 Still, a little disappointing Jan 05, 2001
By kcbranaghsgirl
Though the fun, durability and educational value of this product are all very good or better, I did want to emphasize one thing for potential purchasers of this product. When I received this item from Amazon (intended as a gift for a friend's four-year-old daughter), I was pretty disappointed that there were NO cans of blue but TWO cans of hot pink Play Doh in the set.The Amazon description DOES include a disclaimer for the potential variation of colors in the set, so I'm absolutely not faulting them for not alerting consumers to this deficiency. It's just that, well, I didn't think that it would happen to me (who ever does?), so please DO be aware that they issue this disclaimer for good reason. It's not the end of the world, and I'm sure that the recipient won't think twice about the absence of blue Play Doh in her new, "ten-color" set (such as it is!), but it keeps me from being 100% satisfied with the product. While I'm at it, I should also add that these are NOT full-size cans of Play Doh - they appear to be approximately half the size of the cans in regular sets. I did not see that information anywhere in the Amazon description (it might be there, but if it is, it wasn't in a conspicuous place), and it's a point worth mentioning somewhere. If you think that you're getting a good deal by getting 10 full-size cans for eight bucks, you are getting nothing of the sort. Better Play Doh values can be found elsewhere on the site, so you might want to keep looking for them if, like me, you're generally the type who likes to get her money's worth.

 These are SMALL tubs Oct 03, 2000
Great pack of fun colors that are hard to find, BUT the tubs are VERY SMALL - they are really party "gift bag" sized. It's a shame that the description doesn't give you a better indication that you're not getting a regular-sized tub. Other than that - lots of fun.

Toy specialist Nov 29, 1999
I found this toy to be the most enjoyable, long lasting toy ever made. Although it says for kids between the ages 3 - 8, I think that it is a toy for all ages to enjoy. Even at age 22, I use playdoh to make my imaginations flow.

I'm addicted to the smell Jun 01, 2000
I bought this primary to for a memory experiment to see if I could induce childhood flashbacks with a whiff. Without disclosing the entire history of my youth (in 1,000 words of course) I will mention that back came hours at the kitchen table making 'shapes', 'dogs', 'men' and the rest of characters a small and limited universe might contain. My one disappointment in this set (I can't seem to find other versions) is that the color palate looks like the make-up kit of a very spirited 12-year old cheerleader -- out of 10 colors there are two versions of bubblegum pink. It may be nostalga but the primary colors seemed more appropriate and flexible for that time before time. The last point is that I do remember eating some -- though I'd be a little more cautious given the current assortment -- and actually liking it. There is, however, no indication on the box whether it should or shouldn't be digested, how much one should worry if all of a sudden the 'red' clay is half the size when you child began playing or the 'green' is missing entirely at clean-up time. I'd think parents might want a heads up.

Soft, sweet smelling fun! Nov 01, 2000

This set is so delicious you just want to eat it (please don't though!) and it has a million and one uses that are fun, fun, fun. You have ten pots of colorful squishy dough that can be used to make dinosaurs, farm animals, people and even buildings! There's nothing you can make with play-doh, my nephew even made a plate of ham and eggs, well that's what he said it was and I am inclined to believe him! All you need is a plastic sheet, some cookie cutters and a whole heap of imagaination. Remember however that Play-Douh goes hard if you don't put it away after you have finished using it, make sure the lids are sealed tightly if you want it to last. This is a great toy that children and adults can enjoy together, and this set is especially good value as it doesn't cost the earth and it is well packaged. Well worth investing in for those long rainy days that are heading our way!
