New York and London — HIT Entertainment and P2 Games have announced the launch of Bob the Builder’s Playtime Fun for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch, available in Apple’s App store this week. This first game app for Bob the Builder offers preschoolers interactive early learning fun across a varied range of easy-to-play games and activities.
Bob the Builder’s Playtime Fun offers young builders six exciting new games with Bob and the machine team that play on the brand’s message of positive thinking, problem solving and teamwork. Throughout the app, Bob the Builder encourages kids as they navigate each game. The app also showcases a bonus sticker book where players collect virtual stickers of their favourite members of the Can-Do Crew throughout each game.
Playtime Fun is created with colourful artwork from Bob the Builder’s vibrant CGI world and features favourite characters including Muck, Scoop, Dizzy, and Bob himself. Games include “Clean the Can Do Crew” where children help Bob wash and hose down his muddy crew; and “Mix and Paint” where kids can mix paints together to create their own unique colours. The app also includes match, puzzles, and memory games.
