You can play LittleBigPlanet Vita in multi-player mode, although I have been unable to test this so far due to a lack of family friends with a Vita.
Suddenly they had a whole new wardrobe to try out on their little sack people (really squishy versions on Amazon for $9.99). The icing on the cake for the kids was the discovering that the DLC we had bought for LittleBigPlanet on the PlayStation 3 was compatible with the Vita version.
It reminded me of the "pinching" action in Escape Plan that worked equally well. The mechanics of popping elements "in" with the front screen and "out" with the rear screen soon gets embedded in your psyche and makes a lot of sense. Although the younger children found reaching round to the rear touchscreen a bit of a stretch, once they realized you need to touch it only in one place they got on much better. The main game itself benefits from these interactive elements as well.

It's the sort of messing around you can do in your backyard, just less dangerous and much cleaner – although in fact this inspired me and my kids to try out a series of bottle-rocket experiments out back that got us all covered in mud and soda before too long. The kids have had hours of fun, often in hysterics, jumping on and off our makeshift jet-kart and driving it into various other objects or making jumps. To this I add a switch which turns the rocket-booster on when triggered. Basically we create a skateboard of some description and then attach a rocket. As you can see in the video, I have a standard level the kids like from the console version.
