Review on Non-Toxic Play Doh Modeling Compound: Exclusive Arts & Crafts Edition by James Yarbrough

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Has the formula changed?

There's not much to say about Play-Doh that not everyone already knows. However, let's focus on price, duration, size and color! I have all shades of the base color and everything in between. I wish I had double red or black but got double lavender, daffodil yellow and pink. There were Play-Doh colors I didn't even know existed! I went for the no disappoint package (LOVE that this is now an option) but ended up leaving the box for storage. - These aren't full-size cans, but for the volume, it's worth it! - Unlike some others I read before I bought them that the cans we got didn't last very long. Playtime was very well controlled and everything was boxed and sealed, but I had to 'touch up' almost everything several times (using a plastic bag, water and lots of puree. We bought this as a Christmas present and as of mid February they were all kicked out. Funnily enough, the pack I got last June played similarly but lasted until December with very very few "updates". Has anything changed? Or did I get an old pack? "The price I paid I wouldn't order them again. Most people seem to get their packages for $16-20, if I understand correctly I paid $26 pretax for this box and won't be doing it again. Not good value for money -Ratio. Next time I'll look for other suppliers or wait until the prices go down!. Pause to distribute. If it's REALLY dry as you think it's better as a paperweight than as a play-do h is, break it up as best you can, place in a plastic bag or airtight container, and pour in a tablespoon or more of hot water. Let it sit for a while (or if you're feeling frustrated, start mashing right away) and then use a fork or your fingers to get it moving again. I often get a lot of excess water that wipes off easily with a paper towel, but this makes it almost new again. It's just a lot of work! As you can see from the photos, the kids had a great time cooking up Christmas! I only wish it had taken a little longer. 😊 I hope this was helpful for you!

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Good, but not great
