Why it works
At 3 and 4, modelling clay by itself soon gets boring, but a machine that makes ice creams changes the game: they pull down the lever, the cone turns and out comes the swirl. Then comes playing shops, with customers and orders, which is where they spend the afternoon.
Our verdict
For the youngest in the catalogue. If they already have a lot of Play-Doh, a pack of refill tubs will do the same job.
They will like it if
- they set up play kitchens and shops with anything to hand
- they are between 3 and 5
- they like squeezing, kneading and serving
Bear in mind
- the clay dries out if the tubs are not closed
- the colours end up mixed into brown
- it leaves crumbs on rugs
What's in the box
- 5 tubs of modelling clay
- Lever that turns the cup or cone
- Spoon, pots and moulds
- Mould for making sprinkles
