Awesomely original, creative fun for boys and girls ages 2 to 8. Kids choose clothes, colors and patterns by tapping and moving items on the screen. Boy and girl dolls are included. There are no ads, no makeup, no immodest clothing. Kids focus on their task, show their designs to siblings or parents or save them to the Photos app, then tap the arrow to start a new doll. Clothes snap into place so finger accuracy is not required. Dress-up is perfect for teaching touch-screen concepts to toddlers, kids with special needs, and new iPad users. The interface is super-responsive and simple. Kids see girl and boy dolls of all colors, wearing clothes any child might wear. Children who are learning to dress themselves love it.
