Gecko's Garage is a British animated children's television series about a friendly gecko car mechanic named Gecko who helps vehicles, robots, and others who need a helping hand. In addition to entertaining its target audience of children aged 2–5, it also aims to help children develop cognitive skills such as colours, shapes, and numbers.[1] Part of YouTube's Toddler Fun Learning channel, the show is presented on YouTube, Peacock, Amazon Prime Video, and other streaming services.[2]

History[edit]

In 2012, husband-and-wife team Amalie and Christian Hughes of Wirral in northwest England, near Liverpool, developed The Toddler Fun Learning channel to host the educational videos they created for their own 2-year-old, with the key series being Gecko's Real Vehicles.[3] In February 2019 Moonbug Entertainment purchased the Toddler Fun Learning channel, including Gecko's Garage.[4][5]

In July 2021, NBCUniversal's streaming platform Peacock aired the first season of six episodes.[6][7][8]

Actor Martin Dickinson performs the voice of Gecko.[9] Before that, Gecko's voice was performed by Christian Hughes.[10]
