Abstract This paper reviews the international research evidence on the ways in which information and communication technologies (ICT) are used in both formal and informal pre‐school settings. The review addresses the debate over the value and desirability of young children using computers and computational toys; the relationship of these technologies to a media environment which encompasses television, video, books and magazines; the literacies involved in using these media; and interface design and interactivity.
