The interface is a little awkward. My 3-year-old needs a lot of help, although he uses similar games by himself. If he clicks on the same nose twice or more than one nose, then it adds them all on top of each other, and I have to delete them individually. It's,cute though, and he seems to like it. ### 4/5 — Ok *2013-10-31, version 1.5* It was limited but its more a kid game and I like it too ### 3/5 — its OK *2013-01-13, version 1.5* its good enough to keep. but i have to say i'm a little disappointed. ### 4/5 — Adorable *2012-10-16, version 1.5* This game is adorable and my kids love decorating there own pumpkin!! ### 5/5 — Totally awesome *2012-10-04, version 1.5* I love how I can carve myself I'm a 9 year old and lovin this game ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2012-09-20, version 1.5* How awesomely fun is this!

(need toothpicks to hold pupil in place).
