It did not include the paper We had to pre cut paper we had around the house. I’m pretty sure it’s supposed to come with the paper.

This is easy for a 4 year old to play with and do it by themselves. The only complaint is loading paper is a little bit awkward & It would have been nice if it came with a notepad but the right size paper.

Plastic toy with plates than you use to make different dress designs, good for a little girl into fashions.

Great, just wish the storage drawer slid all the way in so the colored pencils were covered. Also would be nice if it came with some paper that fit, I cut some as it is very difficult to close a full sheet of paper in it
Please design also for boys

For my young daughter who can't draw this is great. Product gives her incentive to create different designs.

This was my favorite toy as a child (Fashion Barbie) and now I get to enjoy it with my granddaughter. Both both of them.

Loved my fashion plates as a child. I have the green/blue set with the boy characters. The crayon broke on second use and the other crayons we have on hand are too skinny. So we won’t be able to use this until after we get home from vacation. The drawer, top cover hinge situation seems to be designed so the storage tray doesn’t open and spill contents, however it’s too difficult for my child to open. Would be nice to have the option to purchase just the templates. And should come with at least two rubbing crayons (designed without the point since your not using it for that and the point caught on the side of the tray which caused it to break).
Overall what you expect

I was really excited to give this to our five year old for Christmas. I had something similar when I was growing up and really enjoyed it. She has drawn a few pictures, but hasn't gotten into it like I expected. Hopefully, it will be a toy she grows into.
Needs improvement

Was excited to get for my daughter a new version of the Fashion Plates I played with in the '80s. Seems to work well, but it didn't come with paper, I'm wishing for an expansion pack, and I was surprised at the lack of diversity in the heads/hair.

I loved this toy as a child. This set is nice because it will trace well with handle and drawer containing supplies. One BIG problem is the lack of diversity with the hair and face of the head plates. This needs to be fixed so all children can feel represented. It wouldn’t hurt to make more gender neutral plates and colors as well.

Granddaughter loved it.
Not as thoughtfully designed or constructed as other Melissa & Doug toys.

Surprising that this is a M&D product. It's made of flimsy plastic with hard to open hinges and drawer. The rubbing crayon broke on day one. The tiles are made out of soft plastic, unlike the hard tiles from the original version of this toy I had as a kid. The frame doesn't hold the paper well so the drawings always come out blurry.
I agree with other reviewers about the desire for a gender neutral set. These are unnecessarily girly and frilly.
It's a great activity but this needs a redesign.

This is a great set with lots of fun options for your fashion designer or doodler. I agree with other reviews that expansion packs would be great, but aren’t absolutely necessary. The storage case is great and sorts everything away nicely, definitely a plus in my book. The only downside we found was that it didn't come with a starter pack of paper. The sheet size required is half of a standard printer paper, which is probably accessible to most people. My daughter did find you can still use a full sheet, but the performance isn’t as great and not to mention wasteful of space.

Bought this for my 6 year old granddaughter for Christmas. She loved it. Her mother had one when she was younger. She loved it too. Unfortunately, my granddaughter wanted to play with it immediately. She was very disappointed there was no paper included and had to wait while we tried to find the right size plain paper. My suggestion, include a nominal amount of paper to get the kids started, while we adults find more paper. My granddaughter absolutely loves designing and coloring the designs with this kit.
