To keep kids safe on the Internet, Tiny Planet makes up cool names for each Explorer that everyone can see. You can actually log in to Tiny Planets using either your user name or your explorer name.
What if I forget my Password?
If you are a member, your parent can go to their Parents Page Dashboard and reset your password for you.
If you are not a member, we are very sorry but we can’t recover or reset your password. Part of our commitment to kid’s online safety is not keeping any personal information, and that means we don’t have any way to look it up.

Leveling
Did you notice the colored bar at the top of the screen next to the star read out? It shows your progress exploring the Tiny Planets. When you start out, you will move through a pale rainbow of level colors. The more things you do, the more planets and places you explore, the further along the rainbow of colors you climb and the brighter your colors will become.
When you go to buy toys and decor in your Space Station, you will see that items have different color backgrounds. Some things you cannot buy until you have reached a specific level.
Earth
Yes, your very own planet, Earth, is part of the Tiny Planets. Visit Earth, and watch a cool video about real Earth Science.
Who are Flockers?
Each Tiny Planet has it own distinctive Flocker population. More often than not, it's these social creatures that Bing and Bong are helping out of a jam. Whether it's cleaning out-of-reach windows or fortifying a house so that it withstands wind, Flockers are a perpetual source of problems begging to be solved. The Flockers do not speak, but are very noisy, and cluck, garble and coo.
Who are Locals?
Locals are smaller inhabitants of the planets, and can appear in greater numbers than the Flockers, but are just as dim. They are mostly globular in shape with blinking eyes and little antennas on top of they heads. They communicate by bouncing, blinking and squeaking. On certain planets, the Locals are geometric shapes, squares, circles and triangles. Locals are always colourful, appealing and friendly.
You’ll meet locals in many Bing and Bong Episodes on the Tiny Planets, and you can rescue them from falling meteors in the Meteor Storm game.
Why are things sometime spelled differently on Tiny Planets?
The original Tiny Planets episodes were British. Now the game is being produced in the US. Can you spot the differences in US and British English? Here is one: Color and Colour. Guess which is American English?
