Teletubbies is all about encouraging young children to learn from the world around them,” said Charlotte Hill, Brand Director, DHX Brands. “With Teletubbies Play Time, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po will help little ones do just that, in an engaging and enjoyable way.

Building on the trusted developmental brand values of the hit Teletubbies preschool show, Teletubbies Play Time helps little ones develop language skills through features such as “see-and-say,” which uses voice-recognition technology to help children’s grow their vocabularies. Teletubbies Play Time is carefully designed to help children learn to speak through repetition and consistent practice in an exciting yet non-intrusive way.

Teletubbies Play Time is one of seven Teletubbies apps currently available for Android and iOS devices. Through the power of play, laughter and technology, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa and Po are engaging young children around the world and encouraging their development!
