Quizzing Toddler Preschool
What's It About?
Quizzing Toddler Preschool is a multiple-choice identification game with many categories of words kids can learn. Parents control which categories kids will practice; they can start kids with colors, shapes, and numbers 1 to 9, for example. More challenging categories include fractions and specific tree and bird names. When kids select an incorrect choice, it disappears, narrowing the items to choose from. A correct choice leads to clapping and kids shouting "yay!" After a few rounds, kids earn a sticker for a virtual sticker book.
Is It Any Good?
Parents of a toddler created QUIZZING TODDLER PRESCHOOL, and it shows. It's straightforward and simple, yet offers parents plenty of options to challenge young learners (though the fractions, Roman numerals, tree, and flower categories do go a little far in that regard). And the sticker page will help concentrating kids take a breather and say "oooh, clown fish sticker." The applause and "yays" for correct answers are nice, but come out quite loud, even on the quietest setting. It's a small quibble about an otherwise fun way to tailor learning for little ones.
Talk to Your Kids About ...
When kids get stumped on an object, repeat the object name to them and describe it. If possible, remind them where they've seen that object before.
Point out shapes, colors, animals, etc., everywhere you go with your child and talk through descriptions of them.
Pick up books from the library that relate to a child's new vocabulary.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by
