Traditional tales: Dressing-up box
Dress Dog and Cat as characters from the stories! Choose the items of clothing you want them to wear and then touch them with the magic wand.
With the book or the dressing up box buttons swap between story clothes and other clothes. Change the story theme using the buttons on the right.
Use the abc button to add text to your character and print it. You can type a caption in the box at the top. Use the speech bubble buttons to add phrases from the story. You can type into these bubbles too by skipping through to the empty bubble.
You can drag letters onto your scene too from the box at the bottom. These letters have roll-over phoneme audio clips to help with sound talking and spelling.
