Each episode of the second series will follow a child as they do something new for the first time; from baking a cake to visiting a castle, exploring caves and gazing into space.

The series has been filmed so that viewers share in these events and the company hopes that each 11-minute episode will spark conversation between parents and children as they too, prepare to undertake 
new experiences of their own.

Series producer Paul McCoy said: “It’s been great to work with CBeebies on another season of My First. We’re committed to giving children a voice and the audience can watch these exciting moments unfold.

“We have been very privileged to work with such a diverse range of children. I can’t thank the families enough for welcoming us into their homes and for everyone else who helped make this series possible.”
