Toca Life: Stable

2/17/2021 See also Toca Life World Build Stories. Calling all horse crazy kids -- this sixth in the Toca Life series (joining town, city, school, vacation and farm) is yet another powerful open-ended puppet show experience. This time you get to play with a horse theme. Content includes 24 characters and four locations: a stable (wash, feed, saddle and ride horses); The Arena (show off your horse's jumping skills visit the winner's podium or get a snack in the food court); Forest (go on an adventure ride in the woods; sleep under the stars or swim in a waterfall); and Shop (buy more horse supplies using pretend money -- don't worry -- this isn't a real shop). New to this version is a horse trailer that lets you port your horse from one area to another. The most important feature is the ability to record your own stories, which can be saved or shared as movies. As with the others in the series, diversity is celebrated with a multiracial cast, including a child and a wheelchair prop. Make sure to introduce children to the "cleanup" feature on the main menu, which resets all the screens. Let them try it before they invest too much time making their own microworld.
