This review is from : Melissa & Doug Dress-Up Reusable Sticker Pad
Over the top girliness! . Pros:
Durable reusable stickers. Held up to my four year old attempting to remove them.
A variety of stickers that a little girly girl loves.
An unbeatable price. Five bucks? Great!Cons:
Difficult for four year old to remove stickers herself, although it helps considerably to remove the full
surrounding excess "sticker" material.
Difficult to flip between scenes and stickers. We ended up pulling all the scenes out to make it easier.My MAIN con and reason for removal of stars, though, is the content. I mean, I'm pretty flexible when it comes to gender-based toys, but REALLY! The "scenes" available are
1. pajamas
2. ballerina (although some on this page look like lingere nighties)
3. "dress up"- princess/fairy/hippie/cowgirl/cat
4. BEAUTY PAGEANT.. WHAT!? They even have bathing suits with little sashes across them. Crazy.
5. Bridal party.My girly-girl dress-up princess LOVES all the dresses, and it's easy enough to remove the ones I actually find inappropriate, but I would love to see Melissa and Doug be a bit more progressive and include more gender neutral choices like fireman/doctor/teacher/scientist. There are so many possiblities!

Melissa & Doug Dress-Up Reusable Sticker Pad Reviews
beauty pageant??! . The "house" version is better. This one is too full of girly stereotypes (ballet, groom-less wedding, BEAUTY PAGEANT??!!! that one is just awful). My child likes it but besides the dumbed-down girliness, the figures on each page are in a different position, so most of the outfits are not interchangable between pages (i.e. arm position is one up/one down or both up, and the outfits for that page are made to follow of course). I'd rate it 1-star for encouraging lame stereotypes but my daughter played with it for a bit after she first got it so I guess it deserves another star or two. Maybe. Beauty pageant??!! ugh.
