Teletubbies 20th Anniversary Party

amomentwithfranca · 12 March 2017 · Leave a Comment

I can’t believe the Teletubbies have turned 20 this year! Wow, time really flies! I have mentioned this before but I remember watching this show with my niece when she was about 1 and now she is turning 15! How crazy is that? When Bella was little, she loved the Teletubbies too and now Sienna is the same. This is certainly a show loved by so many kids!

The Teletubbies 20th Anniversary Party v3

The show was launched in 1997 and last year they relaunched it with a brand new series featuring the same loveable characters as the original one but it has been refreshed to bring a more contemporary look and feel. This show is designed to help young children develop their physical, emotional and cognitive skills in a warm, loving, playful environment. It’s about exploring, experimenting, experiencing and enjoyment.

Teletubbies invite

They are celebrating this year more than ever as they have been entertaining kids for 20 years. We were invited to the 20th Anniversary VIP Party a few weeks ago so we all went along and had a fantastic time.

My girls were very excited, especially Sienna who knows all about them. We recently received a pull and play giant Noo-Noo which she loves. She plays with it a lot and enjoys all the sounds. Sienna’s favourite character is Lala and she was really looking forward to meeting her!

VENUE

BMI Southbank Teletubbies Party

The party was held at BFI Southbank in London and they had lots of fun activities for all the family. As soon as we arrived we saw the Teletubbies having some photos. Sienna was so happy when she first saw them. We definitely wanted to take some photos with them so we made sure we queued for that at the end of the party.

FUN ACTIVITIES

Soft Play Area

They had a soft play area where the girls had lots of fun. It was very busy so we only stayed a little bit in this area.

Bubble Area

Sienna with the Bubbles 3

We then went to where a man was making giant bubbles with children inside! Sienna and Bella wanted to do this so we waited for our turn. This was amazing and I really enjoyed it. The only thing was that then they both ended up with a lot of soap on their heads. But nothing that we couldn’t clean after.

Face Painting

After this we also spotted that they had some face painting, so we headed towards that area. Both my girls were looking forward to that! Bella got a super cool rainbow and Sienna got …guess what? Yes, a little picture of Lala, LOL!

FOOD

Teletubbies Cupcakes

We saw they had some food for guests too so we went there to have something to eat as the girls had spotted some Teletubbies cupcakes. Of course, nobody was going to stop them from getting one, LOL!

THEATRE

Presentation of series 2 of Teletubbies

We were then asked to head to the theatre to watch one of the episodes from the new upcoming series. We were going to be the first ones to see it, so we were very excited about it! CBeebies presenter, Chris Jarvis (Show Me Show Me, etc) was our host for the presentation. He introduced us to the creator of the show and the CBeebies controller. We also saw the original Sun Baby, who is of course now a fully grown adult!

Teletubbies Dancing

The presentation finished with the Teletubbies themselves appearing and doing a nice dance for us! We were shown the moves for the dance and like the rest of the kids (and adults) in the audience, my girls were dancing up and down with the Teletubbies tune!

GOODIE BAGS

Goodie Bag 1

Goodie Bag 2

Before we were ready to go, the girls picked up a lovely goodie bag with lots of cool things inside. We were very lucky as we got to have a little chat with Chris Jarvis too!

PHOTO WITH THE TELETUBBIES

We were told that the Teletubbies were going to be outside for a photo so we joined the queue. When it was our turn, I got my selfie stick for a photo with them but I got the setting wrong and it took a video instead! Luckily we’d asked one of the organisers to film us so I was able to get some stills from that video! I think they came out okay. What do you think?

The new series begins on March 13 on CBeebies at 7am with extra programming to mark the anniversary on March 31. So get ready for it as I’m sure your little ones will love it! Happy 20th Anniversary Teletubbies!

Were you a fan of the Teletubbies when it first started? Did you see series 1 last year? Are your kids ready for series 2? 

*Disclosure: We were invited to the Teletubbies 20th Anniversary Party for the purpose of this blog post. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Love you all ❤️

✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling b ✨Breakfast✨.Nothing like a healthy filling breakfast, right? I have been trying to keep eating a good breakfast every morning to help me with my low iron! .Most days I have branflakes and sometimes weetabix but Fridays to Sundays, I make a little effort and prepare overnight oats. I love them! They are so tasty and leave me satisfy for hours which means not craving for snacks until lunch time! Win win 😀.I prepare the oats with chia seeds, almond milk, vanilla extract, honey and leave it overnight. In the morning, I serve it with strawberries, blueberries, banana and honey. It is so good! 😋 I vary the fruit that I put in but everything else is the same..What do you like eating for breakfast?.#overnightoats #oatsforbreakfast #easybreakfast #simplebreakfast #togobreakfast #quickbreakfast #breakfastideas #healthybreakfastideas #breakfastinspo #breakfastbowl #breakfastgoals #breakfastlover #oatmealbowl #breakfastclub #oatmealbowl
✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So ✨Teacher’s Strike Day✨.Happy hump day! So we have our first teacher’s strike day today which means no school and learning from home..Bella is doing her school work via Google classroom so she will follow her normal school day that way and Sienna doesn’t have a structured day from school today so she should have a day off but we have agreed for her to do some work too, so she will be reading, practicing for her spelling test and doing some maths. This way we can all have a productive day 😉, well hopefully! 😬. Have you been affected by the strike today? What are your plans? .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #sisterhood #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #westfield #westfieldlondon #londonkids
✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unf ✨Happy Friday✨.Did you have a good week? Unfortunately, it wasn’t that good for us because the girls have been under the weather. Bella started first with a sore throat and high fever for a few days and then when Bella got better, Sienna started! She got a horrible cough but no temperature. Her cough was that bad that she couldn’t sleep very well for a couple of nights. They are both much better now and back to school.. The weather hasn’t helped either. It has been so cold lately! I literally feel frozen all the time. Thankfully it is looking better atm as the temperatures are starting to rise. I decided to get my flu vaccine, so I hope it protects me from all these viruses that are going around! Have you had the flu vaccine too? .On another note, I went yesterday to a parents meeting about GCSE options for Bella. I can’t believe she needs to think about it already ahead of Year 9. The time really goes fast. Are your kids dealing with GCSEs too?.📸 Sharing this beautiful bouquet of flowers from @freddiesflowers to brighten up our day.#flowerarrangement #flowerdelivery #bouquetofflowers #flowersmakemehappy #loveflowers #flowersoftheday #flowersoftheweek #flowerlover #freshflowers #flowerobsession #bunchofflowers #foreverflowers #flowersofinstagram #homesweethome
