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 suggesting a diversity update.

What Parents Need to Know
Parents need to know that Artsee Activities is a wonderful visual guessing game for kids which also gives them the visceral thrill of splattering paint on a canvas. As they tap the blank screen, they'll splash different colored blotches of paint around. Those splashes will reveal the outline of a hidden animal or object, which the children then need to identify. Pre-readers can use "easier" mode to choose from pictorial answers, while "harder" mode uses spelled-out words.

Is It Any Good?
ARTSEE ACTIVITIES allows players to splatter paint all over the place -- what kid doesn't love that? And if the process wasn't fun enough, then there's the visual guessing game that is revealed through all that paint-splashing. The two difficulty levels -- one with verbal answers, one with pictorial answers -- make this a good selection for kids anywhere from age 3 all the way to 6 or even 7. In a way, Artsee Activities is cross between flashcards and a puzzle game. But however you want to define it, it's a great activity for young kids.
