Review: Nice but impressions are faint - Hoped for a better kit especially from M&D while its sturdily built - wooden, the impressions need quit a firm press to get them in the play dough. Otherwise hours of daily fun Review: Good for Promoting Wrist Stability, fine Motor, Single Handed and Bi-lateral - I bought this kit to work on wrist stability and functional play with our son, who has a laundry list of diagnoses at this point that as come with global developmental delays. Right now, we're using this as part of a non-verbal imitation (NVI) target, but the wrist stability is the big thing I'm hoping to get out of it, as it's an important area for developing a tripod grasp with writing utensils. I purchased this as opposed to other roller sets for 3 reasons: 1) two of the rolling pin style rollers have designs they will imprint into the clay and I suspected/hoped this would be more motivating for our little man, 2) one of the rollers is a one-hander, and I thought that he might be able to manage that easier first and therefore be more willing to try it as an NVI thing, ad 3) the wooden blocks with imprint shapes I felt would be easier for him to grasp then typical cookie cutters and would give him something he could do to modify the clay quicker from the skills standpoint, which again, I thought would be more motivating. I love that I proved to be right on all 3 of those, because yesterday was one of those days with our little guy that was serving me my butt in a wheelbarrow, and this morning when we tried to walk in a different direction other then his sister's school wasn't any better, and I totally needed to see something succeed like crazy. So, as you can see from the manufacturer's picture, these canisters of play clay are tiny. Just barely enough to be functional with this kit. It did initially seem goopier to me then play do, but it honestly didn't stick to the table any more then play do did, and I didn't have any problems whatsoever cleaning things out when we were done. Very miniscule amounts of the clay product actually stuck to the wood block we were using, none of it stuck to the rollers, which seemed to have a higher gloss varnish/sealer on them, so they're a bit less sticky. And I'm going to respectfully disagree with another reviewer that plastic play do toys are better, because we've got a full set of those and have since our daughter was a toddler...and let me tell you, it doesn't matter what they're made of, if play do dries in them, they can be murder to clean out regardless, but sometimes plastic is easier to break then wood if you're trying to chip out dried play clay. I did notice that a small bit of paint came off from the red block we were using into the clay, but I looked at it closely, and it appeared to be some loose painted wood dust that was left over from manufacturing, because I didn't see any chipped paint on our block. But I imagine paint could chip over time with use and it would go into the clay. But then, anything including pet hair will do that, so I'm not really going to be fussy about that. For our son, he's 5, and his hands are a bit on the big side for his age. He can grasp the one handed roller fine, it's more fine motor for him to do the other rollers because he can't wrap his hands all the way around the grippers and has to use his finger tips. Which I think can be useful as well. So, if you are getting this for an older or a bigger pre schooler or kindergartener, that is something to consider...they may be more comfortable with something with a larger hand grip space. But since he has fine motor needs also, I'm pretty groovy with that. And I think that the shapes in the lid are super cool too and I'm going to progress up to those once he's feeling comfortable with the blocks. So overall, I think this is a very cool product. ## Features - 🎨 Sensory Play Made Fun – Stimulates tactile learning with soft, colorful dough that keeps kids engaged in creative play for hours - 🧠 Boosts Creativity & Learning – Helps children recognize shapes, build patterns, and develop fine motor skills while sculpting imaginative creations - βœ‚οΈ All-in-One DIY Kit – Includes 4 vibrant modeling dough tubs and over 8 fun tools like rollers, stamps, and cutters for open-ended play - πŸ§’ Kid-Safe & Easy to Use – Soft dough and chunky, durable tools are perfectly sized for little hands to grip and mold safely - 🌈 Vibrant Reusable Dough – Dough stays fresh and colorful for repeated use, encouraging sustainable and long-lasting play sessions - 🧼 Mess-Free & Simple Clean-Up – Designed to stay off surfaces and clothes for hassle-free cleanup and organized storage - πŸ‘ͺ Perfect for Family Time – Encourages bonding with siblings or parents through collaborative building, rolling, and molding - 🎁 Gift-Ready Packaging – Makes a thoughtful and educational gift for birthdays, holidays, or anytime creativity is needed - πŸ“¦ Compact and Portable – Great for travel or playdates, with a design that’s easy to store and take on the go - βœ… Trusted by Parents – From Melissa & Doug, a brand known for safe, high-quality toys that support child development through screen-free play ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B000062SPJ | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Age range (description) | Kid | | Best Sellers Rank | #3,051 in Toys ( See Top 100 in Toys ) #15 in Kids' Clay & Dough Accessories | | Brand | Melissa & Doug | | Brand Name | Melissa & Doug | | Color | Red, Yellow, Blue, Green | | Colour | Red, Yellow, Blue, Green | | Country of Publication | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 4,653 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Motor Skill | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00000772001656 | | Included Components | Five easy-to-grip wooden stamping cubes and three molding rollers with unique patterns | | Item Dimensions | 38 x 243 x 243 millimeters | | Item Type Name | Arts & Crafts | | Item Weight | 0.64 Kilograms | | Item weight | 0.64 Kilograms | | Manufacturer | Melissa & Doug | | Manufacturer Part Number | 165 | | Material | Wood | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | Shape, Model, and Mold Clay Activity Set | | Model Number | 165 | | Number of Items | 4 | | Other Special Features of the Product | Non-Toxic | | Recommended Uses For Product | Playing | | UPC | 000772001656 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1.3 | ## Product Details - **Age range (description):** Kid - **Brand:** Melissa & Doug - **Colour:** Red, Yellow, Blue, Green - **Item weight:** 0.64 Kilograms - **Material:** Wood ## Images ![165 Shape, Model and Mold - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81tA7+xSY+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: What ages is this suggested for?** A: i bought this for my 2 year olds 2nd bday she was started to get into playing with this kind of stuff so i decided to try it out.... but i would recommend it more for a three year old.

Does it have gluten or wheat in it? I can't find the ingredients anywhere on this listing. I have a child with allergie** A: Play-Doh's current manufacturer, Hasbro, says the compound is primarily a mixture of water, salt, and flour, while its 2004 United States patent indicates it is composed of water, a starch-based binder, a retrogradation inhibitor, salt, lubricant, surfactant, preservative, hardener, humectant, fragrance, and color. But you can find home made play dough on children activity web sites **Q: How do I find someone's gift list?** A: Amazon lets you search for people's Wish Lists by e-mail address. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice but impressions are faint *by O***6 on 9 March 2021* Hoped for a better kit especially from M&D while its sturdily built - wooden, the impressions need quit a firm press to get them in the play dough.
