The Polka Dot Park series is an exciting and flexible resource that enables young children to develop their understanding of science with the help of three engaging characters: Polka, Dot and Bob the Hedgehog.
Each CD-ROM contains nine realistic scenarios for children to explore, for example planting seeds in the potting shed, making a new pond or crushing items in the recycling centre. Children can be guided through activities by Polka, the friendly adult rabbit, or they can learn through exploration with Dot, the lovable child rabbit. Alternatively, the narration-free ‘on your own’ mode is perfect for use on an interactive whiteboard. Children can also complete Bob the Hedgehog’s short, focused activities to consolidate their understanding of key processes and vocabulary.
