"Great pack of 'doh here. My 4-year-old thinks that they're the greatest playthings in the history of the universe, so I'm going to go with that. She plays with them daily, and the colors are great; they're probably all mixed together by now, but hey - she enjoys them, so we call that a WIN."

“My great granddaughter has created so many things with this clay. She's so creative! When she asked her Pop what he wanted her to make, he said a reindeer, and she made one! Great job!”

“I bought this for my son's 7th birthday party, and let me tell you, both kids and adults had a blast making animal creations! The colors are fantastic, but I did get some extra dough since the packs are a bit small.”

"I bought this kit to work on wrist stability and functional play with my son, who has global developmental delays. I chose this over other sets because of the imprinting designs, the one-handed roller, and the wooden blocks that are easier to grasp. It was a success on a tough day. The clay is a bit goopier than regular play dough but cleaned easily. I think the shapes on the lid are really cool too!"

"These tools are great for playdough! The quality feels nice and not cheap like some accessories. I really appreciate how they keep my toddlers entertained while allowing them to use their imagination to create new designs."

"I was excited about this for my toddler’s sensory exploration, but after just a few uses, the play dough became dry and crumbly. The lids on the containers just don’t stay on properly, which contributed to the problem. The wooden toys are sturdy, but I was disappointed overall, especially since I expected better quality from Melissa & Doug."

"I bought this Modeling Clay Kit as a gift for my niece, and she loved it! The kit includes 36 colors of air dry clay and various accessories. The clay is soft and easy to work with, and the colors are vibrant and fun. It was amazing to watch her imagination run wild as she created all sorts of things. I highly recommend this kit for encouraging creativity and imagination."

“My two-year-old was absolutely thrilled with this Play-Doh set, especially the tiny scissors and plastic knife. He loves handling these tools and played with it for two hours straight. I created an ‘Itsy Bitsy Spider’ scene, and he was overjoyed with his tiny spider made of Play-Doh. I would definitely purchase this again!”

“I bought this for my 20-month-old daughter, and it's the perfect beginner set as we move past the phase of wanting to eat the Play-Doh. It helps her practice rolling and cutting, preparing her for more advanced sets. The fresh Play-Doh and spacious storage bag are great bonuses!”

“This set is perfect for my three-year-old! It includes everything needed for fun and is easy to take on the go. It keeps him entertained, especially when he cuts the Play-Doh after shaping it. This kit is a great travel companion!”

"This felt like such an indulgent treat for my kids! We LOVE Chuckle & Roar sand, and the vibrant color options added a whole new dimension of fun! Normally, we just squish, roll, and blend the sand, but this opened up new creative avenues. My kids made funny creatures and pretend food, and when the colors mixed, we had tons of fun experimenting! As always, it cleans up easy. This would make a great gift!"

"My kiddos LOVED the colors and enjoyed going into our closet to watch it glow! The texture was very much like clay, yet it was not messy at all. We are a family of 5, and we all loved playing with it!"

"As a mom who strongly dislikes the smell of play-doh, I found Whoa Dough to be an AWESOME alternative. It isn't as 'doughy,' but the texture is still fun, and it doesn't have that icky smell!"
