Willie`s Bone is an educational, interactive book & game app for preschoolers. The app tells a story of Weenie Dog Willie who buried his bone on a farm and forgot where. Children follow the adventures of Willie and his friend, Pug Paul, and help them to find the bone in an interactive manner. During the search for Willie’s lost delicacy, the little ones discover the farming world and learn a lot of new things at the same time, e.g. various types of fruits and basic colors. They meet farm animals and learn where eggs, milk and wool come from.
The app offers three modes:
LISTEN + PLAY
Tells the Story with 5 dynamic tasks. The tasks changing small aspects of the questions, like colors or the order of how the answers will be shown. This prevents the children learn only the position of the correct answer from memory. This supports concentration and development of listening skills.
LOOK + LISTEN
Story with interactive elements on each page. To practice prepositions of place, such as on, under, next to, between etc. there is a mouse hidden in every screen.
PICS + PUZZLE
Jigsaw puzzle available in age-specific two difficulty levels (6 and 12 elements). The illustrations may be used to create an own story. This can help children to improve their speech development.
