ABOUT THE APP:

Bob the Builder’s First Ever App!  Join Bob the Builder and his team on an interactive dinosaur adventure! Kids will read, watch, play and discover how Muck get’s into trouble when she decides she can do everything on her own.

Bob and the team are building a train ride at the Dinosaur Fun Park and Muck, Scratch and Scoop are responsible for digging a path for the track. When Muck discovers rocks in her path she tries to solve the problem without asking for help from the other diggers, with dangerous consequences!

Bob the Builder: Muck’s Train to Trouble is an amazing interactive reading experience, which also includes a stunning painting activity and hide and seek game.

The app includes four unique activities for you and your child to enjoy:

• READ – Every page includes dynamic narration, playful voices, custom animations and easy to read words with highlighted text.

• PAINTING – With a colorful palette to choose from, kids can customize fun and original illustrations of Bob and the team or reveal the masterpiece beneath.

• WATCH – Vibrant CGI animated clips from the original episode featuring, Bob, Muck and the rest of the team.

• PLAY – Find Muck, Scoop, Lofty and the rest of Bob’s team in the Dinosaur Fun Park. With this imaginative hide and seek game, Bob fans are guaranteed hours of fun.

 

MY THOUGHTS:

This Bob the Builder app is an adorably illustrated app.  It has the following sections within it:  Read, Videos, Painting, and a Find It game.  The Reading section is interactive and my boys love hearing the story over and over again.  The video section has four cute less than one minute clips to watch.  The painting has tons of Bob-filled pages to color.  I did though wish there was an easy way to quickly erase the page and start again, other than coloring it white which puts it back to the original.  Finally the Find it Game has a scene where you have to find all the Bob trucks, and it does mix up after you find them all.  Overall, this app is a hit with my Bob the Builder fans (3 and 5 years old).  It is simple but fun and with four activities it keeps them busy and entertained!

BUY IT: You can download Bob The Builder: Muck’s Train To Trouble – HiT Entertainment for your iPad for $2.99.
