Parents can also help kids recognize the characters’ reaction. If the child jumps into cutting hair without much thinking, the parent can ask her/him how long the hair should be, what color will look good? Parents can help point out the steps when doing a project. Kids will also learn that many times it is not about what they themselves like, instead, it is about what the other person likes. In addition to styling and coloring, kids learn the basic work process (for almost everything): design (think of a hair style), prepare (wash hair), try and error (use G.R.O), execute (cut hair), polish (style with hair dryer and color). Once the kids are satisfied with the hair cut, they can use the built-in camera to take a picture. Like all other Toca apps, it is a free play app, with no time limits. They also offer opportunities for the kids to learn to pay attention to other people’s feelings. While getting the hair cut, the character shows different reactions: smile, shocked, worried, … These reactions add fun to the play. Kids can color the hair in the way they like. If kids cut the hair too short, they can use some G.R.O to have the hair grow longer instantly. There is also something called G.R.O that makes the hair grow back. Tools and items they can use include: scissors, electric hair trimmer, hair dryer, comb, hair colors, shampoo, towel, and hair accessories. They will cut hair for one of the 6 characters: a red-head boy, a pink hair girl, a guy with orange hair, a bear, a lion, and a dog. ![]() ![]() In Toca Hair Salon, kids will be hair dressers or stylists.
