Movie Reviews of Teletubbies - Naughty Noo-noo! - Messy Messes and Terrific TidyingMovie Review: Clearing Up the Mystery Summary: 5 Stars
My 15 month old is Teletubbies obsessed, and we were heartbroken when the contract with PBS ran out and it was taken off the air. I wish I had known - I could have saved alot of money by just not clearing my DVR! In any case, we are now collecting the DVD's and have several. I limit how often I let her watch as she is absolutely entranced, but they are all great for "emergencies" (one of us is ill, an important phone call, she is tired and cranky but it's not bedtime, etc.)
This is probably my daughter's favorite. She "cracks up" every time when Noo-noo races around loudly. An added benefit is that it helped her overcome her Vacuum Cleaner anxiety (which makes my life way easier!). When I vacuum I tell her it's time to "feed the Noo-noo"!
To understand what makes Teletubbies educational, one has to see the world, for a moment, from a very young child's perspective. She has limited receptive language, limited experiences, limited concepts, short attention span, she is low man on the totem pole in a world controlled by grown ups. She is a "Stranger in a Strange Land". The world of Teletubbies makes sense to her. She can understand (and likely even speak!) the language. She can grasp the simple plots and actions. The bright colors captivate her. She can pay attention long enough to take in the short "bites" of story. Teletubbies are her kind of people - children. But they are in a world FOR and OF children!
What she is learning about is LIFE! Life in a simple, clear way that she can get her mind around. This is way more important than naming shapes or colors (though Teletubbies has those also) or the alphabet. Learning builds on a foundation. Teletubbies would not be educational for a school age child. For an older infant or younger toddler it IS educational.
I add to the learning by playing on the PBS website Teletubbies page and reading Teletubbies books with her. She was uninterested in her basic shapes puzzle until I copied pictures of the Teletubbies and taped them under the shapes. Now we play Peek-a-boo with the Teletubbies putting the pieces in and taking them out. I also made Teletubbies paper dolls and we "walk" them through her other books. (She only has an attention span for Teletubbies *grin*)
