There is nothing that will ever measure up to the amazing potential of Play-Doh, at least not for the affordable price that Play-Doh is available for. For less than $2 you can purchase four full sized pots of Play-Doh in a variety of colors; else you can spend a little more and purchase this Party Pack and get a variety of ten different colors for the equally affordable price of $2.99.

The affordability of Play-Doh is not the only plus to the famous modeling clay, I absolutely adore the clay for it's educational factors as well. Between the physical actions involved in molding Play-Doh which allows younger children to exercise small hand muscles and increase development, to the social interaction involved in Play-Doh dates and parties. There are many things that allow children to develop whilst playing with the clay.

Another plus to Play-Doh clay is the color education factor. Children can create their own colors by molding together two or even three various colors of clay and consequently learn all about color mixing and development. The unfortunate factor to this is that once the clay colors are mixed it is impossible to pull out the original colors from the clay; however, this does teach children about permanence of actions which is not always a bad thing.

In a nutshell the only drawbacks I have with Play-Doh is that it does not last when left out of the can and it is not waterproof, both of this things are simply the nature of the beast and come with the makeup of the clay itself.

Pros
Social interaction, physical education, small muscle skills, colors education, imaginative play

Cons
Non-waterproof, limited durability.

There are 2 different pictures of this product on Amazon; one is a pyramid of what appears to be large cans of Play-doh and the other is a box of 10 small colors, and the prices are $15 and 7 respectively. I ordered the pyramid, which I expected to be 10 full sized cans, and received the box of 10 2oz. cans, that are pictured and sold for $7 on Amazon. We love play-doh but were misled and ripped off here.

My granddaughter and I play with Play-Doh almost everytime she comes to stay with me. I was away for a while and her old ones dried up so I sent for this Case of Colors. Oh my! She was so excited, there are different colors in this case, colors we've never had before. She especially loves the brown. I like the smaller size, since it's just the two of us playing. We can still make all the things we did with the larger containers, only now we have more colors to choose from.

Sometimes, happily, there is much enjoyment to be found outside electronics! My 5 year old grand-daughter loves her play doh...and her 6 year old sister, her 30-somethings parents and her 50-somethings grandparents are finding much enjoyment also! (Tactile creativity? Very hard to beat that, plus all hands in the dough!).

Bought these as party favors for my three year old's birthday - they are a larger size can than the ones in the "party pack" . I bought two packages and there are colors I wouldn't give out to kids as party favors - white, black and brown - so now we can two cans each of those colors for our use here at home. My son isn't too picky on the colors and they get all mixed up anyway so it is not a big deal. We keep a can in our diaper bag to pull out if he gets restless when we are out to eat or whatever.

this toy moves the imagination and encorages the creative side of the child to a higher level. she loves this and it occupies her time enought to give her mom some quiet time to herself.

Playdoh is a classic and a must have for any child. This set is fantastic for any kid who likes to create with more than one color at once. It also works wonderfully for group activities. Just pass out each playdoh container and let the kids go to town! They often end up trading bits of playdoh anyway and all have a blast! It also offers a nice variety of colors in this pack.

I ordered this product prior to Christmas and expected it to arrive prior to Christmas - as per the website.

I was disappointed that the product arrived four days after Christmas.
