We love watching our children be creative in their play, learning through creative activities and games - whether that's with those plastic block thingies, or engineering some massive train track design, or a humble piece of paper re-invented as a Christmas tree decoration. Ingenuity and making-it-up are two of the hallmarks of being a child!

Stephen Mangan is the voice of Olobob Top's narrator. But that's not all... He also provides voices for new characters the Olobobs create on the Olobob Top - and there are 52 stories, so we asked Stephen to provide 52 original character voices for the series! That's a whole lot of voices!

So what's it like performing for an animated TV show, using just your voice?

Well we wanted all the forest-dwelling characters in Olobob Top to be voiced by real, genuine children - because like the watching audience they have real, genuine children's voices. Of course Stephen Mangan voices the Narrator and all the created-characters, which the Olobobs make during each story, as we loved the idea he was a parental figure joining in their fun and games. But Tib, Lalloo, Bobble, Crunch, Lemon, Norbet, Deeno, and even Big Fish, are all voiced by children.

Olobob Top has launched in Japan! What exciting news, the title translates as オロボブ・トップ!

Take a look at this! It's a lovely Olobob Top cake created by Instagram shop @louisessweetmemoriescakes for one lucky child! We think it's amazing, and just hope it's made with the best bibbleberry jam... Thanks for sharing (the picture, if not the cake), and if you're reading this and fancy making your own Olobob cake please do send us a photo so we can salivate at the thought of noshing it. Nom nom!
