Paddington Bear’s Adventures

What it is: 6 play activities with Paddington Bear. 3 levels of difficulty each activity (apart from the Dress up game).

What you do with it: 6 activities:

- spot the differences between 2 pictures

- make virtual marmalade using step by step instructions

- 'tidy up/pack the suitcase' (puzzles)

- 'help out' (object matching)

- Paddington goes home (jigsaw puzzles, 4-12 pieces each)

- dress up game (using items unlocked in previous activities as rewards)

What we liked: Paddington Bear. Original narration and artwork. Nice variety of activities (but please see the note below). Spoken instructions. The 'hints' function. Sound backgrounds and sounds.

What we didn't like: the educational value could be much higher. It is difficult to recommend this app to one age group: some of the activities are very simple (the dress up game) while other (spot the differences, the matching puzzles) require much more skill. Some of the activities (e.g. jigsaw puzzles) may pose extra challenge because of the monochrome color scheme used.

Bottom line: a 'must have' app for all Paddington Bear fans. The app got our 'Editor's Fav badge as Paddington is one of our reviewer's favorite character but if you are not sure - see our See Before You Buy video (below).
