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 BOB THE BUILDER: CAN-DO ZOO, a downloadable preschool computer edutainment title. Kids join Bob and his truck friends to build five enclosures for the elephants, penguins, monkeys, alligators, and lions.

To construct the enclosures, kids play a series of building games with Bob. The games can be played on three levels of difficulty. On the easiest, kids will do things like paint the fence for the enclosure by completing a simple pattern of alternating colors. On the harder levels, the patterns get more complicated and incorporate more colors of paint. In all, there are seven educational games that teach patterning, color and shape recognition, object classification and problem-solving. These games can be played separately from the adventure. Every time children finish a round of a game, they earn a Bob the Builder sticker that can be used in a separate art activity.

The sleepy town of Bobland has received a surprise shipment of animals destined for the Bobland Bay Zoo. Unfortunately, the Bobland Bay Zoo doesn’t actually exist! Luckily, Bob the Builder and his Can-Do Crew are ready to spring into action! Help Bob the Builder build a zoo before the animals turn the town upside down. Can you fix it? Yes, you can!

Teaches Valuable Life Skills

The majority of games for preschoolers focus on teaching foundational skills like letter and number recognition. Bob the Builder – Can Do Zoo tackles more advanced concepts in a way that’s intuitive, fun and easy to understand. Critical thinking has never been so fun! This game covers the following skills:

• Problem Solving: Can we fix it? Yes, we can! Bob the Builder has a reputation for teaching children about the power of a can do attitude, and this game follows in that tradition. Preschoolers are introduced to random problems that require unique solutions, and this shows children that problems are merely puzzles waiting to be solved. This mindset leads to success in all areas of life.
• Colors, Shapes, and Patterns: The real world is full of shapes, patterns and colors. In this game, players frequently encounter pattern and color puzzles that require memory and recognition. Essential shapes, colors and patterns are gently drilled through minigame activities throughout the game, leading to familiarity.
• Linear Directions: Following directions is one of the most essential life skills, but it can be difficult to teach a preschool child about the importance of following directions in a step-by-step manner. Bob the Builder – Can Do Zoo teaches children the value of linear directions naturally by introducing them to the building process. Kids complete blueprints and are rewarded for building structures in a logical manner.
