For Example-

Wonder Pets
Linny is a five-year-old guinea pig [4] and the leader of the Wonder Pets. Linny is voiced by Sofie Zamchick in the United States version and Meisha Kelly (Alphabet Kidz) in the UK version. As a superhero, she wears an orange-yellow cap and a blue cape.





Team Umizoomi
MilliA six year old girl[3] (voiced by Sophia Fox and later, Madeleine Rose Yen) who has abilities related to patterns and measuring. She can change her dress to any pattern and can then project that pattern by singing "Pattern Power". Milli is usually the one to interact with the child viewing the show when it is necessary to complete the next element in a pattern in order to accomplish something. Her ponytails can be used to measure things, which is initiated by singing "Milli-Measure".





Bubble Guppies

Molly (Brianna Gentilella)- Born on February 20th, is a 9 year old girl. The smart co-host of the show.
Gil (Zachary Gordon)- Born on July 30th, is a 9 year old boy. The dimwit co-host of the show.
Goby (Jelani Imani)- Born on May 23rd, is a 9 year old boy. The imaginative character of the show.
Deema (Angelina Wahler)- Born on June 8th, is a 9 year old girl. The silly character of the show.
Oona (Reyna Shaskan)- Born on November 16th, is a 9 year old girl. The sensitive character who has a pink starfish hairclip.
Nonny (Eamon Pirruccello)- Born on September 17th, is a 9 year old boy. The very smart character who almost never smiles.



Backyardigans
UniquaA curious, self-confident and high-spirited pink character of no existing real-life species (the series uses the name "Uniqua" for both the character and her species) wearing pink polka-dotted overalls.
Pablo, a yellow-beaked blue and yellow penguin wearing a blue bow tie and a blue and yellow propeller beanie, is the one who most often has the ideas and tends to be the most excitable and the smallest of the group. He is best friends with Tyrone.
TyroneA good-natured (and sometimes fearful) red-haired orange moose he has his antlers at an early age he wears a red and blue striped long-sleeve shirt,
TashaA little yellow hippopotamus, in red shoes and an orange flowered dress. Of the five characters, she is the only one who wears shoes at all times (except as a mermaid).
AustinA timid, but fun-loving purple kangaroo who moved into the block during season one.[7]







And of course Dora, which had a spinoff of Go Diego Go
