Advantages: Good range of accessories,

Disadvantages: Can be hard for little fingers to use on their own. difficult to store

This is a funky little octopus which gives children hours of fun.

My 3 year old uses this all the time. Each of the octopuses legs has a different playdough accessory which can be used for cutting, stamping patterns, bashing etc. in addition, there is also a section on the front which you can attach different creatues and when the playdough is pushed down under the hat, they sprout legs/hair/tongues.

Parental assistance is needed for young children as they can find it difficult to push the playdough down into the hollow area under the hat and also to apply enough pressure to push it through to create the creatures. Our favourite part of the kit is the fish creator. you can push playdough into a fish mould (which is shaped like a shell) and create 3d fish, once create these can be tossed over the octopuses head (although he never ctaches them like the adverts)

The downside to this product is that once it is assembled and you have got rid of the box, it can be quite difficult to store. ours is in a basket in a cupboard but inevitably pieces keep falling out of it and if not careful they can get lost.

Summary: A good fun product, has everything in to save buying duplicate sets
