Monster Makes

Hosted by CBeebies favourite Rebecca Keatley and the lovable Murphi, an animated monster with a penchant for inventive creations, Monster Makes is a burst of creativity for pre-schoolers.

The new dual live action and animation series is commissioned by BBC Children’s and Education for CBeebies and produced by Terrific Television with animation provided by A Productions.

Fun and furry, Murphi’s simple ethos – that anyone can make something brilliant with a bit of monster magic – is at the heart of each episode. The show champions sustainability by promoting the reuse and recycling of everyday materials.

Murphi is created using a fusion of 3D CG animation and puppetry, which allows him to exist physically in his art studio while expanding into animated sequences when his imagination takes over. Murphi can even change shape into everything from a tissue box to a ball of wool.

Monster Makes received a 3-star Albert certification, a measure of environmental sustainability credentials with recycled and reclaimed materials prioritised for props and builds, and repair and adaptation favoured over replacement.

Monster Makes launched on CBeebies in 2026 and is now available to stream via BBC iPlayer.
