 More Outfits than Dolls to Wear ThemDec 30, 2009
By Mother of 3
My six year old daughter got this for Christmas. She loves clothes and fashion and stickers so this toy was met with high hopes. She and I played with it and I have to say, although I like it, it could be better. The stickers come with a "be careful" warning and I would say heed that advice. If your child is not careful pulling these off, they will rip and the outfits will be "ruined". I like that there is so much to choose from, but my daughter would have liked the set more if there were enough dolls to wear ALL the clothes. On each page there are more clothes than dolls so a few clothes need to go unworn...a difficult decision for my six year old and one that leaves her feeling unsatisfied. They are stickers so they STICK. You cannot pull them off and change outfits like paper dolls or Colorform style stickers. So, the unused "clothes" are kind of a waste. You could pull the clothes off and stick them on a sheet of paper and draw a head and limbs on them, and maybe my daughter will eventually do just that. But for immediate gratification it would have been nice to have a sense of completion...all the outfits being stuck onto all the dolls. I can already foresee me hanging on to a partially full book of stickers because they cannot be put on a doll but my daughter won't want to throw it away either. It's a good toy but with a few more "dolls" it would have been better.

another great M&D toy!Jan 23, 2010
By medmom
My daughter is almost 3, and she LOVES stickers. This set is perfect for both of us. She's happy to have so many options for "dressing" the dolls, and I'm happy that the stickers are pretty, without being Disney princesses or fairies.
At this age, my daughter needs help with the stickers, so we always do them together. Even though the stickers are made of nice glossy paper, they will catch and tear if she tries to remove them from the pages herself. Usually I remove a doll sticker first, and she places it in her little spiral notebook. Then she picks an outfit, and I help her "match" the colors and patterns for a cohesive look. She has to scan the page to find a black & yellow hair bow, for example, to go with the black & yellow dress and tights. Most pages contain complete outfits that definitely match, if you look for the matching pieces.
The sticker book is plenty big, and it has 10 pages: 1) princess and fairy costumes (NOT Disney-like), 2) casual dresses, 3) skirt sets, 4) outdoor playwear (summery outfits), 5) outerwear (full outfits with jackets, coats, sweaters to go over them), 6) party dresses, 7) sleepwear, 8) swimwear (with cover-ups) 9) dancewear (basic ballet), and 10) sweaters and pants. Each page has 8 doll stickers (total of 80 in the book) with 8 coordinated outfits per page. Each page also includes matching accessories like purses, scarves, shoes, tights, sand buckets, and hair bows.
The only thing that bugs me slightly is that many of the outfits will require covering over other stickers - for example, the outerwear page also contains shirts, and ALL the shirts from that page will be covered up by the coordinating jacket stickers! The stickers can be removed/repositioned, but only if a parent VERY carefully unsticks them. A few pages also have a couple extras, so you'll have a tutu or a purse left over when you've completed all the outfits for those pages.
The most conservative parents won't be offended by this. (Not at all like so many of the mindless fashion dress-up sets that are available for preteens.) The outfits are pretty, relatively timeless, and practical - not plasticky, commercialized, or overly frilly. There are a couple of simple bikinis on the swimwear page, but if that really bothers anyone, you can easily stick with the one-piece suits or cover the bikinis with the cover-ups. Although the outfits don't attempt to represent other cultures, there is a wonderful variety of skin colors and hair types.
I bought this just for fun, but I can tell that it is helping my daughter learn so many things: matching colors and patterns, fine motor skills (getting the dress to line up with the shoulders), beginning left/right concepts (the socks & shoes have to go on the correct feet), simple reasoning (putting the shirt on BEFORE you put the jacket on, or the tights on before the dress). I think an older girl would love being able to do the pages by herself, especially on a car trip (it does require bringing a notebook to place the stickers in). But it's perfect for my 3-year-old & me to do together, too! Highly recommended.

This is so fun!Feb 04, 2011

I bought this for my 9 yr. old daughter for Christmas and she LOVES it. She is having so much fun putting together the outfits. She makes the dolls on paper, and then draws backgrounds for them. She's having a blast sending the pictures to her pen pal and to my mom. What a great product!

Most Adored Sticker BookFeb 17, 2011
By Sarah Metzler
I got this for my daughter because she loves picking out her clothes (she's 3). She loves this sticker pad more than any other sticker I have ever gotten her. When we make birthday, valentines, mother's day, etc. cards - she always puts these girls on the front of the cards. There are so many different girls and outfits - it is fantastic! BEST STICKER BOOK EVER!
