Noddy and his toy friends

Noddy spends most of his time with his Toy Town friends - playing, laughing and learning about the world around them. Each of Noddy's friends has his or her own personality and together help him to learn valuable lessons - and have fun along the way!

The kindly old gnome with sensible advice. Big-Ears is a wise, cheerful ‘grown up’ figure - approachable, reassuring and always happy to help put things right or explain a complicated situation.

With Big-Ears’ supportive presence, there's a sense that everything will be alright in the end.

Through her cleverness and kindness, she shows the value of friendship, sharing and respecting others, and so enhances the understanding of social skills.

Children also enjoy Tessie's pet, Bumpy Dog - like a boisterous toddler, he tends to jump in paws first before thinking.

Mr Plod is Toy Town's policeman, famous for catching the goblins Sly and Gobbo when they have been making mischief in Toyland. Mr Plod ensures all the Toys keep out of trouble. He catches the mischief-makers on his police bicycle, by blowing his whistle, before locking the culprits up in his jail.

Martha is outgoing, enthusiastic and a real dare-devil. She can also be a bit bossy, even rude, and loves playing practical jokes.

Her adventures with her fellow toys help her to see others’ points of view, empathise and learn the benefits of sharing and understanding.

Dinah Doll is kind and sensible. She runs the market stall in Toy Town and manages to stock everything from kites to Googleberry muffins. Whatever you need, Dinah has it, but she just has to find it first!

Master Tubby Bear is Noddy's cheeky, chubby friend and next-door neighbour. He is also often getting into trouble!

Remember the time he wanted to be a train driver but accidentally drove the train wildly all through Toy Town? Oh dear, Master Tubby Bear.

These two mischievous goblins cause no end of trouble in Toy Town. They play mean tricks, try to steal Noddy's car and are a nuisance.

Luckily, their light-hearted troublemaking always backfires as Mr Plod is always on hand to emphasise the rewards of being kind to others and learning right from wrong.
