I CAN Creative Kit + #Giveaway

Disclosure: My cousin received the Fashion Friends from Manhattan Toy for review. All opinions are her own.

My six year old daughter is quite the fashionista these days, so she was delighted to receive a Fashion Friends Imagine I Can Creative Kit ($25) from The Manhattan Toy Company.  This magnetic toy comes in a tin box with a carrying handle, perfect for a girl on the go.  My daughter was excited to take this kit over to her best friend’s house for their latest playdate so the girls could play with it together.  She and her friend were able to use the magnetic pieces to design countless different outfits for the fashion friends.

There are several different scenes to choose from; the fashion friends can either be pictured in a shoe store, at school, at a birthday party, or at the beach.  The scenery is a backdrop which fits perfectly into the metal case, which is magnetic, so my daughter was able to mix and match the clothes and shoes to create her own fashion statement.  

I love toys that encourage creativity like this.  All 85 magnetic pieces can be conveniently stored inside the case.  We recently took a 5 hour plane flight across country and this Imagine I Can kit was the perfect thing to entertain my daughter during the flight.  It was lightweight enough that she could easily carry with her, and it fit perfectly on the fold-down tray in the airplane.  She was able to sit quietly and keep herself busy with this toy for most of the flight, and since the pieces were all contained within the tin box, I didn't have to worry about any of the little magnetic clothes getting lost.

This game is designed for ages 3+.  My daughter has been really interested in accessorizing lately so she was ecstatic to find all the different shoes, hats, and sunglasses available to choose from. My only complaint about the kit is that I wish the background scenes were a bit more durable, as I found the paper sheets to be thinner than expected.  But I appreciate the value this kit offers in encouraging my daughter’s imagination with its endless possibilities for creating different themed adventures for its characters.  I was happy to hear my daughter and her friend creating a story to go with the scene that they were creating.  They made up a plot to go along with whatever scene they were designing for the fashion friends.
