Play-Doh Fun Tub I Play-Doh Fun Tub

Super tiny Playdoh set!
By Big Dawg

This set looks deceivingly large in pictures but it's a small set. The storage tub is a nice touch, but there are larger sets on Amazon at the same price without a tub. So know what you are purchasing.

No matter the size however, our toddler still enjoyed using the plastic knife and the roller because we didn't have it on our other set. While the set did come with 5 small playdoh colors, we could only make one shape at a time with each color.

lots of fun

My kids love Play-Doh. They go crazy to play with it any time I bring it out (I have to put it away or it would be out all the time and it can make a little mess with 3 kids ages 4, 2.5, and 2.5. When this arrived they all got very excited. There are just enough different things to keep them interested. I'm not sure I would call this the "ultimate creativity tub," but it is a nice starter set for Play-Doh. My only nit with the toys is the roller--it is open on both ends and one of my kids immediately stuffed a bunch of Play-Doh into it and I had to find a stick to get it out--we have other rollers that have closed ends that are much better.

It isn't a large tub -- the description says 4.8 x 8 x 8, but I measured it and it is more 4.5" (deep) x 7-7.5" (width--it is tapered) x 8. I do like the size because it isn't too big and I love that everything fits back into the tub when the kids are done.

This comes with the small containers of Play-Doh, so each one is a nice size for a smaller child, but bigger kids will like more.

Overall, this is a winner since it is not too large, fits all back together, and has enough variety for plenty of creativity.

Love the Animal Cutters and Extruder! Hours of Fun So Far!
By Olivia Stabler

My 3 1/2 year old daughter loves this set and has played with it nonstop since we got it. The set comes with a thick, sturdy storage tub with a snap on lid that stays shut even when the tub is dropped. I really like the storage tub because you can fit some extra play-doh molds and tools inside of it that didn't come with the set. The storage tub also makes it easy to travel with the set since it keeps everything together. This set comes with 5 small jars of Play-doh (2 shades of blue, red, purple, and yellow), a 4" hollow plastic dough roller, a dough extruder, a 4" "ruler" with 3 shapes on it, a 4.5" plastic knife, 3 fruit molds (strawberry, bananas, and a pear which also looks like a balloon). 3 large cutters (heart, circle, star), and 9 mini animal shape cutters, which measure about 3-4" long. The included animals are an alligator, cat, fish, cow, dog, giraffe, teddy bear, dolphin, and mouse.

The Play-doh itself is of the standard expected quality and my daughter loves the extruder so she can watch the Play-doh ooze out of it when she presses it. The "ruler" shaped tool can slide onto the bottom of the extruder, which allows the dough to come out in that shape (moon, circle, or star). It is however, somewhat difficult to clean all of the dough from the inside of that. The roller is decent and works well, but I do wish it came with a rolling pizza cutter type of tool as well. I really love the shape cutters. 

They are made of plastic, but they are more than sturdy enough. When you roll out the dough, the thinner you roll the dough, the more likely it is that the shape won't hold, but if you roll it on the thicker side and press the cutters into the dough, it will hold shape much better and slice the dough perfectly and cleanly without the dough getting stuck inside the smaller crevices of the cutters. In fact, we haven't had to clean them or pick little dough bits out of the cutters at all. On the underside of the knife there is a small birthday candle mold, which I don't like because when you press dough inside of it, the dough gets stuck in the crevices of the mold and around it and is hard to peel out. The fruit molds held shape well and were easy to peel the dough back out of.

So far the set has provided us with hours of fun and she has fun making the animals and creating stories for them as she plays. If your child loves Play-doh and animals, this is an awesome set and we are very pleased with it.
