BUILD YOUR SCENE
Build 12 thematic scenes with fun activities for Beck and Bo to play in: beach, jungle, grocery store, train trip, snowman, ocean, back yard, theme park, river boating, playground, city, bedroom. Each scene is like a puzzle that you put together by dragging & dropping characters, animals and objects to appropriate places. Kids have to think logically to find out where the puzzle pieces go: the sun in the sky, the fish in the water etc. Piece by piece, a beautiful, lively scene filled with sounds, words and animations comes to life!

PLAY HOUSE AND ENJOY FUN ACTIVITIES
This fun educational app offers a whole host of scenarios for creative pretend play. Play house in the bedroom and the back yard, pick and match food at the grocery store, swing and slide at the playground. Kids will love to swim and play ball at the beach, control the traffic in the city, pick apples from the apple tree, win prizes at the theme park and so much more!

EXPLORE, EXPERIMENT, DISCOVER
Explore and discover all the fun activities and interactions within a scene. Think creatively and experiment to find out how objects work in different places. "I wonder what would happen if I put the dog in the dog house?". "What if I put Beck on the boat?". "Does the ball float in water?".

LEARN NEW WORDS & SOUNDS
Tap on any object or animal in the scene to listen to its name and sound. The boat toots, the lion roars, the bird chirps. Toddlers & preschoolers build vocabulary and learn new words in visual context while making strong connections. Once a scene is completed, kids are rewarded by unlocking a sticker album where they can view all the scene’s objects, see how their words are spelled and listen to their sounds.

Pros and cons of Beck and Bo - Toddler Puzzles app for iPhone and iPad

Beck and Bo - Toddler Puzzles app good for

my 3-year old daughter loves it! the app is very well designed and allows kids to get familiar with the english language in an easy and fun way!
My daughter is in LOVE with these fun characters :) They interact with the backgrounds kinda like stickers, you can make them do only the preset actions which caused some frustration at first cause they wont go in the grocery cart or the house or switch beds. But she REALLY enjoys All the little games and I love the sounds and the fact that as she touches an object the app names the object.
This app is a lot of fun for kids to play and explore. Great for learning words and beginning reading. Nice graphics too.
This is a very sweet interactive app for toddlers. My two year old grandson loves it. The graphics are pleasant, and the narrator has a sweet voice. Very user friendly for little hands. LOVE it !!!
My kid loves this app, but I cant let her use language, couse we learn talk so very late, and its so important, that she must listen her own language, witch is polish... Please do is for us :)
Good games to learn English. A good interactive. My child is very happy! Please, add the other languages. Recommend app100.ru

Some bad moments

Cue sounds of applause. Crisp graphics, intuitive controls and engaging scenery. My 15 month old sits mesmerized as I show her this app, and tries (and often succeeds) to change scenes by dragging things on screen. Just wonderful.
Beck and Bo is a very cute app. The graphics and animationas are wonderfully done. My daughter is 4 and she pretty much knows a lot of the names in the apps. Except where they go grocery shopping I think there was a couple things she might not have knew. The interaction on some of the scenes are really fun. She really liked the grocery shopping and the amuzement park playing with the ball and the ducks. I also like the ease of moving through the app there is nothing that is complicated for little ones. I love that it has no ads. I would highly recommend this app.
Love this app! It has allowed our littlest (going to be 3 in a few days) to strengthen her point/touch to point/press, drag and drop abilities. She loves this app so much it has opened our much needed door to finially introduce other apps for therapy purposes :) :) :) An enjoyable User Experience for both of us!
Excellent Preschool app! Has the characters on tramplines for the dog or practice road safety with the cars aspect.
This app is exactly the app that I hunt for, apps of excellence! It is simplistic yet complex, extremely educational, packed with engaging fun activities and interactions! The added Words & Sounds albums are a great educational feature. Both my boys, 3&6, remain active throughout each of the 12 included scenes. The 3D scenes are amazing, as are the realistic sounds. The navigation is very child friendly. My 3 yr old is gaining a wealth of knowledge and needed skills while having fun, this is also a wonderful reinforcement app for my 6 yr old. I will certainly be on the lookout for future apps from this developer. I would HIGHLY recommend this app!
I downloaded this app this morning after seeing it featured on a Facebook post. Its fabulous! I am a speech therapist and I started using it right away! It was great for working with little guys on vocabulary related to a specific scene, locational words (I makes the kiddos tell me where they are going to put the pic before I let them do it), descriptive language, and pronouns. I like the simple one item to manipulate at a time format! Im sure this is going to be a favorite that my kids request again and again!
