What's It About?
KIDDOPIA - ABC TODDLER GAMES is a collection of games and activities designed to entertain and educate kids. Kids swipe left or right to choose a game icon that interests them. There are educational videos for little kids, animated jigsaw puzzles, and animal games that encourage nurturing (feeding, medical care, grooming), as well as more academic pursuits (letters, spelling, etc.). By helping doctors, mechanics, and police officers in the Community Helpers game, kids can simulate real life. They can whip up their favorite foods in the Junior Chef's Cafe and pamper guests at the Pixie Dust Spa and Salon (hair, makeup, nails, etc.). Math Whiz and Lingo Land have a range of early math and literacy skills activities, including counting, sorting, colors, shapes, and letters. And you never quite know what you'll find in Alex the Explorer (in one game, we helped him replace some light bulbs). There are also some augmented reality activities like decorating a Christmas tree and caring for a puppy.
Is It Any Good?
With a wealth of activities, this will certainly keep kids entertained, but the lack of focus and filters are drawbacks. Kiddopia - ABC Toddler Games certainly has something for everyone, but that may also be its downfall. It feels confusing, and it's hard to determine the exact intended audience. The math and literacy games offer a PreK path and a K path of leveled activities, which helps guide kids a bit. But there is still a range of activity types, from sorting shapes to doing subtraction. And there's lots to choose from in the main and sub menus; some kids may find it hard to focus. Moreover, some of the activities are too much for the age level. Administering needle injections, cleaning fleas, applying pimple cream, and working as a police sketch artist are pursuits that some parents may prefer to hold for more mature kids. For families who do enjoy the content, there's a lot of it, making the subscription fee a lot more palatable.

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
