Painting with Hands and Feet is the fifth overall episode of Teletubbies.
Plot
The Teletubbies do a Conga dance before watching some children painting with their hands and feet. Later, Tinky Winky comes down the slide inside Home Hill. As he is about to walk forwards, he stops and notices that somebody has spilt their Tubby Custard on the floor. Whoever it was had left footprints. Tinky Winky followed the footprints to the place where Dipsy is sitting with the rabbits. But Dipsy didn't spill the Tubby Custard. So Tinky Winky and Dipsy followed the footprints to the place where Laa-Laa is dancing. But Laa-Laa didn't spill the Tubby Custard either. Tinky Winky, Dipsy and Laa-Laa followed the trail around Teletubbyland to find out who spilt the Tubby Custard. They soon reached Home Hill and followed the footprints indoors to the place where Po is fast asleep. They all discovered it was Po who spilt the Tubby Custard and they had a good laugh. The Magic Windmill spins and it's time for a Magical Event. The Teletubbies watch the Tap Dancing Teddy Bear in a carousel performing a dance, which they enjoy. They enjoy it so much that the bear dances a second time, much to their delight. Then, the Magic Windmill stops spinning and it is time for Tubby Bye-Bye.

US Version
Inside the house, the Teletubbies make noisy footsteps. Po marches, Laa-Laa jumps, Dipsy skips and Tinky Winky has Tubby Custard on his foot which Noo-Noo tidies up. The Teletubbies watch some children painting with their hands and feet. The Teletubbies make some Tubby Custard. But, when it's Po's turn, the Tubby Custard Machine won't stop and makes more and more Tubby Custard. Then the house starts to flood with Tubby Custard. Po turns the Tubby Custard Machine off and Noo-Noo tidies up all the Tubby Custard. The Teletubbies love Noo-Noo very much. Then, the Teletubbies do The Falling Down Dance before Tubby Bye-Bye.
