Previously reviewed on Smart Apps For Kids and given a four-star rating, Bo's Bedtime Story is another great Heppi app for your Android device.
"Bottom line: Cute way to teach or reinforce a bedtime routine while working on matching, sorting and fine motor skills. iPad only.
Bo’s Bedtime Story is a bit of a misnomer because the app is not actually a bedtime story. The app consists of 10 games suitable for toddlers and pre-schoolers, each one dealing with one element of a child’s typical bedtime routine."

Bo is a likeable giraffe who goes through his bedtime routine of tidying up his toys, having a bath, putting his dirty clothes in the laundry, changing into his pajamas, brushing his teeth and reading a story. It's a good way to reinforce your own child's bedtime routine to help him or her settle more quickly at night time.
Now, here's the catch: Bo performs all of these routine tasks as interactive activities with your child. While Bo is tidying his toys, your child is practicing sorting skills. While Bo is having his bath, your child is learning to count. While Bo is putting on his pajamas, your child is learning about colors and matching. This is why we love Heppi apps so much — they have perfected the art of learning through play on a tablet.
