Cbeebies - Teletubbies

Teletubbies: The Television Series

TELETUBBIES created by Ragdoll for the BBC, is a part of life for children all over the world.

Set in magical Teletubbyland, Teletubbies uses bright colours, engaging stories and fun games, to which even the youngest child can relate. Based on a fundamental understanding of how very young children develop, Teletubbies allows young children to feel happy and secure. From babies to toddlers, children love Teletubbies and Teletubbies love children. Their appeal lies in their unique ability to create an environment within which children can have fun and grow with confidence.

TELETUBBIES EVERYWHERE is a funny and very simple format of 10-minute 'treat-sized' programmes inspired by and complimenting the original 'classic' Teletubbies programmes. Responding to children's natural desire to learn, Teletubbies Everywhere presents a comedy of first concepts for our youngest audience, combining the irresistible humour of the original Teletubbies with simple games and spatial patterns on coloured backgrounds.

The programme includes live-action inserts of young children growing up in different parts of the world, which allows our young audience to gain a broader understanding of their world. These programmes have remained in their original language, because at this young age, children follow a story by the actions and visual sequences, as much as by words. Allowing children to hear different languages, yet still understand what is happening, gives them a sense that, no matter how different clothes, places and words might be, children are the same - everywhere.

Teletubbies: the website

TELETUBBIES created by Ragdoll for the BBC, is a part of life for children all over the world, on the world wide web, as well as on television.

The website reflects the magical feel of Teletubbyland, using the same bright colours, engaging stories and fun games, to which even the youngest child can relate.

The 'fun and games' section is where children can enjoy stories and play games. All the content reflects the programme themes, and so is reassuringly familiar to the children, for example: Little Bo Peep and Laa-Laa's rabbits. Other games are based on Teletubbyland, but are designed specifically for the site, such as Painting game or Hide and seek. Games such as more than one or shapes game reflect the feel of the popular 'Teletubbies Everywhere', and help with the beginnings of mathematical develoment, in counting and shape recognition.

All the games are designed to help children learn by developing their co-ordination, creative, observational and numeracy skills. As well as providing great fun!
