For now, you can just keep the clothed figures in your Poser Artist installation. Your daughter can take the included textures and templates into Photoshop to change colors and create different textures for clothing, hair, skin colors, etc. for more variety. She can learn a lot about animation by setting up two or more poses on the timeline and seeing how the different interpolation styles set up the "tween" frames. Acting out the poses as you set up an animation makes you aware of the details of real world motion, like anticipation and follow-through. And Poser comes with quite a few non-human figures - animals and robots - that she can have fun with, even create animations from props; wherever her imagination takes her. She can render in cartoon and sketch modes for a series of stills for a storybook, adding speech baloons in Photoshop, learn about lighting and camera angles, etc. HTH - Elisa/gryffnn
