The Play-doh 4-Packs come with four pots of colored doh, each pot contains 5-ounces of Play-Doh (a little more than a handful.) The pots are resealable and reusable and are made from plastic hard yet flexible enough to withstand being dropped. The four pots are held together with a cardboard sleeve packaging which is both easy and quick to remove making for easy and fast playtime.

The play-doh four packs of doh come in a variety of colors: Pastels (orange, yellow, teal, lilac), Classic Colors (turquoise, red, white and yellow), Favorite Colors (magenta, aquamarine, purple and pink), and Neon Colors (magenta, green, orange and pink) all priced at $1.99. The Play-Doh pots can also be purchased in two-packs for $0.99, Play-Doh single softpack assortments for $1.99, Play-Doh Party Packs (10 smaller pots) for $2.99, Halloween Trick or Treat packs (20 small pots) for $3.99, Play-Doh cases (10 pots) for $4.99, and the Play-Doh 50th birthday set of 50 Play-Doh pots for $12.99. Play-Doh also carries a variety of tools and play sets to go with the Doh.

Play-Doh colors can also be mixed together to create various other colors which not only gives children the opportunity to create colors that are not sold but also gives them a chance to learn about color mixing.

I am a huge fan of Play-Doh modeling clay for many reasons: the non-toxicity of the clay, the imaginative uses of the clay, the affordability of the clay and finally the educational value of the clay. The cost is one of the primary reasons that I chose to review Play-Doh clay. So many parents these days are forced on to tighter and tighter budgets so that it becomes harder to purchase the more costly toys, and when they look for more affordable toys they are often duped in to buying cheap toys that don’t last. Play-Doh is an affordable toy that lasts a considerably long time as long as it is sealed in to the pots provided for storage.

For years since it’s accidental creation Play-doh has been an affordable toy that parents and families turn to for entertainment. I recommend this “toy” which is more of a craft than anything, to any parents out there who are looking for a toy which offers more than sitting in front of a television set. I love the variety of colors available and although I do love the smaller pot packs of Play-Doh I highly recommend the 50th birthday pack, which comes with fifty pots of Play-Doh, for the money.

The only things I don’t care for with Play-Doh’s doh is that it is not waterproof; however, that is expected with the composition of the clay. I also do not like that the toy is not a travel toy, but again this is not something that can be helped.

As far as Play-Doh goes, even though it is not considered a “hot toy” it is a fun toy that I recommend for gift giving as well as for craft and playtime at home. And for those of you who worry about the composition, you can be rest assured that Play-Doh is non-toxic; however, if you have a child with wheat allergies Play-Doh is not the toy for your household as it does contain wheat products.
