Free Teletubbies – WildBrain Coloring Pages: 19 printable PDF designs featuring the four Teletubbies in solo portraits, a holiday scene, and general practice pages. Each page can be downloaded as a PDF to print or colored online in the browser, with no account required.
Teletubbies was created by Anne Wood and Andrew Davenport of Ragdoll Productions and first aired on the BBC in 1997, built specifically around the attention span and viewing habits of toddlers and preschoolers. The modern reboot featured in this collection, produced by WildBrain, launched on Netflix in December 2022 and is narrated by Emmy-nominated actor Tituss Burgess, carrying the same four core characters, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, into a new version of Teletubbyland.
The 19 pages in this set are split into solo character portraits, a holiday scene, and general practice and group pages, giving young colorists a simple, familiar cast to work through one page at a time.
What Is Inside This Collection
The 19 pages are grouped by character and setting rather than by a single repeated scene.
Solo Character Portraits
The largest group keeps the focus on one Teletubby at a time, giving each of the four, Tinky Winky, Dipsy, Laa-Laa, and Po, their own dedicated pages. These suit each character’s signature color and antenna shape, kept consistent across every appearance.
Holiday Scene
One page sets the Teletubbies in a Christmas-themed setting, adding a seasonal option alongside the everyday character portraits.
General Practice and Group Pages
The remaining pages are simpler, general-purpose designs featuring the group together or a single Teletubby in a basic pose, offering a flexible warm-up set before moving on to a specific character page.
What Teletubbies – WildBrain Coloring Pages Do
Fine motor development through a simple, rounded shape. The American Academy of Pediatrics identifies fine motor skill development as a core benefit of structured coloring for children ages 2 through 7, and each Teletubby’s large, rounded body and simple antenna shape give very young colorists an approachable outline to practice staying inside, without the fine detail that can frustrate a beginner.
A show actually designed for this exact age group. Teletubbies was built from the ground up around toddler attention spans and viewing habits, favoring slow pacing, repetition, and simple shapes over fast-moving action. Coloring pages built around characters designed this deliberately for very young viewers naturally suit the same age group. These pages are likely to appeal to most.
Calm, repetitive focus through a consistent, familiar cast. A 2005 study in the Art Therapy Journal documented measurable reductions in anxiety following structured coloring sessions, and returning to the same four simple, rounded characters across multiple pages supports the same steady, low-pressure repetition the study associated with that calming effect.
A quick lesson in telling characters apart by simple cues. Because each Teletubby has one signature color and a uniquely shaped antenna, triangular for Tinky Winky, straight for Dipsy, curly for Laa-Laa, and round for Po, this collection gives colorists an easy, low-stakes way to practice identifying characters by a small set of visual details.
How to Color These Pages Well
- Tinky Winky: Use Purple for the body, and keep the triangular antenna the same shade so the character reads consistently across every page.
- Dipsy: Use Green for the body, keeping the straight antenna a matching solid color.
- Laa-Laa: Use Golden Yellow for the body, with the curly antenna colored to match.
- Po: Use Scarlet Red for the body, keeping the small, round antenna consistent with the rest of the figure.
- TV screens: Color each Teletubby’s belly screen Silver or Gray, since the screen is meant to stand out clearly against the character’s main color.
- Backgrounds: Keep outdoor scenes simple, using Sky Blue and Sea Green, so the rounded characters remain the clear visual focus on each page.
5 Creative Craft Ideas With Teletubbies – WildBrain Coloring Pages
1. Window Suncatcher
Cut out a colored Teletubby shape and place it on a piece of clear contact paper, then let a child fill in the open areas with small torn pieces of colorful tissue paper. Seal the design with a second piece of contact paper, trim the edges, and hang the finished suncatcher near a window.
2. Antenna Shape Match
Color one page for each of the four Teletubbies, then cut a matching antenna shape, triangle, straight line, curl, or circle from colored paper for each one. Mix up the antenna shapes and have a child match each one to the correct colored character.
3. Teletubbies Garden
Color and cut out a few small Teletubby shapes, then glue each one onto its own small flower pot. Fill the pots with soil and plant seeds or a small starter plant, letting a child care for the finished mini garden over time.
4. Character Memory Game
Print two copies of a few different Teletubbies pages, color each pair to match, and cut them into individual cards. Shuffle the cards face down and take turns flipping two at a time to find matching pairs.
5. Thank You Card
Color a favorite Teletubby page and glue it to the front of a card folded from construction paper. Write a short thank-you note inside for a friend, family member, or teacher.
