Premise

BabyRiki provides edutainment to 0–3 year olds to teach them brand new things, helping them learn and grow. The BabyRiki characters interact with their environment with an age-appropriate view of the world, finding adventures and new discoveries in everyday objects. A narrator, serving as their mother figure, interacts with the viewers and characters.

Characters

The characters are based on the Kikoriki characters.

Krashy – A blue bunny who is a born leader, that is optimistic, enthusiastic, social, communicative, and curious. He is based on the Kikoriki character Krash.

Chichi - A magenta hedgehog that is serious and diligent little boy. He loves order and quiet games. He builds the highest pyramids and always puts his toy cars away in their garage. He is based on the Kikoriki character Chiko.

Wally – A lavender sheep that is shy and sensitive. He is based on the Kikoriki character of the same name.

Rosy – A pink pig that loves to be in charge, and often seeks attention in whatever way she can. She is based on the Kikoriki character Rosa.

Pandy – A panda that is like a small hurricane tied up with a big bow! Pandy is smart, witty, cheerful — and crafty; always with a cunning plan.
