Teletubbies Pull and Play Giant Noo Noo - Review
Both of my littlest two are huge fans of Teletubbies. LM has loved them since watching the old school series on Netflix so she was delighted to see the revamp come to cBeebies a little while ago. She has shared this love with her little brother and I can often find them curled up watching the show on TV in the mornings. We have a few of the new Teletubbies toys now so we were delighted to be offered the opportunity to add to our collection recently when we received the Pull and Play Giant Noo Noo from Character Toys.
Noo Noo is a favourite character from the show and this toy is a really fun addition to the Teletubbies range. Suitable for children from 18 months upwards, Little E was slightly too young to play at 15 months, but with careful supervision and help from both LM and Bud, we have had lots of fun with this toy.
The toy measures around 25cm tall, and about 40 cm long so he's the perfect size for toddlers to get down on the floor with and play. He looks exactly like the character in the TV show with the same big googly eyes and orange and pink body. On one side of Noo Noo's body is a shape sorter with five spaces for shapes (hexagon, star, square, triangle and Po's head). The other side has cutouts of all four Teletubbies with plastic jigsaw-type holes for them to pop into. All of these were the perfect size for little hands to use and both Little E and LM really enjoyed this activity.
On top of Noo Noo there are four big buttons (the colours correspond to each of the Teletubbies) and you can press these to get various Teletubbies speech and sound effects. Noo Noo requires 2xAA batteries to make these work, and this also makes the brush on the front of Noo Noo's hose spin. Also included is a pink Tubby Custard splat and, when you place this in front of the hose Noo Noo will make slurping sounds as he cleans it up.
Noo Noo has wheels which allow him to be pulled around using the yellow cord attached to his front. Little E picked up on this straight away and he was soon toddling around the garden with his new friend in tow.
Little E has really engaaged with this toy and he's still completely delighted by him, even though he's been here for a couple of weeks now. His interest hasn't waned at all. It's really interesting to watch him puzzling out the shape sorting and the jigsaw pieces and he was soon able to watch his sister and then work out how to do it himself. You can really see him thinking about each piece and walking around the toy to fnd out the correct place for each one.
There are so many different elements to this toy and the fact that it keeps a 15 month old,, and an almost 4 year old (and a 6 year old sometimes) busy and interested for a decent amount of time every time he is brought out to play is really great. Noo Noo has been a huge hit in our house and I'm sure he will be enjoyed for a long time to come, especially by Little E.
Pull and Play Giant Noo Noo has an RRP of £49:99 and is available to purchase from Character Toys.
We received the toy for review purposes.
