I'm Dan – Producer working in CBeebies and proud dad of a five-year-old daughter who watches CBeebies even when I'm not testing new programme ideas on her – so I hope that means we're doing something right!

Tom is able to create magic by doing sequences of cool-looking, simple, fun movements called 'Tree Fu'. Using Tree Fu, Tom is able to transform into a magical superhero, travelling to 'Treetopolis' - an enchanted, miniature world nestled in an ancient tree at the bottom of his garden. To help further with this, all of the spells from the TV shows are put in to Spell School in the Tree Fu Tom Adventures game environment via here: Using Webcam technology children can move to make Tree Fu magic and become the hero in amazing interactive action adventure stories with Tom and his friends. I felt that we should use the power of TV and the web to do something to support movement development at this critical time in their lives.

I'm very pleased and proud to be able to say that Tree Fu Tom, the show I have been working on for the best part of five years, is soon to launch on the CBeebies channel.

We think Tree Fu Tom will be unlike anything you've ever seen before on CBeebies or anywhere on Children’s TV. Best of all is to hear that children are copying the movements! Better still if they are practicing the moves and incorporating them in to their play as repetition is key to getting maximum developmental benefit. What the children won't know is that the 'Tree Fu' spell moves they're copying have all been designed by Child Occupational Therapists and Physiotherapists from the movements that experts use to help children with conditions like Dyspraxia to assist and enhance the development of all participating children (whether they have movement challenges or not). Summary: Tree Fu Tom Complete. A boy goes to the woods behind his house and enters a magical world, where he becomes a superhero.

In every adventure there are critical moments when Tom's normal action and magic skills are not enough to overcome the challenges that he and his friends face. The experts always say that repetition is one of the most important things, so keep watching and encouraging your children to do Tree Fu with Tom and beyond! I was inspired to create Tree Fu Tom because I found out that many children today are not being exposed to or experiencing the full range of movements they need to develop typically.
