I can’t say I LOVE Play-Doh, but my girls do! I would love to win this so I can spend my time shouting ‘not in your mouth’ to the little one while trying to scrape the rest out the carpet. But seriously, such fun for the kids and good for development.
I love play dog it keeps me kids so entertained and engaging. Love seeing them make such awesome stuff with itPlay
Love watching my granddaughters utilising Play-Doh to create many weird and wonderful items – they particularly enjoy using my vast collection of cake cutters and my shortbread stamp. They are concentrating on animal cut-outs and
moulding and have become quite adept at creating zoos and farms. Love the creativity
I love play-doh .. it keeps my daughter busy for hours. It’s so versatile, she never gets bored with it. It really is a saver when I need to keep her quiet, plus it stimulates her imagination.
