Puzzle Play Dot-to-Dots (Mac App)

Dot-to-dot puzzles sharpen creativity, concentration and eye-hand concentration, and these dot-to-dots also build counting and alphabet skills! That’s not all: This app also enhances kids’ listening, observation, and problem-solving skills, all so important to school success.

The kid-friendly approach of Puzzle Play Dot-to-Dots turns your computer into a puzzle-making machine. Just add imagination! This software helps children become puzzle-makers. With step-by-step audio guidance, they can use one of 15 templates or make an original dot-to-dot puzzle from either letters or numbers, for a friend or family member to play. Creative “extras” make it even more special! For example, the Paint-and-Fill tool allows for coloring the puzzle—or parts of it—in different patterns. Plus, there are 9 pages of customizing features and accessories, ranging from noses and claws, to shoes and toys. Build a dot-to-dot monster, critter, pal, or superstar. With one click the puzzle-maker can start all over. Virtually endless variations are possible. If a child wishes to solve a puzzle rather than create one, he or she just selects Play and lets the computer do the creating.

Kids can also choose to print out a dot-to-dot puzzle for doing anywhere, anytime, or sharing with friends and even combining printed puzzles into a personal book of dot-to-dots. This software program is great for the whole family. Whether your child loves the challenge of solving puzzles or creating them, Puzzle Play Dot-to-Dots offers hours and hours of opportunities.
