Picture Dots

A lot or a little?

Parents need to know that Picture Dots is an education app that allows kids to create content by adding interactive dots, representing sounds, music, or words, to pictures. It's one of the "noticing tools" designed by the New York Hall of Science. The app's open-ended design is intended to empower little ones to be at the helm of how to use the app. Kids get to decide whether to use the app's functions to tell stories, look for patterns, practice naming objects, create personalized content, or any other innovative purpose they come up with. To use Picture Dots, kids choose one of the pictures provided or upload one of their own. The app includes some sounds, but little ones also have the option of recording their own to add a personalized touch. Kids can save creations and share them via email, and the app's features are available in English and Spanish. Read the developer's privacy policy for details on how your (or your kids') information is collected, used, and shared and any choices you may have in the matter, and note that privacy policies and terms of service frequently change.
