Fun With Some New PLAY-DOH Sets

I received the products below to review in exchange for sharing my honest opinion.

I have loved PLAY-DOH ever since I was a kid and as soon as my kids were old enough I was all about them playing with PLAY-DOH. Its funny how some of my friends say PLAY-DOH is a no-no in their house because it can be a pain to clean up, but as long as my kids play with it on the hardwood floor I am fine with it. When they are done and have cleaned up as much as they can, I let the PLAY-DOH dry and just vacuum up the crumbs – its really a super easy clean up I think.

What I love about PLAY-DOH is how it allows the user to be as creative as they want. PLAY-DOH is so versatile and Hasbro keeps coming out with so many great sets.  I got the chance to check out a few new PLAY-DOH sets and all three of my kids were so excited. The PLAY-DOH sets all came with a themed plastic set to incorporate the included PLAY-DOH containers with. I will say the PLAY-DOH you get in the sets is usually smaller sized so I would definitely recommend picking up additional PLAY-DOH containers for more fun.

Overall, my family loves PLAY-DOH and these new sets were a hit. Ranging between $10 and $15, they are great sets for either new PLAY-DOH fans or to add to collections. We have a big tub I keep all things PLAY-DOH inside and these sets are small enough to fit nicely but big enough to keep kids busy! They are great too for bonding between people of all ages.
