When it comes to children’s games, Toca Boca has knows what it’s doing. They already have a ton of games for iOS and each of them has been pretty spectacular. They know how to make kid friendly games that are fun, unique, and very creative. Their latest game is called Toca Tailor Fairy Tales and it is a dress up / clothing creating app for children. In that app, they’ll be able to dress up either a boy or a girl and add different kind of patterns and accessories to their creations.
For starters, this is just a little taste of the full game that is Toca Tailor. This version of the game only has 2 characters you can choose from, limited patterns and accessories, and is set in a fairy tale setting with fairy tale related dress up items. Aside from that however, it still is a very full featured app that allows children to be very cute and creative.
Controls for Toca Tailor Fairy Tales is very child friendly. First they choose their character, either a boy of a girl. Once that character appears on the screen, players will be able to choose what kind of tops, bottoms, and sleeves their characters are wearing by tapping on them. For instance, tap on the bottoms and you can switch between skinny tights, puffy pants, a long dress, or a really poofy dress. That same can be done with the tops and the sleeves. Once you choose those, you’ll be able to also adjust the length of each by dragging the edges up or down. This makes the tops and bottoms longer or shorter. You can also do the same for the sleeves.
Once you have the clothing set, you can go on to adding patterns to them. Click on the pattern maker on the bottom left and this will bring you to a table like layout where you’ll be able to swipe between different parts of your clothing. At the bottom are the patterns you can use. Just drag the patterns to your clothing to add them. Patterns can be stacked on top of each other and can also be resized and moved around. On top of that, and this is the neatest feature, you can make your own patterns by taking pictures of anything you see. Just point your camera and shoot and your new pattern will be saved to the app to use.
After that’s complete, you can start adding accessories. In this version of the app, you’ll able to add several hats, masks, beards, and shoes.
Toca Tailor Fairy Tales really is a uniquely creative app for children. It’s fun, very easy to use, and as far as my kid goes, he has a ball playing it. Some of the stuff he comes up with is surprising which is create because I’m always trying to push the boundaries of his imagination. This app will do that and allow your child to really push their creativity.
