Is It Any Good?
KIDCALC CHRISTMAS MATH FUN provides some basic math games, and can help kids practice some basic math skills. But don't expect any overwhelmingly detailed Christmas-related games and activities directly associated with the holidays. It's really just images of the holiday theme tacked onto the basic math games from the original app. For kids to really enjoy and make use of this app, the many settings must be adjusted to their age and expectations of how a game will function.
The number tracing activity is disappointing in that it allows kids to trace incorrectly without giving corrective feedback. And the toddler voice, while cute, models pronunciation incorrectly.

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.
