Inspire Imagination and Creativity with Play-Doh

Play-Doh is a classic toy that teaches children to use their imagination and creativity.  As a child I loved “baking cookies” with my Play-Doh set.  I use the term “set” loosely.  It consisted of 5 different colors of dough and nothing else.  My mom let me use her biscuit cutter but the rest was up to me.  Mixing colors to create new ones was always an interesting experience.  Now you can purchase 24 different colors in one box!

While my mom’s biscuit cutter kept me content, I would have loved the Play-Doh Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe or the Super Craft Caddy. September 16th was National Play-Doh Day (there’s a holiday for everything, isn’t there?).  To celebrate, I introduced my two year old to his first Play-Doh experience with a Play-Doh Burger Builder. We had so much fun and it was a great way to spend some quality time together.

With the holidays approaching, I am adding Play-Doh toys to my list of potential inexpensive gifts for the children on my list. It’s also a great thing to keep on hand for last minute birthday gifts because the age range is broad and enjoyable for girls and boys alike.
