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 Preschool Connect the Dots is an educational game that teaches children numbers and ABCs by challenging them to connect the dots in numerical and alphabetical order. Various settings can be changed to make the game easier or harder. Making the settings screen inaccessible after the game is started is an additional safety measure which prevents children from accidentally changing settings or accessing the marketing and email capabilities of the app.

Is It Any Good?
PRESCHOOL CONNECT THE DOTS is a simple, well-designed app: children touch the dots in numerical or alphabetical order, and are rewarded with a picture, a sound, and the name of the object. The app is created so that children cannot access the settings page, which is a great idea especially for younger kids who might tap anything that looks like a button. The main flaw is that the quality of the artwork is inconsistent -- it looks like simplistic clip art. Also, most of the puzzles are pretty simple outlines and could almost be done without knowing numerical/alphabetical order, simply by finding the start and going around the outside. It would be nice to see a similar app with more complex shapes that challenges children to look for the next number or letter.
