André enjoys biking and soccer.

Puppets |
The puppet segments are used only on the PBS telecasts of Caillou,
in order to fill the show's time slot. While Caillou has slots for commercials,
and the English Teletoon shows ads during the breaks, PBS does not show paid
advertising during the program. Note that the newer shows don't have the puppets. |
- Matthew Theodore Bear aka "Teddy Bear" - An old teddy bear that once belonged
to Caillou's daddy, Teddy is reasonable, cute and brown. He is somewhat pessimistic, but all in all, he just needs a hug.
- Gilbert the Cat - Caillou's cat. He has a greyish-blue body with black stripes
and loathes dogs with a passion. He especially hates the bulldog in the neighbourhood.
In the puppet segments of the program, Gilbert often composes odes.
- Rexy - Caillou's toy dinosaur. Bluish in color and speaks in a somewhat
Hispanic accent, he is very playful. Rexy has the incapability to give a "good" hug. Rexy is noted for being rather pedantic.
- Deedee - A brown squirrel, she has a bushy tail, and is often seen playing with Rexy. She is sometimes captioned as "Diedi"
