Meet the Four Teletubbies in Every Coloring Page
Each Teletubbies coloring page focuses on one clear character trait so little hands can match crayon to figure. Tinky Winky is the tallest, purple, with a triangular aerial and a red bag. Dipsy is green with a straight dipstick aerial and a favorite black-and-white hat. Laa-Laa is yellow with a curly loop aerial and a round, bubbly shape. Po, the smallest, is red with a circle aerial and often shown riding a scooter. Every figure also carries a round belly screen, giving kids an easy extra shape to fill in.
What This Printable Set Includes
The collection covers single-character sheets for Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, plus group scenes showing all four standing together on a rolling green hill. A few Teletubbyland backdrop pages add the smiling baby sun and small rabbits peeking from the grass. Outlines stay bold and simple, with big rounded shapes and almost no fine detail, so the pages work as standalone printables or as a themed set for a quiet afternoon of coloring.
Printing Setup and Coloring Tips
These designs print cleanly on standard letter paper, though cardstock holds up better to a toddler's grip and repeated crayon strokes. Set the printer to actual size rather than fit-to-page so the thick outlines stay bold and easy to trace. For coloring, match each figure to its signature shade - purple, green, yellow, red - and use chunky crayons or washable markers for solid, even coverage across the large rounded bodies and antennas.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What color should each Teletubby be colored?
Stick with each character's signature shade for a recognizable result: Tinky Winky is purple, Dipsy is green, Laa-Laa is yellow, and Po is red. The belly screen and aerial can stay a lighter gray or white to stand out against the body color. Following these pairings helps kids connect the coloring activity to the characters they already recognize from the show.
2. What age group fits these printables best?
These sheets suit toddlers around age two through early preschoolers up to five, matching the show's original young viewers. The bold, simple outlines require little fine motor precision, making them a gentle starting point before kids move on to pages with smaller details. Parents and preschool or daycare staff can use the same set for solo coloring time or a small group activity.
3. What is a fun little-known detail about the Teletubbies?
Each Teletubby's belly screen, sometimes called a tummy tv, once played short clips of real children during the original 1997 broadcast, turning every episode into a mix of animation and live footage. Coloring in that screen shape gives kids a chance to imagine their own picture playing there, adding a small storytelling twist to an otherwise simple printable page.
