Nick Jr.'s Calvin and Kaison’s Play Power! centres around Aussie “unboxing” brothers Calvin (7) and Kaison (4), whose YouTube channel CKN Toys, which was launched in March 2015, has over 14 million YouTube subscribers and over 13 billion video views.
Following its debut in April 2020, Calvin and Kaison’s Play Power! will roll-out on both Nickelodeon-branded linear and digital platforms across Australia, the U.K., Asia, and Canada.
Jazwares are in the midst of launching a CKN Toys toy line, which infused with the brothers' contagious enthusiasm, globally. Authenticity and imagination reign supreme across the line featuring all their favourite ways to play through collectible figures, vehicles, play sets, compounds, a recognisable “Smasher” and more. The toys will then launch at to-be-named retailers in the U.S. this autumn (fall), and will also appear in Calvin and Kaisen’s upcoming YouTube content and their new short form series.

Nickelodeon Australia's new locally produced preschool series Calvin and Kaison’s Play Power! is set to premiere on Nick Jr. Australia in April 2020!
The series centres around Aussie “unboxing” brothers Calvin (7) and Kaison (4), whose YouTube channel CKN Toys, which was launched in March 2015, has over 14 million YouTube subscribers and over 13 billion video views.
“At Nickelodeon we take play seriously”, says Ben Cox, General Manager of Nickelodeon Australia & New Zealand (ANZ). “Play is fun and appealing to our preschool audiences and is also vital to early childhood development, which is why we chose to hero this message in Calvin and Kaison’s Play Power!”
“As children play, they develop critical cognitive, emotional, social, and physical skills. These skills children set the stage for future learning and success from the school classroom to the workplace,” says Catherine Sewell, Play Specialist.
"Stars of the popular channel, seven-year-old Calvin and his four-year-old brother Kaison have joined forces with Nickelodeon to create a short-form story-driven TV series that follows the duo on their play-ventures with best friend ROBO-G.
"Tapping into the popular unscripted, spontaneous and fun narrative style that has garnered CKN Toys a global following, each episode will see Calvin and Kaison embark on a play-venture in their Kid Cave, which is interrupted by a series of challenges including giant cakes, missing friends, playful monsters and out of control toys. In order to overcome these challenges, Calvin must transform into an everyday superhero and use his play power to save the day.
"As preschoolers follow along with Calvin and Kaison, they will experience the many benefits of play, including the development of creative thinking, problem-solving, emotional intelligence and communication skills."
Calvin and Kaison’s Play Power! will premiere on Nick Jr. Australia on Monday, April 20 at 9am. The series will also roll-out on both Nickelodeon-branded linear and digital platforms across Australia, the U.K., Asia, and Canada.

How young Aussie toy moguls Calvin and Kaison make millions and stay humble
They’re Australia’s biggest YouTube stars with 13 billion views and millions in the bank. But Calvin, 7, and Kaison, 4, say they have two good reasons to stay humble.
They’re Australia’s biggest YouTube stars with 13 billion views and millions in the bank. But Calvin, 7, and Kaison, 4, say they have two good reasons to stay humble. But Calvin and Kaison, two young siblings from Sydney, say despite fame and fortune, they have two very good reasons to keep a lid on it — their mum and dad. My parents always remind me that we are very lucky and I should always be humble, Calvin, 7, told Confidential. “My life is pretty normal, though, I just get to play with a few more toys.” The brothers have a YouTube channel called CKN Toys with 14 million subscribers — making it the most popular YouTube channel in Australia — where they star in videos playing with, and rating toys that are viewed by hundreds of millions of people. In total, their 650 videos have amassed 13 billions views, and using approximate online figures, 1 billion YouTube views is worth approximately $900,000 USD. Meanwhile, Calvin and Kaison, 4, will debut their own TV show, Calvin and Kaison’s Play Power, on Nickelodeon, available on Foxtel, today. Calvin said he and Kaison are grateful to have millions of followers and billions of views, but they don’t get caught up in the numbers. “We feel very lucky to have so many ‘fans’ all around the world,” Calvin said. “I don’t think about it that much, though. I just have fun doing what I do and making videos with my brother and dad.” Nickelodeon general manager Ben Cox said Play Power will move away from the “unboxing” concept that made the brothers famous, and “celebrate the power of play.” Each episode will see Calvin and Kaison embark on a play-venture which is interrupted by a series of challenges including giant cakes, missing friends, playful monsters and out of control toys. To overcome these challenges, Calvin transforms into an everyday superhero and uses his play power to save the day. Calvin told Confidential: “I hope kids and grown ups learn that play is not only fun, it also helps kids learn new things and make friends, which makes it very powerful.” For the record, his favourite toys are Marvel Avengers, Nerf, Fortnite figurines and, of course, the brother’s signature range of CKN toys. Play Power premieres on Monday at 9am on Nick Jr. available on Foxtel.

