==Other ventures== ===CBeebies website=== {{see also|BBC Online}} The CBeebies website coincided with the launch of the UK channel on 11 February 2002 and showcases a child friendly site with activities themed to various CBeebies programmes, past and present, with games, songs and print-outs featuring for nearly all the shows. The [[United Kingdom]] version also features links to [[BBC iPlayer|CBeebies iPlayer]], a child friendly version of the [[BBC iPlayer]] site or app featuring CBeebies programmes only, to CBeebies radio player and a dedicated micro site containing advice for raising children and toddlers called CBeebies Grown-ups, which was relaunched in 2011.<ref>{{cite web|title=CBeebies Website Home Page|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/cbeebies/|access-date=11 October 2009|publisher=BBC}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.tribuneindia.com/2002/20020610/login/cyber.htm|title=BBC's CBeebies|date=10 June 2002|work=[[The Tribune]]|access-date=11 October 2009}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|date=15 February 2002|title=Beeb's a Boon for the Kids|work=The [[Daily Mirror]]|location=London, UK|url=https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/archive/web-gadets/2002/02/15/beeb-s-a-boon-for-the-kids-115875-11620677/|url-status=dead|access-date=11 October 2009|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110605024710/https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/archive/web-gadets/2002/02/15/beeb-s-a-boon-for-the-kids-115875-11620677/|archive-date=5 June 2011}}</ref> The international channels and associated websites are run by [[BBC Studios]]. As a result, not all of them are the same and some channels have less extensive websites than other services. CBeebies channels in [[Asia]], Australia, Poland, South Africa and the USA all have their own international variant. ===VHS and DVD releases=== [[BBC Video]] (and later [[2Entertain]]) have released several VHS/DVD compilations featuring shows airing on CBeebies at the time. As of 2014, [[Abbey Home Media]] releases the compilations. {| class="wikitable" !VHS or DVD title !Release date !Programmes and Episodes |- | ''CBeebies: The Best of Pre-School Television'' | style="text-align:center;" |28 October 2002 | style="text-align:center;" | Fimbles: Tambourine, Tweenies: Invitations, Bill and Ben: Around and Around, Andy Pandy: A Noisy Supper, Teletubbies Everywhere: Ice Skating (Finland) |- | ''Playtime: Introducing Tikkabilla'' | style="text-align:center;" |4 October 2004 | style="text-align:center;" |Tikkabilla in a 45-minute special, Bill and Ben: Go Fly a Kite/A Piece of Sky, Tweenies: Champions, Yoho Ahoy: Pancake with Poop/Paint with Booty, Little Robots: A Bit of Give and Take/By Myself, Andy Pandy: Rub-A-Dub/Potato Prints NOTE: This VHS/DVD also has the Andy Pandy song Honey in it, which comes after Rub-A-Dub. |- | ''CBeebies: The Ultimate Party Collection'' | style="text-align:center;" |16 April 2007 | style="text-align:center;" |Big Cook Little Cook: Postman, Bobinogs: Happy Bobi-Birthday, The Roly Mo Show: Little Bo's Birthday, Higgledy House: Birthday, Charlie and Lola: This is Actually My Party, Tweenies: Fizz's Birthday, Balamory: The Lost Letter, The Koala Brothers: Penny's Birthday Surprise, Fimbles: Party Hat, Lunar Jim: Jim's Birthday Surprise, LazyTown: Miss Roberta, Me Too: Disco Taxi |- | ''CBeebies: The Ultimate Summer Collection'' | style="text-align:center;" |16 July 2007 | style="text-align:center;" |Balamory: Beach Bonanza, Fimbles: Seashell, Boogie Beebies: Dancing on the Sand, The Koala Brothers: Lolly's New Flavour, Tweenies: Summer, Me Too: The Juicer, Little Robots: Under the Stars, Higgledy House: Holiday, The Roly Mo Show: Too Hot, Big Cook Little Cook: Holiday Maker, Charlie and Lola: The Most Wonderfullest Picnic in the Whole Wide World |- | ''CBeebies: The Ultimate Christmas Collection'' | style="text-align:center;" |12 November 2007 | style="text-align:center;" |LazyTown: Surprise Santa, Boogie Beebies: I Wish it Would Snow, Balamory: Panto, Fimbles: Tune, Lunar Jim: Too Many Fluffies, Charlie and Lola: Snow is my Favourite and My Best, Big Cook Little Cook: Father Christmas, The Roly Mo Show: Too Cold, Tikkabilla: Christmas Special, Tweenies: White Christmas |- | ''CBeebies: Get Set Go!'' | style="text-align:center;" |21 July 2008 | style="text-align:center;" |Boogie Beebies: Sporty Boogie Charlie and Lola: I Am Really, Really, Really Concentrating, Me Too: Sports Day, The Large Family: The Big Race, Tweenies: Fast and Slow, LazyTown: Sports