Play-Doh 50th Birthday Rainbow Pack of 50 Different Colors

I have only word for this - fantastic - this one derives its inspiration straight from real kids and their parents...what do kids love more than variety - they really don't care that its a small container of play doh - as long as there are many of them. and what do parents love more than the fact that even if some of the play doh is left out and dries up, as it will sometimes, there's so much more....and you really can't beat the price

The best way to use this product is in small quanities - I let my daughter choose 2 new colors every week and play with those and all the others she has open already...granted no color looks anything like it started out, but hey, childhood is all that and more....

Yes, you have to keep it away from the carpet, and yes, it has that oh-so-familiar Play_Doh smell, but there is something so therapeutic about sitting down with your kids and squeezing this stuff in your hands. Rolling it out, using cookie cutters on it, making little animals.

The tubs in this set are small, but I love the variety of colors - 50!

We bought this set almost a year ago, and it's still fresh and moist - maybe it's ths small containers that keep it moist.

It's a great buy for the price.

This product is not nearly as good as I remember. As a parent, I avoid this like the plague.

First of all, let's be honest, it stinks. I forgot how nauseating this product really smells. Yuck! Second, it's messy. It crumbles and falls apart easily. Therefore it ends up everywhere. I.E. on the table, floor, chairs, carpet, etc. Third, the colors do not mix well together, no matter how much you work them. Finally, once it dries out, it's garbage. Children tend to never put the lid on properly, so it has a short shelf life.

Yes, I'll admit that it is fun to squish, mash, and make various shapes out of this. However, modeling clay is a much better choice. It lasts forever, because it does not crumble or dry out. It does not smell great either, but it smells better than this stuff.

The items were as advertised - 50 2 oz. containers of Play-Doh each in a different color. I cannot review their contents or ease of use since they were bought as gifts for underprivileged children and donated to the local food bank toy drive. I do know that they were difficult to find in retail stores until 2 weeks after I had purchased them at Amazon.com.
My children and grand-children have used Play-Doh over the years so I know it's a good, safe product and a gift-giving staple.

I couldn't believe how many colors there were in the play-doh package. My granddaughters loved it. The package was so heavy my little 4 yr. old granddaughter was trying to carry it and kept saying, "but its soooo big". They were so excited and i'm so glad i found this product on Amazon. I love the little individual packaging. What a great idea to give us a 50th anniversary color set. By the way. All the products i bought from Amazon all arrived within 4 days even though Amazon said maybe 2 weeks. love this place.
