Airing on CBeebies and CBC Kids

Every day is a new playtime adventure...

Dylan’s Playtime Adventures follows Dylan, a stripey dog who lives in a stripey lighthouse in Buttercup Meadow.

In every episode, Dylan takes on a new career – Doctor, Pizza Chef, Hair Stylist, Sea Captain – and invites his friends Ozzy, Daisy, Bitsy, and the viewers at home to play along with him. Ready with a regular household object, his trusty wagon, and his signature imagination, Dylan and his glowing stripes transform the meadow into anything from a hotel to a space station! Who wants to play? Everyone!

Produced and developed by our 9 Story Family and animated here at Brown Bag Films in partnership with Warner Bros. Discovery and CBC Kids, Dylan’s Playtime Adventures is based on the Scholastic book series by bestselling author/illustrator Guy Parker-Rees

Dylan’s Playtime Adventures features both 2D and CG animation and follows a highly imaginative, multi-colored striped dog who is eager to role-play every career, from a doctor to a hair stylist to a sea captain. With just some basic props and some great friends, Dylan transforms the ordinary into the extraordinary, jumping feet first into every adventure that comes his way.

Dylan’s Playtime Adventures was developed and produced in house by the Toronto arm of 9 Story's Creative Affairs Division. The charming show also marks an innovative milestone for our Brown Bag Films pipeline, being the first 2D/CG series to be animated out of both our Toronto and Bali locations and showcasing the collaborative work of our talented team. From the extraordinary storytelling to the vibrant animation, every detail of this series has been carefully curated to tickle the hearts and minds of children everywhere.

The series first aired on CBC Kids on April 1, 2024.
