Bing is a 3-year-old black anthropomorphic bunny. His favourite toy is Hoppity Voosh, a rabbit superhero. Bing wears a green shirt, red and black chequered dungarees and black and white sneakers and Bing loves to hum, whistle, pretend and do untroubling childlike things. Flop (voiced by Mark Rylance in series 1 and David Threlfall in series 2) is Bing's carer, guiding Bing through his toddler life, entertaining him and soothing him when Bing faces a problem. Flop is a short orange-skinned creature and is presumably a stuffed peanut toy.

Sula wears a pink and yellow dress with trousers, hot pink socks and golden sparkly shoes. Her favourite toy is Fairy Hippo (as revealed in 'Hearts'), a hippo dressed up as a fairy. Amma (voiced by Akiya Henry), is Sula's guardian. Amma runs the creche and park café. The programme's child characters sometimes visit.
