Scan Ben and Bella illustrations with the innovative Ben and Bella – Treasure Box app and simultaneously hear the spoken vocabulary word of this image. This way young children can create their own audiovisual English dictionary of more than 300 key words. Many Ben and Bella illustrations also trigger animated cartoons, audio-books, songs and wonderful sing-and-dance videos to sing and dance along. All are narrated or sung by native English speakers. These not only entertain children but familiarize them with spoken English in no time. Make learning a multi sensory experience for your child. By scanning many illustrations you will also receive coloring templates which you can print for your child to color. Upon coloring your child can also scan these images and will receive more vocabulary words. Here’s how the app works: 1. You can register within the app to make sure your content remains yours, even when switching devices. 2. With your camera activated by the Ben and Bella – Treasure Box app, your child can start scanning images from all the Ben and Bella storybooks, sticker books, flashcards, activity books or from wherever he/she finds new Ben and Bella images. When the camera is aimed at an image, it will be identified verbally. The image is automatically added to your child’s Gallery, and the audiovisual English dictionary grows with every scan. 3. Encourage your child to go on a treasure hunt by searching for the illustrations that add Ben and Bella cartoons, audio-books and songs to the Gallery. These can be streamed or downloaded, allowing your child to play and learn not only at home but also on the go. Your child can collect all Ben and Bella cartoons, audio-books and songs and hundreds of key English words in just one app, learning hundreds of new vocabulary words and enjoying the diversity of real books, videos and music.
