Kikoriki

BabyRiki (Russian: Малышарики) is a Russian children's animated television series originated as a pre-school spinoff of Kikoriki.[3]

BabyRiki is an entertaining and educational 5-min animation series for preschoolers. Combining 3D CGI and live video, the series is conceived to develop the foundation of key skills such as communication, collaboration, creativity and critical thinking. The series promotes playful, positive and peaceful interactions with others. It offers a safe environment for children to make sense of the world around them by having experiences that allow them to explore, wonder and discover.

Season 1 takes place inside a nursery room which the characters explore.
