Hot Dots® Preschool Prep Set

The Educational Insights Hot Dots® Preschool Prep Set is a terrific activity pack for preschool-aged kids. It combines hands-on play with learning fundamentals like colors, shapes, patterns, counting, and early problem-solving in a way that keeps young children engaged. The cards are bright, sturdy, and kid-friendly, and the interactive Hot Dots® pens make each activity feel like a fun game rather than “work.” Kids stay motivated because they get immediate feedback — correct answers make a happy sound, and incorrect ones prompt gentle encouragement to try again. This set is great for building confidence in key early learning areas while strengthening fine motor skills and focus. It’s simple enough for independent play but also works well as a shared activity between parent and child. A small downside is that the pens require batteries (not included), but that’s a minor trade-off for so much interactive learning.

My granddaughter love this gift uses it all the time

Good for my preschooler prep!

Definitely worth it

We’ve been using these Hot Dots flash cards with my 3-year-old and he loves them. The pen is easy to use and makes it feel like a game, so he stays focused way longer than with regular flash cards. He gets really excited to see the green light when he gets one right and doesn’t get upset if it turns red, he just tries again. At his age, I do read the directions on each card to him, but once he understands what to do, he can answer on his own and check himself with the pen. It’s been great for practicing letters, numbers, and counting in a hands-on way. I also love that the same pen works with the Sesame Street Big Bird Beep Book. We already had that book, so it was nice not needing a separate pen and my son was excited to use something familiar. The cards are sturdy, easy to store, and feel well made. This has become one of our go-to learning activities, especially when I want something educational but fun. Definitely recommend for younger preschoolers with a little guidance.

My students love these. They are easy to use and fun for the kids!

My kids absolutely love these! Great for homeschooling or just an educational activity when they’re bored!

I got this to use at home for my children to help them learn their letters. It was not impressive at all, I was very excited for it to come but it hardly does anything. I expected it to say things/sound out the letters but instead it just beeps when you tap the correct thing. It’s not worth the money, don’t waste your time.
