This day I love.......: teletubbies

No comments

Storm Doris seemed to have skirted round the edges of our village, with just some wind and very cold weather. Nothing too bad, but bad enough that we opted to stay inside today. The dog went out and came back, so I know it wasn't too windy.

Staying in gave us the perfect opportunity to have a very lazy day, which is exactly what we did. Little Man is almost over his cold, not quite 100% but he did eat a bit of food today so I know he is getting better. I have been suffering with back pain again this week so a lazy day suited me well, particularly after the past few sleepless nights.

Whilst Little Man was awake we put on a DVD that both the girls and Little Man liked, the teletubbies.

2017 marks the 20th anniversary of the teletubbies. I can remember sitting with my youngest sister and watching them and even watching them through university as we reminisced childhood. Both girls are still fans of the teletubbies. My eldest used to ask for 'dirty knees' when she was a baby and it was her way of asking for a particular episode of the teletubbies. The girls love to guess which teletubbie is going to jump last, or which tummy will light up and they love to cuddle their brother as they all watch together.

The DVD 'Big Hugs' was thoroughly enjoyed by all three children and there were lots of big hugs all around! Storm Doris was still trying to blow up a storm outside so the girls got set to colouring with the colouring pad that came with the DVD and I sat down to read the Tubby custard ride with Little Man.

Little Man started patting the book on the tubby custard page, I think because of the bubbles. He waved at the teletubbies and enjoyed making them appear with the push and pull sections of the book. His sisters found him funny at how excited he kept getting.

It was soon time for Little Man to have a nap, and whilst they waited for him to settle the girls sat down to watch the DVD again.

Storm Doris might have been causing chaos outside, in some areas, but at home we had a lovely lazy day together with the teletubbies!

This day I love staying in from the storm

I received the book and DVD in exchange for this post, all words are my own opinion

Earlier this year we were invited to the launch of the iconic TV series Teletubbies. Since then the girls have become huge fans, and love watching them on Cbeebies. The launch of teletubbies also brought with it a range of toys from character options, some of which you can see here. My youngest still sleeps with her Laa Laa teletubbies, but we have one character missing Noo-Noo.

One of the latest toys from Character options is the Pull and Play giant Noo-Noo. Whilst aimed at children aged 18months to 4 years all three of my children (5months-6years) have interacted and enjoyed the giant Noo-Noo.

My eldest loves to pull the giant Noo-Noo so it makes sucking noises as she cleans up the giant custard splats, this makes her little brother laugh. As he grows he will also be able to pull and push the giant Noo-Noo so it is a toy that is going to last and grow with him. Noo-noo also has giant wobbly eyes just like in the TV show, which all three children find funny.

There are multiple activities on the pull and play giant Noo-Noo. My youngest has took great pride in showing her younger brother the 6 piece shape sorter. She talks to him about the different shapes and the different colours and he loves reaching out and grabbing them. The 3D teletubbies character jigsaw is also a big hit, with a little man fascinated by the contrasting colours and large pieces.

Both of these puzzles are perfect for developing hand eye coordination and problem solving. It is also lovely to see the girls adapt their game play to play with their younger brother and to see how much he loved playing with his sisters.

Once play has finished all pieces can be stored in the side of Noo-Noo which is a feature I really love. I like that everything can be tidied away and so that they can easily access the pieces when they are ready to play again. I can see a little man having a lot of fun with the a teletubbies giant pull and play Noo-Noo as he gets older, especially given how much the girls love to watch them on TV!

All words are my own opinion

You may remember a few weeks ago a very special delivery arrived and we were under strict instructions not to open the box. The suspense has been great in this house as we have all wanted to open it up and take a peak inside.

The girls are huge teletubbies fans, especially after meeting them at the launch of the TV show. Today is the day we get to open the box!

Inside the box we have a selection of presents in teletubbies inspired colours, we are excited to unwrap them and find out the contents.

Inside the parcels are a selection of teletubbies toys from the NEW teletubbies collection

Teletubbies Phone £9.99

The tubby phone has large buttons which when pressed will call the teletubbies. You can hear the teletubbies singing and talking and the button lights up as to which teletubby you have rung. The tubby phone also plays the theme song. My youngest daughter has took more of a liking to this than my eldest has, as she seems to be less interested by it.

Collection 1 figures £3.99 each

These mini figures can be combined to recreate some of the scenes from the TV show. We received two, a Po and a Noo Noo. They are small mini plastic figures that are great for inspiring the imagination. I can see our collection growing as the girls request more figures from the collection for presents. They would make perfect stocking filler type gifts, or reward gifts for the girls upon completing their reward charts.

Talking Laa-Laa £9.99

Talking Laa-Laa has to be the girls favourite from the box. She has become my daughters comfort toy of choice, only she cannot go in bed as she does talk when her tummy is pressed. She says a selection of teletubbies phrases and is incredibly soft to the touch. Her face is hard but has a soft velvet feel to it.

Supersoft Dipsy and Tinky Winky - £6.99 each

Each teletubby is available as a 6-inch supersoft collectible. We received Dipsy and Tinky Winky. They are incredibly soft and cuddly, even their faces are soft. The bottoms feel as if they have beans in and the rest of the body is soft. They are suitable as a first toy and I am sure the girls are going to love introducing Thing 3 to the teletubbies!
