Preschool Connect the Dots Game to Learn Numbers and the Alphabet with 200+ Puzzles

Our Review

“Preschool Connect the Dots…” is a phenomenal value with a whopping 200+ puzzles offered and a plethora of settings that allows you to customize the experience for different ages, interests, and skill/competency levels. At first glance, the screen is full of what looks like a flurry of random dots with numbers or letters, but once you start connecting them, a rough sketch appears. When you finish the puzzle, you’re rewarded with a picture that completes the sketch. My favorite features include the option to choose from five different puzzle themes/topics (e.g. animals, transportation), the high quality sounds effects and narration, and the multitude of learning opportunities offered. From an educational perspective, this app helps preschoolers sharpen skills including object identification and pronunciation, counting, letters (upper and lower case options). We look forward to many, many hours of fun and enjoyment connecting the dots.

The Preschool Connect the Dots Game bridges the gap between the traditional "Dot to dot" game and 21st century technology! Learning has never been so mobile(TM).

Children can "tap" or "draw" to connect sequential numbers (123), upper case letters (ABC), and lower case letters (abc). Joining all the dots forms the outline of the shape and reveals the beautifully illustrated image, a really fun sound effect, and the object name spoken by a speech therapist that specializes in early childhood development!

With over 200 puzzles, children can randomly play from all the categories of:

Transportation (26 puzzles)
like Ambulance, Airplane, Bicycle and Bulldozer...

Musical instruments (35 puzzles)
like Accordion, Banjo, Clarinet, and Drum Set...

Animals and Bugs (86 puzzles)
like Armadillo, Bat, Cheetah, and Dolphin...

Food (28 puzzles)
like Apple, Birthday Cake, and Candy Canes...

Objects (34 puzzles)
like Microphone, Magnifying Glass and Mail Box...
