HOW TO PLAY

BOB’S LEARNING WORKSHOP combines the fun action of building interactively with your own hammer, screwdriver, and drill with the friendly world of BOB THE BUILDER to encourage learning. Bob’s friendly voice and the interactivity of doing your own building, the learning fun goes on for hours.

Choose the mode/way you wish to play: BUILD or IDENTIFY. Then press the ON button to start having fun with Bob!

IDENTIFY MODE

In the IDENTIFY mode, you can hit a NUMBER button or a SHAPE (rectangle, triangle or circle), or use the HAMMER to hit the NAILS, the SCREWDRIVER to screw the SCREWS or operate the DRILL and Bob will identify your action for you.

BUILD MODE

In the BUILD mode, you and your child are interactively building with Bob!

After turning ON the unit, you will hear a friendly greeting from BOB. “HELLO, I’M BOB. CAN WE BUILD IT? YES WE CAN! READY TO BUILD? I NEED YOUR HELP ON THIS PROJECT. LET’S BUILD A….”

Then Bob will tell you the project you are building for instance a house for Pilchard, a school or a chair.

Then Bob will ask your child to do a combination of tasks. He will ask a different number of tasks each time. All the tasks will involve either using the hammer and hammering a specific nail, using the screwdriver and screwing a specific screw, pulling down on the handle of the drill press, or picking out a number for measuring or a specific shape for windows.

For measuring, he will say, “CAN YOU HELP ME MEASURE A PIECE OF WOOD _____ UNITS LONG. Bob will say a number such as “5 UNITS LONG.” Then your child should press the number button “5”.

If you child presses the wrong button, Bob will tell him or her so -- and give your child another chance to do the activity correctly before moving on to another task.

For the screwdriver, Bob will say, “NOW WE NEED TO TURN THE (small or large) SCREW ____ TIMES.”

Your child will then need to turn the screwdriver in the specific screw the required number of times.

For the hammer, Bob will say, “NOW WE NEED TO HAMMER SOME NAILS. CAN YOU HIT THE (small, medium, large) NAIL ____ TIMES?”

Your child will then need to use the hammer to hit that nail the required number of times.

For the drill, Bob will say, “NOW WE NEED TO DRILL. PULL THE DRILL HANDLE ____ TIMES.”

Your child will then need to pull down on the handle of the drill press the required number of times.

When you’re building a house, Bob might say, “LET’S BUILD A HOUSE WITH (triangle, rectangle or circle) SHAPED WINDOWS.

For this activity, Bob will say, “FIND THE (circle, rectangle, triangle) SHAPED WINDOWS. Then your child will also be required to find and press the correct SHAPE to complete the windows!

For ALL the activities, Bob will always give your child three chances to do the job correctly.

After a number of tasks are completed, Bob will say, “LET’S SEE HOW OUR (the specific job) TURNED OUT!”

WHEN A JOB IS COMPLETED CORRECTLY

When your child has built the job correctly, Bob will let you know - and you will see an animation on screen of the finished product looking great.

WHEN A JOB IS COMPLETED INCORRECTLY

When your child has made a mistake, Bob will tell you that also - and you will see a funny animation of the job going haywire!

ENCOURAGING WORDS

Bob has plenty of encouraging things to say to your child whether the child has done a job perfectly or not. Throughout play, Bob remains your child’s friend and biggest supporter.

COUNTING TOGETHER

Bob also loves to count! On a regular basis throughout play in the BUILD mode, Bob will ask your child to join him as he counts out loud. As Bob says each number, the number will appear on the LCD screen to reinforce the learning. There is no action required of the child when counting with Bob other than counting along out loud.

When an activity is completed, Bob will ask your child for help on his NEXT project! Each time you and your child build with Bob, Bob’s requests will be different! So the fun goes on and on and on!

TURNING THE UNIT OFF

BOB’S LEARNING WORKSHOP has an automatic shut-off feature to help prolong battery life. After a brief period of inactivity, Bob prompts your child for a response. If your child doesn’t respond by doing a task or pressing a button, Bob will repeat the prompt again. If there is still no activity, the unit will then automatically turn itself off. Press the “ON” button can then restart the toy.

NOTE: Your child needs to wait until after Bob has stopped talking before pressing a button or shape or before using a tool. Pressing a button or activity made while Bob is still speaking will not register.
