Kids can learn through imaginative and creative pretend play. Same holds true if you change their hairstyle at the stylist or their clothes at the department store. What is kind of neat about it all is that it seems like if you give a character an object to hold, it will carry over to another area in the game.

Objects can be picked up and moved around, placed in characters hands or on their head, or used in conjunction with another object. After entering each area, players can then interact with mostly everything. Players can pick and choose which characters they want to interact in each setting and there are a lot of them to choose from. They can explore all the different locations and see what they offer as well as interact with almost every object in those locations. Toca Life: City is basically an app where kids have free reign of they can do in their city.

This app provides opportunities for kids to notice urban amenities and lifestyles.

This kind of open-ended, imagination-driven, kids-in-charge play is truly important for kids, and though Toca Boca creates magical worlds, there are still limitations.
