Hasbro Launches ‘Learn with Peppa’Hasbro Launches ‘Learn with Peppa’

Hasbro has unveiled the first publishing lineup from “Learn with Peppa” – a new worldwide brand extension that builds on Peppa Pig’s alignment with learning. With help from early years specialists, the “Learn with Peppa” program’s learning framework includes seven categories that cover a broad mix of topics to help little ones understand the world around them: My Body, Creativity, Math, English, Emotions, Our World and Community.

The first Ladybird publishing launch will be available for families in the U.K. and many territories around the world starting this month, with additional books releasing throughout the year, offering more than 80 preschool titles across printed books and eBooks, along with physical and digital audio books. Through Ladybird’s initial product launch, young learners can enjoy phonics books in five levels, followed by novelty, board and activity books covering a range of early learning concepts. 

To support the brand extension, Hasbro has launched a dedicated “Learn with Peppa” website where consumers can find out more about the extension and help support children's learning journeys. Following the publishing roll outs, a series of new interactive content is expected to drop on YouTube as well. 

To further help preschoolers on their learning journey, Hasbro will launch an in-house developed learning app that will complement the series offered by Ladybird so children can enjoy them together and independently. For ages 3-5 and their grownups, the premium, subscription-based app will be focused on three main learning domains: Literacy, Math and Science. The app aims to help preschoolers embrace learning through exploration, creativity, humor and play, with activities that adapt to a child's experience and development.

We’re excited to see what the future has in store for ‘Learn with Peppa.’”
