PLAY-DOH levels UP!

Product Review

(Daddy plays dough)

For some reason, PLAY-DOH has been a long time favourite in my family...and come to think of it, I don't think I have ever come across a kid who didn't enjoy sculpting and creating with it! Both Ash and Ayd loved squishing and kneading PLAY-DOH when they were younger. And although Ash seems to have slightly outgrown it, Ayd is still relishing it and will pounce on any chance for some PLAY-DOH fun whenever the opportunity arises.

And the opportunity did come - in the form of PLAY-DOH's latest offering, the SWEET SHOPPE FROSTING FUN BAKERY Playset.

Erm, Ash didn't look too enthusiastic there huh? But all that changed when the box was ripped apart and its contents laid out for him to feast his eyes upon.

This Sweet Shoppe Frosting Fun Bakery playset is THE PLAY-DOH tool for making all those special treats for an ultimate make-believe tea session. There will be cakes, muffins and cupcakes that kids can shape and make, but the one thing special about this new set is the PLAY-DOH that comes in a purple container.

PLAY-DOH PLUS. A brand new compound that allows for a new level of creative detail in the world of PLAY-DOH. Simply put, the new PLAY-DOH PLUS has a softer and fluffier texture which is perfect for adding dollops of frosting or detailed decorations on Play-Doh cakes, cookies & cupcakes.

So now, all those cakes, cupcakes and muffins can be decorated and frosted with realistically-looking swirls  beautiful flowers, stars and more!

Looks almost as good as the real thing, no? And just as I was getting the hang of creating fun twirling swirls on my cupcakes, I was reminded by the boys that I was too old for this kind of stuff... and I got exiled, to which they derived great pleasure in taking over the playset.

Where was Ale all these while, you ask? She was blissfully taking her afternoon nap but luckily for her, she woke up just in time to gatecrash the baking party.

And she loved it. In fact, all three monkies loved it!

They definitely enjoyed conjuring up their treats, and decorating them with the extremely malleable PLAY-DOH PLUS. I say this is one toy that serves up all the sweet treats... minus all of the calories that is. Thanks to Hasbro Singapore for the wonderful treat!

The PLAY-DOH Sweet Shoppe FROSTING FUN BAKERY Playset is retailing at Toys”R”Us and all major department stores for S$24.90. The views and opinions expressed are mine and cannot be bought. However, I may want to buy yours if I run out of my own.
