‘Timmy Time’: the English cartoon series for preschoolers that you should not lose sight of

When we have children or children at home, it is normal for us to know all those animation drawings that are in fashion at the moment. While it is not good for children to spend many hours in front of screens, such as those of mobile phones, television or electronic tablet, we can allow them at least thirty minutes a day to enjoy a few moments of controlled fun .

Therefore, we should not use animation drawings for television as a way to keep children entertained and spend a lot of time in front of them, but rather they should be another form of fun such as painting, playing with their toys or being in the park. Activities that we do with them and that they know we are there for when they need it.

One such popular series today is ‘Timmy Time’ . If your child goes to school, his friends will probably also talk about these cartoons and also want to have the backpack, toys or accessories from this series. Find out who Timmy is, the main character of ‘Timmy Time’ (called ‘Timmy and his friends’ in our country) and what is the secret of his success around the world.

THE ‘TIMMY TIME’ SERIES

These animated television cartoons were born in England by Jackie Cockle and Aardman Animations. Its chapters were broadcast for the first time in the United Kingdom in 2009 and later in the rest of the countries of the world, its last chapter being created in 2012, but with episodes on the air still today.

The success of the ‘Timmy Time’ series is that it is a sequel to the film starring Shaun the sheep . The main character, Timmy, is the little cousin of the famous movie sheep. The original sheep movie was a huge success around the world as well, with that success being passed on to little Timmy as well.

The animated television series is intended for a very young audience, since the main sheep is only three years old and the chapters are really short . Of 10 minutes each, Timmy the sheep tells of his adventures in preschool and does not have any dialogue, like the Shaun the sheep movie, making only the music and the sounds of the animals give free rein to a dialogue imagined by small viewers.

THE SECRET OF THE SUCCESS OF THIS SERIES FOR CHILDREN

‘Timmy Time’ is a series designed for the smallest of the house, so it is normal that children from six years of age no longer feel so identified with it, although some may even still like it.

This is because the main character is a 3-year-old sheep, which is going to school for the first time . Children between 3 and 5 years old will probably be reflected in this situation, since it is during this period that they also go to kindergarten or the first years of school for the first time.

During the introductory music of all the episodes we can see how the mother says goodbye crying to her little one since it is the first times they have separated, but Timmy is happy to go to class, something that is very positive for the little ones House understand that going to school can be fun for them. Also, Timmy is a very positive kid who likes to have fun with his friends, who are different types of animals, which encourages diversity.

Thus, they are cartoons focused on the children’s first days of school, the good integration in the school environment, the desire to learn and the positivism of a funny and mischievous sheep that enjoys crafts and everything that they have to teach him. The drawings without dialogue help the little ones in the house use their imagination to understand what is happening, but at the same time understand and enjoy the adventures of Timmy Time.
