 Synopsis

Play School was an iconic educational programme for preschool children, which screened for over 15 years from 1975. The Play School format included songs, a story, craft, a calendar, a clock and a look outside Play School via the shaped windows. But the toys Big Ted, Little Ted, Jemima, Humpty and Manu were the real stars of the show. The title sequence and music were a call to action that several generations of New Zealanders still instantly recognise.
