What do Teletubbies teach children?
Teletubbies are fuzzy, have TV's for tummies and kids think they are great.
They sit entranced while they laugh at four chubby teletubbies coming
out of their underground home. They sit in wonder as to which
tummy-screen will light up and show a short TV clip. This world is
full of flowers, rabbits, and warm hugs. Who are these creatures
with television screens on their tummies, and antennas on their heads?
Why do children find them so captivating, and what can they learn from
them? What is the message they are sending to our children and is it
useful for their development and lifelong learning?
Children are the same the whole world over. They grow to learn a
language and how to talk and think wherever they are raised. Teletubbies are four soft roly-poly creatures that are played by
real people. They have been trained to talk, run and eat like
toddlers. This is to help them to love, follow and feel at
home with them.
Teletubbies is a celebration of children's play. It
introduces children one and above to the world of technology in a
safe and friendly way. The four techonological babies are
Dipsy, Laa-Laa, Tinky Winky, and Po who all love each other very
much and live together in their own world of child imagination.
They live together in Teletubbyland.
The overriding theme of teletubbies is more meant for the
youngest of children to relate to with their limited vocabulary.
There is no doubt of its positive effects on babies as young as one
year old. If it does lack in educational material it makes up
for this in fun, entertainment and imagination.
