The shows will look to celebrate community, song and the formative relationships in little ones' lives.

Carrington said, "I am thrilled that CBeebies is able to attract outstanding talent and expertise to work with us. Young children will be captivated by these three new series which have been created to support their personal development and inspire their creativity and sense of fun."

Carrie & David's Popshop is an interactive music show with a difference presented by Carrie and David Grant of the BBC's Fame Academy.

David and Carrie have a Popshop – the best song shop in the world! Every day, a customer calls into the shop in need of a song and with some help from Riff the dog, CBeebies and the viewers singing along at home, they create and perform a brand new original pop song.

Another show is called Grandpa In My Pocket. Take one seriously grumpy Grandpa and his imaginative seven-year old grandson, Jason Mason. Give Grandpa a magic shrinking cap and watch him turn into the biggest kid of the lot!

In this series Jason's Grandpa can make himself small enough to hide in all sorts of unlikely places. When he's small he's great fun to be with, but full of mischief. The show explores the hugely important relationship between grandchildren and grandparents by turning it on its head. Jason and Grandpa's adventures will be fantastical, touching and bizarre – but always hilariously funny.

3rd & Bird! is an animated series all about community. The series will be co-produced by CBeebies Productions and Little Airplane Productions using their own unique style known as photo-puppetry animation.

Each episode is filled with music and songs and features Samuel Lovebird, a young bird who is learning all about his family, his neighbours and his friends.
