The sun is setting. The sky turns soft pink and purple. A gentle wind blows over the hills. In a very special place, it is time for bed. This is a time for quiet voices. It is a time for slow, sleepy hugs. For little ones, this routine is so important. It makes them feel safe and loved. Sharing gentle Teletubbies bedtime stories and lullabies is a wonderful part of this. The soft colors. The kind faces. The simple, happy sounds. They are perfect for saying “the day is done”. Let’s visit this sleepy land. Here is a quiet story for a very calm goodnight.
The Sleepy Time in Tellytubby Land
The sun was a big, smiling baby. The sun yawned a golden yawn. It was time for the sun to sleep. Down in the green, green hills, the Teletubbies saw this. Tinky Winky saw the sky. Dipsy saw the sky. Laa-Laa saw the sky. Po saw the sky. “The sun is sleepy,” said Tinky Winky. “Yes, sleepy,” said Dipsy. “So sleepy,” said Laa-Laa. “Time for tubby bye-byes!” said Po.
They knew what to do. It was time to get ready. First, they put their toys away. The ball went into the home. The scooter went into the home. Whoosh went the scooter wheels. All the toys were safe. Then, they had some tubby custard. It was warm and sweet. Slurp, slurp went their spoons. Yum-yum! It was good. Then, they had some tubby toast. Munch, munch. It was crunchy. Their tummies were full and happy.
Next, it was time to brush. They brushed their teeth. Scrub-a-dub, scrub-a-dub. Their teeth were clean and shiny. They brushed their tummy symbols too. Shiny, shiny. Now they were all clean. The wind blew softly. Sighhhh. It was a sleepy sound. The flowers nodded their heads. The rabbits went into their holes. Everything was getting ready.
Then, a voice came. It was the Voice Trumpet. “Teletubbies… it is bedtime,” said the voice. The voice was soft and kind. “Time for a lullaby.” A gentle tune began to play. La-la-la, loo-loo-loo. The music was slow. It was like a rocking chair. The Teletubbies listened. They swayed side to side. Their eyes felt heavy. The music filled the land. It was a Teletubbies bedtime stories and lullabies special.
Tinky Winky held his favorite blanket. It was a purple blanket. It was very, very soft. Dipsy held his hat. He gave it a little pat. Laa-Laa held her ball. It was a sleepy ball now. Po held her scooter. She gave it a gentle hug. They all had their things. Their special, warm things.
Noo-noo came out. Noo-noo was the vacuum cleaner. Hummmmm went Noo-noo. Noo-noo gave them all a goodnight nuzzle. A nuzzle for Tinky Winky. A nuzzle for Dipsy. A nuzzle for Laa-Laa. A nuzzle for Po. Noo-noo helped them feel cozy. Then, Noo-noo went back home. Hummmm, sigh.
Now, it was time to go. They walked to their home. The round, dome home. They walked very slowly. One step… two steps… three steps. Their feet went pat, pat, pat on the grass. They did not run. They did not jump. They walked slow and sleepy. They reached the door. The door opened with a soft sound. Swoosh. They went inside. The home was warm. The lights were low. It was perfect.
Inside, they each had a bed. A soft, fluffy bed. Tinky Winky went to his bed. He climbed in slow. He pulled his purple blanket up. “Goodnight, Tinky Winky,” he said. Dipsy went to his bed. He climbed in slow. He put his hat nearby. “Goodnight, Dipsy,” he said. Laa-Laa went to her bed. She climbed in slow. She put her ball close. “Goodnight, Laa-Laa,” she said. Po went to her bed. She climbed in slow. She patted her scooter. “Goodnight, Po,” she said.
They were all in bed. They were snug and warm. The big window showed the sky. The stars were coming out. One little star. Two little stars. Three little stars. Many little stars. They twinkled. Blink, blink. The Teletubbies watched the stars. Their eyes blinked slow. Blink… blink…. The lullaby music was still in their ears. La-la-la, loo-loo-loo.
Tinky Winky said goodnight to Dipsy. “Goodnight, Dipsy.” Dipsy said goodnight to Laa-Laa. “Goodnight, Laa-Laa.” Laa-Laa said goodnight to Po. “Goodnight, Po.” Po said goodnight to Tinky Winky. “Goodnight, Tinky Winky.” They all said goodnight to the stars. “Goodnight, stars.” They said goodnight to the wind. “Goodnight, wind.” They said goodnight to the hills. “Goodnight, hills.”
Then, they closed their eyes. Tinky Winky closed his eyes. Dipsy closed his eyes. Laa-Laa closed her eyes. Po closed her eyes. Their breathing became soft. In… out… in… out…. They were all asleep. In the sky, the sun baby was asleep too. The moon was out. It was a silver smile. The land was quiet. The Teletubbies bedtime stories and lullabies time was over. It was dream time now. All was calm. All was still. Goodnight.
