How do you turn a children's book into a lively, engaging experience? Here's an outstanding example. Based on the book by David Carter, Spot the Dot is a "needle in the haystack" or "I Spy" type of app, where the same item -- a small colored dot, is hidden in nine pages, or screens. Each challenge is presented with the text "can you spot the (color) dot?" forming a predictable pattern. On some pages the dot is hidden in a moving illustration, and the dot moves around, extending the utility of this app, despite the limited number of pages. USES: Great for huddleware, and for supporting math, language and logic; invites toddlers and preschoolers to learn colors as they play 'spot to dot.' Created for Ruckus Media by Unicornlabs.
