My son loves The Tellytubbies and often has a good old giggle at them as they sing and dance around the television screen. Which makes me laugh too as he tries to copy them dance now at the age of one!

I bought Dance with the Tellytubbies for Alex when he was a few months old, just to keep him amused while in his baby bouncer and then I could get on with a few jobs around the house and I can honestly say that this was a wise investment, I know what your thinking "a video an investment" well yeah ,its been great and as he has grown he hasn't gotten bored with this video at all, so it was a good value for money video.

I think he would be quite happy to have it on all day, which I obviously wouldn't do as I value my sanity.
There’s lots of dancing around on this video and it certainly keeps kids happy and amused but also it keeps me fit as I’m usually dancing around the living room with my son. I think an hour a day for kids to watch a video is fine and it doesn’t do them any harm and won’t turn them into couch potatoes!

There are 5 characters in the tellytubbies video, these include Tinkywinky, Dipsy, Lala,Po and noo noo the hoovery type thing, Oh and there’s also a little boy’s face in the sun which my son finds very interesting when he comes on.

Tinkywinky carries his hand bag around with him nearly all the time which I find very amusing !
There’s a few dance sequences involving a skirt or kirt as the tubbies call it and tinkywinky definitely gets a few extra goes ,lol..

Here’s a list of the dances on the video

Stamping and stepping dance
Walking dance
Running away dance
Round and around dance
Splashing dance
Falling down dance
Tiptoe dance
Jumping dance

So as you can see there’s lots on it and its running time is about 60 minutes so for £8.99 it’s not a bad price I feel. When the tellytubbies aren’t dancing around there’s lots of other entertainment ,that’s when there tummies light up and loads of children have a dance about and there’s also a little bit of educational fun in it to. Like Tinkywinky having to share his skirt for instance.

Anyway I would definitely recommend it for parents with children under 3 years old. I’m sure they’ll love it to. The only down side is it can get on your nerves a bit if you put it on daily so I recommend you have a variety of different video’s for your children to watch ,that way they won’t drive you up the wall.

Adam grew up with the teletubbies and still will watch them now at the age of almost 5. The Tweenies came along when he was about 3 and he has never gotton into them as much as the teletubbies. He will watch, but they don't capture his imagination in the same way.

My 5 year old loved the Teletubbies, but has now graduated to the Tweenies, LOL!

I must try and get this video for my wee boy. He's 18 months and loves the teletubbies particularly when they are dancing. Thanks, Caroline