Jazwares has been named the master toy partner for the YouTube sensation CKN Toys in a new deal brokered by the licensing agency, Haven Global.
The hugely popular children’s YouTube channel CKN Toys, which has amassed 14.1 million subscribers, is in for a busy Easter — with a toy line and Nickelodeon series slated to drop concurrently!
CKN Toys, which launched in March 2015, features Aussie brothers Calvin (who is seven years old) and Kaison (four). Their inaugural toy collection will comprise collectible figures, vehicles, playsets, and more — all inspired by the duo’s most-watched, action-packed, unscripted content from YouTube, in which they unbox superhero toys, kids cars, construction kits, and more. The licensing deal was inked with consumer products maker Jazwares (which has previously collaborated with other digital stars), and struck by Haven Global — the licensing agent channel that reps CKN.
The product launch will coincide with a previously-announced, preschooler-aimed short-form series on Nickelodeon and Nick Jr., which is set to debut this Easter on both linear and digital platforms across Australia, the U.K., Asia, and Canada. The toys will then launch at to-be-named retailers in the U.S. next autumn (fall), and will also appear in Calvin and Kaisen’s upcoming YouTube content and their new short form series.
These mohawk rocking content creators have a contagious enthusiasm that has shaped the entire toy line. Authenticity and imagination reign supreme across the line featuring all their favourite ways to play through collectible figures, vehicles, play sets, compounds, a recognisable “Smasher” and more.
“Calvin and Kaisen are a very special new addition to our portfolio,” Laura Zebersky, Jazwares’ chief commercial officer, said in a statement. “Their adventurous spirit and unique way of connecting with kids around the world, made them a perfect fit. We’re thrilled to bring them to aisle globally in alignment with Nickelodeon’s content schedule.”
“We were impressed with Jazwares’ innovation, speed to market and intuition; Jazwares could see that CKN Toys was a huge success, and has since become the first of many partners on board” added Tom Punch, managing director for Haven Global, global licensing agent for CKN Toys. “The toy line looks amazing and is a uniquely collaborative effort between Jazwares and the two brothers, resulting in toys made by kids for kids.”
All told, CKN Toys counts 12 billion lifetime YouTube views and averages 86 million views per month in the U.S. — its largest market.

Nickelodeon Strikes Content Deal With Australian YouTube Kids Channel CKN Toys

A shortform preschool series for Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.-branded linear and digital platforms will be produced by Nickelodeon Australia and feature CKN stars Calvin and brother Kaison.
Nickelodeon has struck an exclusive multi-territory agreement with Australian YouTube sensation CKN Toys to develop original content for its branded linear and digital platforms as the Viacom unit continues to bet on young social media influencers.
CKN Toys features seven-year-old Calvin and three-year-old brother Kaison unboxing and testing toys. With more than 13 million YouTube subscribers and more than 12 billion views, it has become one of Australia’s largest YouTube channels and also has big followings in the U.S., the U.K., India, Brazil and other countries.
"Tapping into CKN Toys’ unscripted, spontaneous and fun narrative style," Nickelodeon will initially develop and produce an exclusive original shortform preschool series for Nickelodeon and Nick Jr.-branded linear and digital platforms that will be produced by Nickelodeon Australia and feature Calvin and Kaison. No name for the show was immediately unveiled.
Financial terms of the deal, which covers more than 170 territories, weren't disclosed. The agreement, which follows a similar deal with Ryan ToysReview, was created and brokered by Haven Global, CKN’s worldwide licensing agent, which will work with Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP) across multiple territories.
“CKN Toys has grown to become one of the most popular YouTube channels in the world because kids and parents alike love Calvin’s sense of fun and play, and his good-natured personality,” said Jules Borkent, Executive Vice President (EVP) Content and Network Strategy, Nickelodeon International. “We’re looking forward to developing content that taps into all the things fans already love about CKN Toys and giving it a distinct Nickelodeon look and feel.”
Said Tom Punch, Haven Global’s founder and managing director: "Calvin and Kaison’s infectious and authentic enthusiasm when road-testing toy superheroes, vehicles, construction kits and play sets have turned them into real tastemakers.”
“Haven and Nickelodeon have been partners for decades, so it’s exciting to have the opportunity to develop a consumer products plan that embodies the fun and playful nature of CKN Toys,” says Mark Kingston, Senior Vice President (SVP) of International, Viacom Nickelodeon Consumer Products (VNCP).
CKN Toys launched in March 2015 and has become known for such catch phrases as “Oh my goodness!,” “Oh Wow!” and “Yes, I did it!”
