Painting with Hands and Feet is the fifth overall episode of Teletubbies.
The Teletubbies do a Conga dance before watching some children painting with their hands and feet.
Later, Tinky Winky comes down the slide inside the Home Hill. As he is about to walk forwards, he stops notices that somebody has spilled their Tubby Custard on the floor. Whoever it was had left footprints. Tinky Winky follows 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 follow 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 follow the trail round Teletubbyland to find out who spilled the Tubby Custard. They soon reach the Home Hill and follow the footprints indoors to the place where Po is fast asleep. They all discover it was Po who spilled the Tubby Custard and they have a good laugh. The Magic Windmill spins and the Teletubbies watch a Tap Dancing Teddy bear in a carousel performing a dance. Then the Magic Windmill stops spinning and it is time for Tubby Bye-Bye.

Plot (US American 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 the 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 the Noo Noo tidies up all the Tubby Custard. The Teletubbies love the Noo-Noo very much. Then the Teletubbies do The Falling Down Dance before the sun giggles for Tubby Bye-Bye.
