If you imagine TOCA Builders as being like a Heath-Robinson pixel art tool, you're pretty much bang on the nail. Not a sweaty bum crack in sight!Ĭonnie (The crane), Blox (basher and builder), Cooper (he rolls paint around with his fab rollerball), Stretch (useful for reaching high places), Jum Jum (she's static but is a dab hand with her paint squirter) and Vex (who is deft and agile enough to climb up on blocks and lay down blocks too). Initially you're given a blank 'sandbox' to play in, and you're introduced to the builders themselves. It's more like a digital set of Hama beads - and in fact the principle of creating anything that 'looks like anything' is the same. Having already dipped our dainty toes into the intricate world of Minecraft, with Charlotte telling me what to do (as usual) and me trying to work out in my head how to build 'A love heart shaped house with a princess bed in it', I thought this would be a fantastic opportunity to let Charlotte loose with something similar - but slightly simpler for her age range.Īctually, describing TOCA Builders as being like Minecraft is a bit unfair. TOCA BOCA have been producing some of the best children's 'toy' apps for a long time now, and so we were extremely excited to hear that TOCA Builders would be next. The release of a new TOCA BOCA app is always cause for excitement at home.
