Dots 4 Tots ($0.99)
Version – 1.0
Review – “Educate and entertain your toddler with one simple app!”
If you find yourself regularly trying to keep a young child occupied, you may want to take a look at the Dots 4 Tots app! Dots 4 Tots offers four different modes of play and hours of entertainment for toddlers! It does this by providing a screen full of dots and numbers that need to be connected to make a picture!
From the moment you open up this app it is full of all kinds of color! The main menu has four different game modes to choose from that are represented by a picture, a number,
a letter, and a shape. Just below these games are two other buttons that allow you to view “add-ons” and the “information” page that tells you about the developer.
The first game mode is the one represented by the picture. In this game your child when the child connects the dots he or she will be rewarded with a random picture that matches up with them. the pictures that come built into this app are of all different kinds of sea-life.
The second game type is a number recognition game. In this game when your child traces the dots a number will appear! When the number appears 
you’ll see the number spelled out at the top of the screen, and a voice will pronounce the number. This is a great way for your child to correlate visual representations of numbers with their names!
The third game is a letter recognition game. It works in basically the same way as the number game, and is an excellent way to teach your child the alphabet! As in the number game, when the dots are all connected your child will see the letter they were tracing and will hear the name of the letter as well.
The final game type consists of a variety of different shapes. You’ll find that there are a variety of shapes used in this game from simple ones like circle, triangle, and square, down to more complex shape names such as rhombus, star and cube! Just as in the previous games your child will hear the name of the shape once they have traced it.
While I must admit that connecting the dots on a touch screen was a little bit weird at first, the 
combination of colors, soothing music and learning make this game a winner for your child! Connecting the dots in this app is simple enough for even small children to figure it out, as long
as they are old enough to start recognizing their numbers.
One thing that I did notice, that your child may not, is that the selection of pictures is fairly limited. It starts showing the same pictures over and over again fairly quickly. With that said if your child gets good at connecting the dots you can add some more pictures to the app via in-app purchase. At the time of this review there were 3 different packages of images on a variety of themes for just $0.99 each!
All things considered this app is one of the best combinations of entertainment and education I’ve seen for parents of toddlers. If you regularly find yourself looking for a distraction for your small child you can’t afford not to grab this app up for just $0.99! If you’re still not sure why not download the free version and decide for yourself today?
