little girl in the lounge room who’s copying what they’re doing on tv. I love that the songs are easy enough for adults and children to join in and I particularly like story time
I love the way playschool encourages my son’s imaginative play and teaches him songs and nursery rhymes
We always love trying to pick the right window and we love seeing what’s under the clock each day
Seeing new ideas for play and the way my son loves to copy and dance the actions when it’s on TV.
I love Playschool because It’s a show that spans over generations. It’s lovely to think that my child’s favourite show and character (Big Ted) were also mine as a child. It makes it very special and prove it stands the test of time.
My babies love playschool songs and craft
Fantastic interactive show for the kids, teaches basic life skills like colours, shapes, numbers. The kids love watching play school so a live show would be an amazing experience for them.
Shows kids how to play without the use of electronic devices & technology!
It’s still great for all young & old!
I love that Playschool gets kids up and dancing while being educational and fun!
It keeps my toddler occupied while I breastfeed the baby!
I love that my kids love playschool as much as I did when I was little (it wasn’t on 3 times a day back then though!)
my grandchildren love finding out which window they are going to look through
Love that I used to watch play school when I was a child and I’m 46!
I love that it is Australian made!
Great way to sing and craft idea and love cuddle we have when watch show
Play school is a place where my children grow through learning ,playing and reading.
It teachers children how to share, get along with other kids and prepares them for a school environment.
I like the way Play School uses common everyday items such as boxes, old containers, etc to make new toys. My granddaughter loves to dance to the music and sing along to the songs.
big ted, i adore him.
So engaging and educational. I find myself drawn in also.
Play School is truly an indomitable, iconic institution and national treasure; providing my children and grandchildren with entertainment, education, early development and fantastical fun from favourite Australian personalities for decades! My gorgeous granddaughter Audrina lives with Autism. Play School has truly helped Audrina recall and recite rhymes, routines and songs. I am forever indebted to the cast and crew involved in delighting my family for so many years, and for the help they have given Audrina. It would be a dream come true for Audrina to witness Big Ted, Little Ted, Humpty, Jemima and the gang on stage!
It’s so much fun! No other show can transfix my daughters like Playschool.
I loved Play School as a child and now my son loves it just as much as I did. It’s great that it’s ‘Australian Made’ also.
My boys love it.
I love watching playschool with my 3 children. They are learning things while having fun. I don’t feel guilty about letting them watch tv when its playschool!
We went last year when my son was 5. He didn’t blink the whole show, except when asked to participate.
Educational, fun stories, songs and memories! My kids and 3 year old nephew would love it see it
It makes education fun for children.
I love the creativity Play School encourages in my kids. I think they are finally old enough to go to a show now too!

I love that playschool is fun for kids of all ages and it helps their learning while still being fun.
Playschool is fun for the kids but also educational at the same time 🙂
An educational AUSTRALIAN show that always entertains my kids. They always have so much fun dancing to the cool songs and learning new things to create. Would love for them to enjoy a LIVE show!
It is Australian and I don’t feel like I am completely incompetent because the things they make are from around the house.
The WA state does not show for the competition that we can win tickets? this is which state I would like to win tickets for? I have sent an email/feedback form to your guys in regards to this???

Play school is a family tradition I grew up watching play school. I love that it is an Australian icon 🙂

I love it’s long lasting appeal. Example the guessing windows and clock time.
That it is all based around play based learning! Love it!
Fun but at the same time educational!
Love the educational aspect and that the content is play-based. It has certainly helped with speech development also.
Play School brings back many fond childhood memories and then being able to share it with my 5 beautiful children as babies and toddlers. Two who now have beautiful children of their own.
Fun yet educational at the same time, brings back childhood memories.

Play School has been around for so long. I remember watching it as a child and now my children watch it. I hope it’s still around when my grandchildren are born. I’m from WA can I still tickets because there was no option to click WA?

My 6 month old daughter loves the singing and dancing on Play School. She can’t stop wriggling on my lap while it’s on.
I was a Play School fan as a child & I love that I’m now able to share it with my own children.
Playschool has ever lasting memories when I was younger and I am so happy to see its still kicking on and my daughter finds it entertaining, engaging (and educational bonus) as much as I did (and still do!)
