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.
