Children from the age of three to six can never get enough of playing with Play-Doh, the timelessly popular modelling dough. This large (20 cm tall, 20 cm diameter) bucket is literally bursting with potential for creative play and once youngsters delve inside they will be occupied for hours. The Play-doh Packed Full of Fun Bucket contains a generous amount of the squidgy stuff--with three large 6 oz pots in blue, green and orange and three smaller 2 oz containers with red, yellow and purple. All pots have resealable lids for effective storage and each base carries an animal image that is easily imprinted on the dough with clear results.
There is a colourful assortment of moulding, squeezing and cutting accessories including animal moulds of a duck, butterfly, rabbit, horse and an elephant and fun shapes of a man, star, circle and tree. The extruding instrument--a pen tube with plunger--is simple but effective and children will enjoy pushing Play-Doh through four different shapes on a strip of plastic. In addition there are four cutter rings on a wooden dowel to create straight, zigzag or serrated lines and a large pair of blunt scissors for any final cuts.
The bucket has a lid (with five moulds on the inside) and so easily stores all the many parts. It is light with a plastic handle, so that it can be taken anywhere, at any time.
The bucket is versatile, being both an ideal top-up present to Play-doh lovers and an excellent introduction for beginners. --Tracey Hogan
