    • Great Toddler Playdough Set
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
This Melissa & Doug Shape Model and Mold set is Awesome! It comes with the different rolling pins, the pie crust thingie and the five block shape imprinters, as well as the four tubs of playdough. Admittedly the playdough is a bit dried out by the time it gets to the consumer so it is not as maleable as it should be so you may not get as much play out of it as you would hope for. However each of the small tubs the dough comes in has an animal shape imprint in the lid. Making the dough container a toy in and of itself. So even after the dough dries out you will want to keep the tubs around to press into new dough and see the animal shape left behind. Also, I would like to point out that the square blocks are the perfect size and shape for small toddler hands to use. Any child can use them to play with playdough, they are easy for them to grasp and then push into the dough. If it is too hard for them to push into traditional playdough, try making homemade playdough. The recipes I have tried seem to be softer than the store bought stuff. The only word of caution I have is that as an adult trying to roll out the playdough for my son, my larger hands rub against the main part of the rolling pin and I almost got a splinter. I don't think this is a problem for smaller toddler hands, but I will be taking a cautionary piece of sandpaper to the rolling pin just in case. As the set is wood, I forsee it lasting me quite some time. My son loves playing with playdough and this set has allready been well worth it's price. ... show more

    • Good for Promoting Wrist Stability, fine Motor, Single Handed and Bi-lateral
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
I bought this kit to work on wrist stability and functional play with our son, who has a laundry list of diagnoses at this point that as come with global developmental delays. Right now, we're using this as part of a non-verbal imitation (NVI) target, but the wrist stability is the big thing I'm hoping to get out of it, as it's an important area for developing a tripod grasp with writing utensils. I purchased this as opposed to other roller sets for 3 reasons: 1) two of the rolling pin style rollers have designs they will imprint into the clay and I suspected/hoped this would be more motivating for our little man, 2) one of the rollers is a one-hander, and I thought that he might be able to manage that easier first and therefore be more willing to try it as an NVI thing, ad 3) the wooden blocks with imprint shapes I felt would be easier for him to grasp then typical cookie cutters and would give him something he could do to modify the clay quicker from the skills standpoint, which again, I thought would be more motivating. I love that I proved to be right on all 3 of those, because yesterday was one of those days with our little guy that was serving me my butt in a wheelbarrow, and this morning when we tried to walk in a different direction other then his sister's school wasn't any better, and I totally needed to see something succeed like crazy. So, as you can see from the manufacturer's picture, these canisters of play clay are tiny. Just barely enough to be functional with this kit. It did initially seem goopier to me then play do, but it honestly didn't stick to the table any more then play do did, and I didn't have any problems whatsoever cleaning things out when we were done. Very miniscule amounts of the clay product actually stuck to the wood block we were using, none of it stuck to the rollers, which seemed to have a higher gloss varnish/sealer on them, so they're a bit less sticky. And I'm going to respectfully disagree with another reviewer that plastic play do toys are better, because we've got a full set of those and have since our daughter was a toddler...and let me tell you, it doesn't matter what they're made of, if play do dries in them, they can be murder to clean out regardless, but sometimes plastic is easier to break then wood if you're trying to chip out dried play clay. I did notice that a small bit of paint came off from the red block we were using into the clay, but I looked at it closely, and it appeared to be some loose painted wood dust that was left over from manufacturing, because I didn't see any chipped paint on our block. But I imagine paint could chip over time with use and it would go into the clay. But then, anything including pet hair will do that, so I'm not really going to be fussy about that. For our son, he's 5, and his hands are a bit on the big side for his age. He can grasp the one handed roller fine, it's more fine motor for him to do the other rollers because he can't wrap his hands all the way around the grippers and has to use his finger tips. Which I think can be useful as well. So, if you are getting this for an older or a bigger pre schooler or kindergartener, that is something to consider...they may be more comfortable with something with a larger hand grip space. But since he has fine motor needs also, I'm pretty groovy with that. And I think that the shapes in the lid are super cool too and I'm going to progress up to those once he's feeling comfortable with the blocks. So overall, I think this is a very cool product. ... show more

