Bob the builder - HE'S ALIVE!!!!

Advantages: Don't have to go out for the live show.
Disadvantages: Six foot Bob's!!

...In my obssesion to get christmas bought and paid for by the end of the summer, i have crossed paths of a certain builder!!!! I will try to review this LIVE dvd version of Bob the builder, and try to do it justice as even though i feel parents should not be forced to watch some of the dreadful programmes that are made for children, feel i owe some loyalty to Bob, one of my main childsitters bar my mum!!!!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Background~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Bob the builder and characters are clay characters created by Cody Hill. The animation is produced in the uk, but as with so many things is then poached and finished off in the United States for the company Hit Entertainment. The animation itself draws heavily on the stop motion techniques pioneered by Art Cloakey and inspired by Aardman Animations. The programme...

Review of Bob The Builder Live! (DVD)

Bob the Builder

Advantages: keeps children happy
Disadvantages: none

...button is situated under his trousers. He costs around £14.99 to buy you can get him from shops like index, toys?r?us, Argos and most other toy shops. There are loads of other Bob the builders in the range like books, puzzles, toys, DVDs and videos. I am very happy with the Bob the builder he keeps my baby entertained for hours and is very useful for keeping her occupied in the car when we go out. He is for children aged 12 months plus due to the small parts that a baby could chew on. Some people would say that £14.99 is expensive for a toy but he entertains your child and keeps them happy for hours so you can get on with things you need to do. I am very glad I brought it for her and have purchased a couple more bob the builder toys for her to play with and she loves them all. Sitting there playing with them while watching her video. I...

Review of Bob the Builder Soft Toy

Scrambling with Bob the builder

Advantages: good toy
Disadvantages: none

...Scrambler This born to play toy a replica of the one Bob the builder has gives great fun to children who love Bob the builder TV programme and books. Scrambler as you might guess from the name is a vehicle that can scramble around on rough ground, on building sites (or the gravel/sand play pits) . This toy often comes with a little trailer and a jointed Bob the builder figure. This is a blue vehicle with seating for one toy person. It has handle bars not a steering wheel for turning. When this toy is rolled along the ground the googly eyes on the front jiggle up and down. This is a friction vehicle and can be made to zoom pretty fast across a solid floor. This toy as the other Bob the builder toys is plastic its well made should last many play hours. Ideal for both home and play settings. Children really do love this...

bob the builder website

Advantages: great fun for kids,
Disadvantages: none

...Everyone I think has heard of bob the builder and his team of trusty machines, that include Scoop, Lofty, dizzy, muck, Dizzy, Travis, Wendy and co. who help him in his days work around the town. Even my mother, who lives overseas had heard of bob the builder! The website, www.bobthebuilder.com has been set up as an extension of the television programme and to introduce the Internet to children, not that they need much introduction these days, many children are better at understanding the net than their parents! The site is very easy to navigate, you can even download the bob the builder video!!! It is my wakeup call now in the morning, as my 2 year old is able to open it himself! (how I regret teaching him that!!) The site itself is best viewed using a 56k modem, as any lower than this and it is very slow. The site comprises...

Your child can make Bob the builder and his friends move

Advantages: children like these figures
Disadvantages: none

...For a Bob the builder fan this set of plastic characters will give much fun. They can be played with alongside the Bob the Builder friction toys I have been recently reviewing . There are 5 figures in this collectionh Bob, Wendy, Marjorie, Farmer Pickles and Pilchard the Cat. I saw them in John Lewis for £9.95 I am not sure where school got them from or how much they cost , but these figures by are available at several other on and off line shops ? John Lewis price is good seen them at £10 and over . These figures have moveable heads, legs, arms, tail. They are about 10cm tall They all have moveable heads, arms and legs/tail. . I will not describe each character individually enough to say they look identical to the pictures of these characters both in the books and the TV programes. Your child will recognize them...
