The short version
A little help with your decision
Forty-four pieces offer choices, but they also become forty-four things to account for. You might offer a smaller selection first and keep the rest nearby. The question is whether changing the characters stays interesting for your child, rather than whether the largest assortment is automatically better. A family already happy with a smaller Potato Head set may have little reason to add another collection.
A good fit if…
A child who enjoys changing faces and making up characters.
Look elsewhere if…
Many accessories mean a real collection to gather afterwards; it is worth choosing a small starting selection.
A nose in an unexpected place can start a whole conversation. Create Your Family gives children several potato bodies and a collection of parts to try, change and turn into characters. Its appeal is the freedom to make a funny face or an imagined family, with no need to copy the picture on the box.
What the current listing describes
Three potato bodies, including two large and one small, are paired with 41 accessories for 44 pieces overall.
A small way to begin
Make a wonderfully mixed-up face together and let your child decide what the character is doing today.
The buying decision that matters

Let the small story lead
Pretend play can begin with a single character and one thing to do. You can join your child’s idea without supplying a whole plot or turning each object into a question. A familiar household moment may be enough inspiration. If the scene changes completely, that is room for invention; the product’s theme can be a starting point rather than a script.
Before you choose