    • Fun Activity Set for Toddlers
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
This set has been so much fun for my daughter. The dough is soft and easy for little hands to use, and all of the tools and molds keep her entertained for a long time. I also really like the quality compared to some other modeling dough sets we’ve tried. The pieces feel durable, the colors are bright, and it’s great for creative play and fine motor skills. Definitely a fun activity to keep around for rainy days or quiet play time. ... show more

    • Good Quality, Could Use More "Doh" haha
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
Boy mom to a 2-year-old here. We really like this set and my son enjoys playing with it. The dough is softer than Play-Doh, which makes it easier for little hands to work with, and the tools are great for his age. I just wish there was more dough included in the pack. Overall, it’s a solid activity and a good buy. ... show more

    • Buy if you want your child to roll out cookie dough for you!
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
Not much to say. Melissa & Doug made a great product. I bought two of their clay/play-dough kits. The wooden rollers and stamps in this one are significantly better than other plastic options I’ve seen and tried. Thanks to this kit my child is probably better at rolling out dough than I am. Rolling dough has always been my least favorite part of baking, and now I have a skilled helper to do it for me! ... show more

    • Very disappointed, not worth it
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
I was excited to find this for my toddler to explore sensory. However, after playing with it only a handful of times, the play dough is completely dry and crumbly. The play dough itself is probably not to blame, it’s that the lids to the containers do not stay on at all! I can’t believe these crappy containers! The wooden toys are fine and very sturdy, but the dough (which is the whole reason I bought this)is just gross to play with now. We really did not get very much use out of this, and bc of all the great reviews, I thought it would be a good buy. I’m also a former toddler teacher and we used a lot of Melissa & Doug items that were high quality. I was very disappointed in the quality of this set. If it wasn’t for the poorly made containers, thus set would be very nice for sensory exploration. ... show more

    • Great tool set for play dough
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
I'd seen some negative reviews of this set, but we really love it. It's true that the dough the set comes with is a little sad looking - the containers are tiny, and I honestly haven't even bothered to open them yet. We've been using it with play dough, and my toddler loves the tools so much that we've had to do play dough several times a day since I brought them out last week. The stamps might not be particularly thrilling to an older kid, but for a two year old, the very idea of play dough stamps is fascinating. He especially loves using toothpicks to clean them out when he is done, and the occasional play dough break to stack them into a tower . . . The rolling pins are pretty fun, even for adults. It's true that they're pretty tiny, but they're the perfect size for little hands. The cutter is a big hit as well. We love that they are made of wood and don't seem terribly fragile, like the tools I remember snapping in half as a kid! I did buy this set when it was a Deal of the Day, so I'm not sure I'd buy it at a much higher price, but we really enjoy it. ... show more

    • Good Idea, Poor Design & Manufacturing
Size: 9.6 x 9.6 x 1.6
I purchased this Melissa & Doug set for my son for his 2nd birthday. I thought that he'd have a lot of fun with the dough and the toys. I really wanted a rolling pin and some 'cookie cutter' type toys. I had read other Amazon reviews and knew that the clay/dough was unimpressive, so I purchased this set solely for the tools. In hindsight, I should have just purchased some plastic toys instead. We're trying to shy away from most plastic toys, but I think that plastic would have been a better option for these types of toys. The dough sticks to the rollers, especially the one with the square checker-board pattern. I just called M&D customer service and they offered to replace that single rolling pin. They suggested that I coat the toys with cooking oil, which I will do, when the new one arrives. The toys wood be okay if the wooden pieces were sanded smooth enough. They are quite rough, so the dough sticks very easily. Also, a rolling pin without a handle would be much easier for small hands. All in all, my money could have been spent better elsewhere. I'm disappointed by this Melissa & Doug item, which is unusual, as I love all the other M&D toys that we own. ... show more
