Parents, looking for an educational tool that will help develop cognitive tools such as pattern recognition, picture association, and others. Then Bob the Builder and the Can Do Zoo is perfect. It is entertaining and has been a great tool for my cousins. Trust me when I say, it is a great way to help promote the importance of teamwork and education to your children.
Bob is a character that promotes hard work, teamwork, and loyalty to ones friends and goals. The game promotes children to be more explorative, and to apply the knowledge from the game to the outside world. It is perfect for children up to the first or second grade level. Parents you will be happy to hear that your children are playing video games.
The game play is very simple, and your children should be able to pick it up and play. The directions are not difficult, but the force the user to listen, and it will help increase your child's listening skills as he/she prepares to start school.
The only negatives that are apparent is the shortness of the game. It has several levels, and tests several different abilities, but when I was playing it with my cousins, it seemed to end to quickly. The one thing that is apparent is its repeatability. Although I was done with the game when all the levels were finished, my cousins continued to play it, and tried to perfect their abilities to solve the puzzles.
When Christmas shopping this year, make sure to check out Bob, and give your children an enjoyable atmosphere to learn and interact at positive levels.
USA Today Reports: "When Bob the Builder, the cartoon handyman of PBS fame, discovers penguins in the ice cream shop, alligators in the public pool, and a lion on top of the mayor's desk, he swings into action to build the Bobland Bay Zoo. But Bob the Builder and his animated truck friends can't do all this building alone. They need the help of your child in this new preschool computer edutainment title."
