What’s It About?
SAGO MINI HAT MAKER simulates the experience of running your own hat shop. Ring the bell for your first customer. Choose a hat shape from two designs and watch to see how your customer feels about your choice. Lead the customer through several different stations where you might cut out a shape, change the background pattern, draw a picture or message, and add stickers. When you're finished designing, choose your favorite backdrop and take a picture of your customer with the new hat, or virtually try on the hat yourself and take a selfie with your new creation. In the end, ring the customer up and start all over again.
Is It Any Good?
This simple preschool experience finds a nice balance between creative expression and age-appropriate tools. Sago Mini Hat Maker doesn't have a lot of options and tools to use, which makes it great for really little kids. Each station typically offers two to four options at a time, making it easier for young kids to make decisions, but leaving enough room for personal tastes to shine through. And what kid won't enjoy getting a selfie or a picture of mom and dad sporting their new design? There isn't a lot to do otherwise, however, so this is likely to be the biggest hit with kids who like designing things.

Did we miss something on diversity?
Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
