The Beddy the Truck website which is packed full of resources to teach kids about road safety
Eye Spy with Beddy is based on the car game "I Spy with my little eye". When you load the app you can have four options: Play to start the game, High Score which lists top scores, My Finds where all the items you have previously found are listed and Credits which lists the app credits. To start the game select Play then select a level, the difficulty can be changed by swiping horizontally between Easy, Medium and Hard, choose the scene you want to play from a choice of eighteen and the game starts. You then have to race against the timer to find the things you are asked for before it runs out. The app is a lot of fun to play and great for developing your child's observational, concentration and recognition skills. As you get get asked to find things by their name or first letter it helps to grow your child's vocabulary and spellings too.
Eye Spy with Beddy - Ben loves this Space scene
Hide ‘n’ Seek with Beddy is a fun, different app and the first of it's kind that I have come across. It is based on the well loved game, "Hide n Seek" and to play you simply set the timer, hide the phone, listen for the horn and then find the phone before the timer runs out. The horn sounds every 10 seconds to help you find it while in countdown mode and continuously once the time is up. I have yet to come across a child who doesn't enjoy playing Hide 'n' Seek in it's traditional form so you can be sure that this app is bound to be a hit with all who play it. It is great fun to play in groups or as a family and you have the added bonus that your child is getting some exercise while playing.
Hide 'n' Seek with Beddy
Both these apps are a big hit with Ben who loves playing them. He loves the different scenes in Eye Spy with Beddy, his favorite is the space scene, mine is the London one where you have to find the London Eye and Big Ben. There is also a lot of excitement when we play Hide "n" Seek and we have had a lot of fun finding creative places to hide the phone which makes me thankful that the horn sounds continuously when the time runs out or it may have been a challenge to find it on a few occasions.