Day, Little Robots: Good Sport Sporty, Higgledy House: Fitness, The Koala Brothers: George's Big Race, Balamory: Fun Run |- | ''CBeebies: Bedtime'' | style="text-align:center;" |20 October 2008 | style="text-align:center;" |Charlie and Lola: I Am Not Sleepy and I Will Not Go to Bed, Fimbles: Moon, Me Too: I Want to Say Goodnight, Teletubbies: Putting Angus to Bed, Jackanory Junior: The King of Capri, The Roly Mo Show: Sweet Dreams, Little Robots: Sweet Dreams Scary, Balamory: Bedtime, Tweenies: Sleepover, Charlie and Lola: Can You Maybe Turn the Light On? |- | ''CBeebies: Big Fun Time'' | style="text-align:center;" |16 February 2009 | style="text-align:center;" |Harry and Toto: Stop and Go, Brum: Airport Adventure, Little Robots: Metal Makes Us Special, LazyTown: Little Sportacus, Lunar Jim: Rover's Big Dig, Higgledy House: Babysitting, Charlie and Lola: I Want to Be Much More Bigger Like You, The Large Family: Elephants Never Forget, Tweenies: When I'm Older, The Koala Brothers: Mitzi's Busy Day, Boogie Beebies: Roll Up, Roll Up, Tommy Zoom: Confidence, Me Too: Smiles and Frowns |- | ''CBeebies: Discover + Do'' | style="text-align:center;" |25 May 2009 | style="text-align:center;" |Get Squiggling: Bloodhound, Tikkabilla: Dressing up and Houses, Teletubbies: Bubble Pictures, Balamory: Treasure Hunt, Charlie and Lola: I wish I could draw exactly like you, Boogie Beebies: Building, Tweenies: Growing Bulbs, Big Cook Little Cook: Explorer, Fimbles: Cardboard Box |- | ''CBeebies: Greatest Hits!'' | style="text-align:center;" |26 April 2010 | style="text-align:center;" |Teletubbies: Follow My Leader, Balamory: Disco, Charlie and Lola: I Can Dance Like a Dancer, The Roly Mo Show: Making Music, 3rd and Bird: A Chorus for Us!, LazyTown: Rockin Robbie, Tweenies: Favourite Songs, Harry and Toto: Quiet and Loud, Boogie Beebies: Baby Boogie, Little Robots: The Sound of Music, Fimbly Songtime: Fimble Dance, Tommy Zoom: Boyz Noise, Big Cook Little Cook: Pop Star, The Koala Brothers: Josie's New Tune, Dirtgirlworld: Creepy Crawly Concert |- |} ===Album releases=== Five CBeebies-branded CDs have been released, 'CBeebies: The Official Album' in 2002, 'My CBeebies Album' in 2006, 'My CBeebies Album (Christmas Edition)' in 2007, 'CBeebies: Song Time' in 2010, and 'CBeebies: The Album' in 2012.{{citation needed|date=June 2020}} ===CBeebies Land=== CBeebies Land opened in May 2014.

It offers various indoor and outdoor activities aimed at making an immersive and interactive world for children and young families. The site based within [[Alton Towers Resort]] in [[Staffordshire]] includes some of the more popular characters from the original channel for guests to meet. Described as a 'fun environment for pre-schoolers to play and learn' by critics.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://press.altontowers.com/news-alton-towers-resort-to-launch-world%E2%80%99s-first-ever-cbeebies-land-as-merlin-and-bbc-worldwide-link-up-11807 |title=Alton Towers Resort Press Centre |publisher=Press.altontowers.com |access-date=6 June 2014 |archive-date=7 November 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211107020611/http://press.altontowers.com/news-alton-towers-resort-to-launch-world%E2%80%99s-first-ever-cbeebies-land-as-merlin-and-bbc-worldwide-link-up-11807 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Before CBeebies Land, Alton Towers did not have enough rides suitable for young children and since opening, CBeebies Land now makes visiting the amusement park exciting for younger children. At the start of the year, the theme park sporadically released information on the characters involved in the development via their Facebook and Twitter accounts. * On 4 January, Mr Tumble was the first character confirmed β featuring in the Something Special Sensory Garden<ref>{{cite web|title=CBeebies Land β Tijdlijnfoto's|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=273942372756982&set=a.248088802009006.1073741828.210110529140167&type=1|access-date=6 June 2014|via=Facebook}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=June 2024}} and 5 January saw Mr. Bloom confirmed as featuring in the development in the form of Mr Bloom's [[Allotment (gardening)|Allotments]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=273949832756236&set=a.248088802009006.1073741828.210110529140167&type=1 |title=CBeebies Land β Tijdlijnfoto's |via=Facebook |access-date=6 June 2014}}</ref>{{Primary source inline|date=June 2024}} * On 6 January, the park revealed an [[In the Night Garden...]] redesign of their existing Riverbank Eyespy.
