Ideal for children 2-6, Dots 4 Tots teaches your children Animals, Shapes, Letters and Numbers, all while improving their hand-eye coordination and motor skills.

Vibrant colors, encouraging sound effects and voice prompts not only teach basic concepts and patterns, but builds children’s self-confidence as well.

Select a category and then using the app’s helpful prompts, children simply trace their finger from point to point to complete the pattern. Connect the dots and…surprise…the image transforms into a colorful picture that is sure to delight and encourage further play.”

Why we like it?
Connecting the dots games are among my favorite games when I was a kid (still love it). I just loved finding out what was hidden on the pages as I followed the numbers with my pen.

‘Dots for tots’ is a version of that activity thought and simplified for toddlers and pre-schoolers and added with interactivity that only an iApp can offer. Choose from different themes  and simply connect the dots to unveil the figures. Kids exercise memorizing the sequence of numbers as they  learn letter, shapes, animals, etc.

The app comes with 4 sets of figures (letters, numbers, shapes, animals) and you can buy extras (dinosaurs, cars, girls)
