Teletubbies - Nursery Rhymes (1998)

Captures my son's attention

My son is now 2 yrs old & only Teletubbies really captures his attention & he finds it hilarious! We enjoy the "Grand ol Duke of York" sung by King Pleasure & the Biscuit Boys.
I thought I'd never let him watch this show but, he really likes it & it really isn't that bad at all. It is educational.... February 23, 2005

Mesmerizing and educational

My 19 month old has never been remotely interested in TV, but this video captured her. The first thing she says when she gets up in the morning is "See Teletubbies." She sings along with the tubbies DELIGHTEDLY and adores the Miss Muffet sequence. The laughter of the baby sun sends her into fits of amused shrieking. The video is not repetitive in the way the TV show and is genuinely educational. There are some boring bits, like an incomprehensible British child reading the Gingerbread Boy. My daughter waits in frustration for this to end to return to the Teletubbies. Hopefully she is learning patience. I recommend this video 80%, based on the content and the fact that we now have previously unknown free time. I am withholding the last 20% because I can see my daughter's interest in books has waned dramatically since we got this video. November 3, 2003

Very Fun and Very Cute

Setting aside the controversy about the Teletubbies, this is a great video.

The Teletubbies are easy to like and have appeal to young children. My son enjoyed them until he was about two and a half and I find my daughter is moving on from their shows at about the same age.

They sing and dance and talk in simple terms. They play and enjoy life. In this video they concentrate on Nursery Rhymes while they sing and dance. The little skits are centered around nursery rhymes as well. This particular video is one of my favorites as well as a favorite of my children.

The segments are short which means you have a good stopping point at about 10 minute breaks. This helps control how much tv your children watch.

Enjoy. October 29, 2003

Good, but not great.

We actually borrowed this tape from our library to see if it was worth purchasing. I'm glad we did this too b/c we won't be buying this Teletubbies video. For some reason, the "seasonal tree", that is also sometimes shown on the TV show, scares my 15 month old to the point of tears and screaming. Otherwise, my son did enjoy this video for the most part. The story of the Gingerbread Boy didn't capture his attention. His favorite parts were the songs and the dancing/movement that went along with the Nursery Rhyme. September 30, 2003

Wonderful Entertainment

My 11 month old just started watching the Teletubbies a few weeks ago and she loves them. This particular tape is very entertaining for her. She absolutely loves the baby in the sun and mimics the sounds the baby makes. I highly recommended this tape for babies her age and older. August 15, 2003
