Many online games based on the Noggin show ''Oobi'' were created during the original run of the series. One of these games was ''Oobi's Day with Grampu''. These games remained on the Noggin website until the website was shut down in November 2009.
In 2003, the animation company Funny Garbage partnered with Nickelodeon to create a series of games called ''Scribblevision''. They were advertised as "virtual coloring books" that allowed young players to color pictures and see their artwork become animated. These games remained on the Nick Jr. and Noggin websites until November 2009, when they were merged together and most older games were removed.
