Who are
the Wonkidos:
The Wonkidos are fun, silly characters that teach children
important lessons in a fun animated way. Each story models correct
behaviours and teachers fun lessons for all ages! The characters are
Sparkles, Wobbles, Stacks and Apps.
Sparkles
Named for her big personality, tiny Sparkles shines as
the only girl of the Wonkidos. She is so sweet, that she wears her colorful
heart on the front of her pink dress. With her microphone in hand, Sparkles is
always ready to sing and dance. Sparkles dreams of creating her own music video
where she performs her favorite songs. She just might ask you to pick up a
microphone and sing along with her!
Wobbles
No other Wonkido can stretch, bounce and change their
shape as wildly as Wobbles and to do this, it takes very special creativity and
imagination! Wobbles especially loves to use his creativity and imagination to
play pretend and be super silly! Be prepared to go on a fun and amazing
journeys to far away lands and or be silly and pretend play with Wobbles
However, sometimes Wobbles just likes to lay next to his friends and let them
read to him while he falls asleep.
Stacks
Strong, Powerful, but Super Soft and Cuddly, Stacks is the
Biggest of the Wonkidos. He loves to stay fit and healthy and that is why he is
always exercising. Every morning, Stacks wakes up and does his own exercise
routine to workout his muscles to stay strong. He is always looking for a
workout partner and he just might want you to join him. Stacks is one of the
best friends you can have, because when you need some extra muscle, Stacks is
always there to help!
Apps
Super Smart with computers and programming, Apps built his
own computer program called Mr. KNOW IT ALL to help answer everyday questions.
Anytime someone needs an answer, Apps touches the computer pad on his chest to
ask Mr. KNOW IT ALL and we quickly hear Mr. KNOW IT ALL come to life by singing
"I Do, We Do, You Do, Wonkido!" On his spare time, you can find Apps
working on making fun and educational computer games to help everyone learn
something new and exciting about the world we live in.

Description:
Evan is a young boy who loves playing with his favorite
toys, the Wonkidos! Wobbles, Stacks, Apps and Sparkles spring to life in Evan's
imagination, and together with Mr. Know-It-All, help Evan learn valuable social
skills in a fun and entertaining way!
Asking a friend to play is difficult for some children.
This ebook will teach step by step how to ask a friend to play with you.
Special topics include eye contact, communication and smiling at friends.
Children will learn proper ways to approach and greet another child, as well as
ways to ask them to play and listen to their response.
AppAbles Opinion:
Playing With Friends is 36 page eBook with Interactive
Audio. The 1st section of the book goes
through how to Play With Friends! The 2nd half of the book Evan puts into
practice the steps he has just learnt.
The first thing that comes to mind with this ebook, is what
a fantastic idea this is, particularly for our children. The first 31 pages talk about how to ‘play
with a friend’ step by step instruction, you just select 1, 2, 3 etc on each page, role modeling/role playing done in
the most wonderful, thoughtful way – a lot of time has gone into getting the
steps right. I like the number on each
picture. The text is read at a great
speed.
The last 2 pages Evan puts what he has learned into
practice and it is a success.I like the idea of the videos (please see link below for this Episode and another link to all Episodes) + Handouts & Worksheets (link below) and the very cute Plush Toys (link below) to help the children have a far richer learning experience. Whether your child be a visual, auditory or for my daughter tactile, the Brighter Futures for Beautiful Minds (BFBM) have thought of a whole learning experience for our children. Thank you
I think I will be buying quite a few of the Wonkido Apps with my next iTunes Card.
