This review should have been done a long time ago, however we’ve been too busy playing the game to be able to write about it. If you don’t want your Camera Roll loaded with images from Toca Builders, be sure to turn the snapshots setting off. They will also like the option to take pictures of their progress as they go. Kids will have fun experimenting with the different tools and watching their virtual worlds come to life. Whichever method of play your child prefers, the app is designed to work for them. Others will build a few structures, knock them down and start over again. Some kids will spend hours designing, building and perfecting their virtual worlds. They must figure out how to use the six tools they are given to create items such as trees or to add doors and windows to buildings. Problem-solving also comes into play as kids try to bring the vision of their world to life. Parents are encouraged to talk with kids about their virtual worlds and make up stories to go along with them. EducationĬreativity is the focus of Toca Builders. They also encourage kids to move beyond tapping, having them roll, stretch and move the characters in other unique ways as they create their worlds. Instead they use icons with symbols kids will learn to recognize and icons that respond as soon as they are clicked on. The designers did not add a lot of spoken or written instructions to cloud up the app. Kids will be immediately drawn to the look and feel of the app because it has been designed with them in mind. Like most Toca apps, Toca Builders is designed to be a high-quality app.
