Lah-Lah’s Learning Adventures Has Arrived on YouTube

March 6, 2026

This week, Episode 2 of Lah-Lah’s Learning Adventures goes live and we are so excited to share this new series with you.

If you’ve known Lah-Lah from TV, you’ll recognise some of the magic we’re bringing across. Creating longer episodes like this feels like coming home for us, we’re back to scripting, storytelling, and building a full musical world inside each adventure.

And honestly? We’re having the best time.

Why YouTube (and Why Now)

YouTube isn’t just a “little screen” platform anymore. It’s quickly become one of the main places children watch their favourite characters and songs, often right there on the family TV.

Recent research shows YouTube is now the #1 platform for Gen Alpha, with 67% of 2–5 year olds watching on YouTube (and that rises to 78% for 6–9 year olds). Even more telling, 88% of parents say their 2–5 year old prefers YouTube over broadcast TV and traditional VOD platforms.*

And it’s not just kids watching alone. Over half of children watch YouTube on a television screen, and 55% of parents say they co-view YouTube with their kids.

That matters to us.

If families are gathering on the couch and watching YouTube together, we want to create content that feels worthy of that shared space, not only music videos (which we’ll always keep making), but also longer-form episodes with a story, a purpose, and musical moments that invite children to join in.

That’s exactly why Lah-Lah’s Learning Adventures exists.

What Happens in Episode 2?

This week’s adventure takes us somewhere very familiar…

To the farm.

Poor Old MacDonald can’t get any sleep. The animals are wide awake, singing, stomping, mooing and clucking their way into a very noisy night.

So Buzz and I head off to see if we can help calm things down.

Here’s how the episode unfolds.

We Start by Listening

At the very beginning of the episode, before the story even gets going, we pause and listen carefully.

What can we hear?

A cow mooing.

We tune in together and really notice the sound. Is it loud or soft? High or low? Long or short?

It might seem simple, but these little listening moments build something powerful, attention, sound awareness and early musical listening skills.

We’re helping children learn to focus their ears before we ask them to follow the story.

(Image suggestion: a still of Lah-Lah listening carefully, perhaps reacting to the cow.)

Off to the Farm

Buzz and I arrive to find the farm in full swing.

We sing favourites like Old MacDonald Had a Farm and Animals on the Farm, where the animals moo, cluck and neigh their way through.

It’s joyful.
It’s energetic.
Maybe just a little too energetic for bedtime.

The animals are having so much fun that sleep feels very far away.

Enter the Double Bass

And here’s where our new instrument comes in.

While the farm is busy singing and stomping and mooing, we spend some time with Old MacDonald and his double bass.

It’s such a beautiful instrument.

We talk about the low notes, those big, deep sounds that almost feel like a little rumble in your tummy. I love watching children’s faces when they hear it. It’s such a contrast to all the bright, busy farm noise.

We listen carefully.
We notice how different it feels.

There’s something grounding about low sounds.

At this stage in the story, it doesn’t fix anything yet. The farm is still wide awake. The animals are still having a wonderful time.

But that sound stays with us.

Story Time (My Favourite Part)

We made the most enormous red storybook… and I adore it.

During Story Time, Lah-Lah opens the big red book and reads an interactive story that helps us discover ideas for solving the problem of the day.

Children aren’t just listening, they’re thinking.

“What should we do?”
“What could happen next?”
“What if we tried this?”

It’s gentle creative thinking wrapped inside music and imagination.

(Image suggestion: close-up of the big red book — this could become a recognisable visual feature of the series.)

When poor Old MacDonald still can’t sleep, out comes the big red storybook.

We begin wondering together…

Maybe it’s not that the animals need to stop singing.
Maybe they just need a different kind of music.

It’s a gentle little shift.

Instead of more excitement, we try something slower. Lower. Softer.

And we return to those deep double bass notes.

You can almost feel the farm exhale.

It’s one of those moments where you see children recognise the difference. Not because we’ve explained it like a lesson but because they can hear it and feel it.

Craft With Lah-Lah

After the story, we make something together.

A simple craft that connects back to the episode, something little hands can try at home once the show finishes.

It’s our way of helping the adventure live beyond the screen.

Because the best moments aren’t just watched… they’re continued.

In Episode 2, our craft features the different animals from the story and songs and the places where they live.

Little ones colour in the animal sheets, then cut out the animals and their homes. We glue each one onto a paper cup, and then the real fun begins…

Which animal lives where?

Does the cow belong in the barn?
Does the chicken go in the coop?
Where does the horse sleep?

It turns into a lovely matching game and before you know it, children are sorting, thinking and talking their way through the farm.

And once everything is glued and ready, those little paper cups become props for storytelling.

Children can:

Match animal to home
Mix them up and correct them
Or make up their own farm adventures

I love crafts like this because they don’t end when the episode ends. They become part of play.

You might even like to pause the episode and create together.

Magic Mirror (A Little Nod to My Childhood)

Do you remember this show or am I really showing my age?

Magic Mirror is our little tip of the hat to Romper Room, a show I watched as a child. I remember waiting every week to see if my name would be called out.

In Magic Mirror, Lah-Lah looks through the mirror and says hello to children watching at home.

If you’d love your little one’s name included in an upcoming episode, send us a message on Instagram or Facebook, we would genuinely love to include them.

There’s something so wonderful about a child hearing their name spoken out loud.
