As most mothers know it can be tricky when it comes to finding a toy that a child doesn't get bored of and throw in to a corner after five minutes of playing with it.As a mother of a 22 month old energetic little boy I bought this as I thought It would make great playtime and would boost his imaginative skills.I bought this from argos for £9.99 and when I opened it I got more than I expected for my money.It has an assortment of 20 mini size versions of the playdoh in a variety of bright colors.Also comes with shape cutters and scissors and a variety of doh cutting equipment.My son has a great time with this ,I think he finds the texture quite interesting.An there is so much you can do it just depends on your imagination.Another plus side is that if you have carpet it does not get stuck in the carpet it just easily lifts out.The manufacturer recommends this product is for 3+ plus years my son is nearly 2 and I find it is suitable for him if you choose to buy for and under 3 I would say that was fine just as long as there is supervision.
