Tools include the drill, hammer, saw, sprayer, screwdriver, and sander. The Tonka Joe Button on the playset acts like a click of the mouse, and pressing it will select the highlighted hotspot on the screen. The Cellar is a freeplay building activity. Kids express their creativity on a sheet of wood, and every press of a tool will bring up a new item such as a nail or paint onto the wood. In the Storage Shed, kids create sculptures from either cement, steel, or wood.
Players use their tools to chip away at the different materials, and what they create is a surprise.
The bridge, picket fence, and a bike are in need of repair. Kids race to get rid of termites, and repeat sounds using their tools. Tonka Joe serves as a helpful host who guides kids through the various activities, and the Tape Measure contains some handy icons that allow kids to navigate through the game, print a completed project, start a project all over again, and exit the game. It is best for preschoolers because the activities pretty much guarantee success and are very straightforward. DirectX 5.2 is required and included.
