Talking Teletubbies - Laa-Laa

Pros: Well made, soft
Cons: None

My mother bought the Teletubbies Talking LaaLaa doll for my daughter last Christmas. At that time she was just a little over a year old. When she told me that she had gotten the toy for her, I was excited because she was really into the television show...

Pros: cute, easily washed, loved by my son
Cons: not a good sleeping companion

I was sorting out all of my son's old toys the other day and came across talking Laa-Laa. We actually had all four of the teletubbies - two talking and two non-talking. The teletubbies were a favorite set of Zachary's.

Laa-Laa is a stuffed...

Pros: good for young kids, soft, cuddly, interactive, cute
Cons: short attention length?

Some kids just adore the Teletubbies. Some adults just adore them so much that their kids just go with the flow. Such is the case with my children and their grandmother, my mother. Of course, there was always the general interest in the...

Pros: Huggable and only 80% annoying.
Cons: That 20% goes a long way to those who just don't get it.

Step One......Admit You Have a Problem

By Hapless Child; Weirdo

Ever since I found myself staring blankly at the TV screen for a long period of time at a giggling baby sun and acid-esque visions of tikes doing menial...

Pros: So cute you could eat it with a spoon...
Cons: But it would give you indigestion =)

No One Comes Between Me and My Laa-Laa

I have confession to make. I am a 21 year old male and I love my stuffed Teletubby. My Talking Laa-Laa stuffed figure was given to me as a get-well gift over a year ago, back in the days before...

Pros: Bright yellow color with a sweet childlike voice
Cons: phrases get a bit repetitive

I must say for the record that I don't particularly like Teletubbies. I do not think that they are as educational as they are said to be. I wouldn't watch the show or even be writing this if it weren't for the love of Laa-Laa from my 7 month old...

Pros: My son loves it
Cons: I hate it

With Christmas came a whole entourage of Teletubby toys for my 16 month old son. He's just crazy over these toddler like characters. They display so many things he can relate with that it's no wonder he loves them so much! The thing is after so many...

Pros: Durable and reliable, bright and huggable talking toy.
Cons: I wish it said even more phrases.

Laa Laa is the first toy my son asks for. She is his "go-to" toy as it were when he gets down and needs a little friend. I brought it home one night after work when my son was really sick and needed a little something to cheer him up. He...

Pros: washable
Cons: Novelty wore off very quickly

I am not 100% anti-Teletubbies but I can say that I dislike this toy, Talking Teletubbies: Laa-Laa. We received this toy for my daughter's birthday. Laa-Laa and Po are the only names she can pronounce from this quartet of characters and yellow...

Pros: Baby loves it!
Cons: Can be overpriced if not bought on sale

Let me start off by saying that before I had children, I promised myself and my husband that I would NEVER buy anything "teletubby". However, after my son saw a talking Dipsy at a play group and was captivated, I changed my mind.

I...

Pros: Cute and durable
Cons: None

My daughter was just under a year old when we first saw these adorable creatures on PBS. As the Teletubbies sang their opening theme, she gleamed with joy. As she became older, she would dance right along with them. So, it was very obvious to us that...

Pros: Cute
Cons: Boring

I purchased the Talking Laa-Laa for my daughter 1 1/2 years ago because she was a major fan of the Teletubbies. Although she liked the toy, the novelty soon wore off and now that she is much older she sits there on my daughter's shelf, mocking me for...

Pros: very durable, easy to clean, cute
Cons: none

Laa-Laa was the second one of the talking teletubbies my children just had to have. After paying that much for Po ($24.95) earlier, I looked around and actually found her for $10.00 cheaper online.

She is bright yellow and stands about...

Pros: lovable for toddlers
Cons: annoying, teaches incorrect language development, looks dirty quickly

I used to be okay with the teletubbies.....until we got one that talks. Laa Laa was a much anticipated gift for our two year old, and he loved it. At first. Then it was just an annoying toy that said the same thing over and over in a much-too-loud...

Pros: Fun for the kids
Cons: words, easy to remove back compartment

I purchased this toy not long after my daughter discovered Teletubbies on T.V. She had a particular liking to Laa-laa, so that ended up being the one she received. She loved that all she had to do was push her tummy and Laa-laa said things that she would...
