  • The aim of the programmes is to encourage young children to question, to experiment and to communicate with confidence.
  • The question posed by the Hoobs at the beginning of each programme is the starting point.
  • It may be that the audience will already feel they know the answer (or think they know).
  • As the children become involved in watching and observing the Hoobs seek the answer, the children will learn things along the way - often without realising that they have!
  • The route taken to answer the question is as important as the final answer.

The Hoob News provides a recap of the journey - where we've been and what we've learned.

So the Hoobs are coming!
Watch out for them.
Any day now a Hoob could pop up from nowhere, ask you a question and want to be your friend.
With the Hoobs what starts as a simple question opens up new opportunities for fun and exploration.
Make friends with the Hoobs and you'll always want to find the answers.
A Hoob is a friend for life - the very best friend a child could ever have!
