This study is implemented to investigate the effects of three dimensional animated movies and interactive applications series on development of visual perception of five year old (60-72 months) children. The research has been performed in pre-test post-test permanence test experimental pattern with control group. In the study, 12 children (7 girls, 5 boys) in Test Group 1, 12 children (7 girls, 5 boys) in Test Group 2) and 14 children (8 girls, 6 boys) in Control Group were evaluated. 'Personnel Information Form' developed by the researcher, Test of Visual Perceptual Skills-3 developed by Martin (2006), adapted to Turkish language and validity and reliability studies completed by the researchers were used to collect and evaluate the visual perceptual skills of the children. In the study, the test groups watched eight episodes of three dimensional animated movies and performed the interactive applications with computer and worksheets every fifteen day for 16 weeks. Since the data of the research were not distributed normally, non-parametric tests Kruskal-Wallis, Friedman, (pairwise comparison for post-hoc), Mann-Whitney U and Wilcoxon tests were used to analyze the data. The results of the research show that on average and for Sequential Memory and Visual Closure subtests the visual perception of children who attended the training programs were significantly better than that of children who did not. The programs were found to generate significant effect on Test of Visual Perception Skills-3 and its subtests Spatial Relations, Form Constancy and Visual Figure-Ground.
