This is a really cute and colorful app. My kids (2 and 5) really enjoy playing through it and have played it through multiple times. While its the same story line each time, the recipe does change. It is very interactive and has positive food and clean up associations.
This is an interactive story that has a great idea portrayed. I do not believe it is suitable for 4+, which was stated in the link to the app store. It might be too easy for typical developing preschool users. Those with special needs, or language delay, would benefit from this app because of it's nature in working on multiple skill areas; however, I think it is geared for younger kids with the simplicity of the graphics and ease of interactive pieces. This app is a fairly accurate portrayal of a dinnertime routine. Items are labeled for vocabulary growth, following direction skills are tapped into, and fine motor movement is necessary.
This is a great app for little ones and preschoolers to learn a dinner time sequence or routine. It takes the child through shopping, putting groceries away, cooking, setting the table, serving the meal, eating, dessert, and cleaning the table/dishes! Each step includes mini-tasks for the child to complete that encourages vocabulary building and listening skills. There is a bonus game where you get to feed little characters and munch the food with your fingers! Very cute!
My preschool and kindergarten children liked this app. The different activities were engaging and fun. The only draw back is that you have to wait for the narrator to stop speaking before you can complete the task - sometimes this is hard for impulsive children. It was worth the purchase price! My students ask to play it again and again!
Bo's Dinnertime is a great app for young children and introducing them to the full process of mealtime - preparing, eating, and cleaning up after a meal. Many healthy foods are included, as well as a variety of treats. There is a mini-game where you select different foods and "eat" them by tapping on them. This is a good first step for kids with an aversion to certain foods. The music and artwork are bright and appealing to young kids! Fun!
This app is very cute and well made. My children really seemed to enjoy the app and found it fun to go shopping and cook with the giraffe. The sound is very well done and easy to understand. I really like the giraffe character and so do my children. This is a fun, easy to use, and educational app. I would highly highly highly recommend this app to others :)
This app helps with Step by Step Routine, Counting, Matching and Recognition of items. It works all Fine motor skills. I found it very easy to navigate and the Voice was clear and fun. Added bonus was the burping ( something all children find funny even adults). I love the idea behind this app. When a child is involved in a process, they see for themselves and want to then try it. Feeding has become a huge issue for children today and Bo’s Dinnertime helps to explain the process in a way a child gets. Hidden sounds are there, very fun when the kids find them.
This app works on basic concepts for younger children in a dinnertime setting. A toddler may struggle to complete the tasks without adult assistance, particularly the puzzle type activities that require exact matching instead of close or "magnetized" proximity to the desired space. It would be fun to have an option to allows the child to pick what food to buy from the grocery store. Overall has a good concepts, fun music, and is brightly colored.
Bo's Dinnertime follows a giraffe named Bo step by step through dinnertime. This involves not only purchasing ingredients, preparing a meal, serving a meal, and cleaning up after dinner. The application is great for children to learn the steps to prepare a meal. The narration, animation, and flashing of the icons are also great for children with special needs to learn how to sequence through mealtime and learn how to follow directions. The app would be perfect with a little more interactivity in the fact that all of the icons available for dinner should be movable and the application should allow for children to make mistakes. That way, they can learn to go back and fix the directions they did not follow correctly. In addition, some of the flashing is distracting, but it is also important because it helps cue children as to what to do next.
