Toca Mini, like many Toca Boca apps, gives you the chance to create your own little 3D person, or 'mini'. It has the layout like designing a new doll, giving it packaging to add to the effect. The pattern on the inside of the box can give you inspiration and ideas too, with themed patterns which you can base your mini's look on: for example a background of waves for a mermaid or a sea captain. The potential for creativity is (almost) limitless.

The actual designing is slightly limited, but very creative. There are many mouth, noses, eyes, and eyebrow designs to choose from to customise your mini, but it does not have the option of adding 3D objects such as sticking-out ears or eyes on stalks. There is also a limit of two eyes, two eyebrows, one mouth and a nose, and you can only put them on the head.

Personally, I would prefer it if the features weren't limited and gave you the choice to place them any where, as this is a creative game.
