This paper presents a set of sensor driven sonic prototypes and the workshops in which they are played with by children in games of dressing up. Seven garments are fitted with wireless sensors that control sound samples and their modifiers in real time. The aim of the project is to capture the children's emerging understanding of the sensors as they explore and play and in the longer term inform the use of analog sensing in touchable interfaces. The system is described and observations from the first workshops are reported. The paper concludes with a short discussion and conclusions regarding both the system itself and the methods used.
