If you’re looking for a last-minute gift for a kid on your Christmas list, look no further than Play-Doh!
An easy, affordable gift that is sure to please any kid – boy or girl – between the ages of 2 and 8, Play-Doh products of some kind can ALWAYS be found on the shelves of your local Wal-Mart, Target, Toys “R” Us, and other toy retailers. Some store websites even let you check to see if a product is in stock at their store so you don’t waste any time searching!
| Take this Play-Doh Fundamentals Assortment, for instance. It’s a wonderful introduction to Play-Doh tools for toddlers! Featuring animal-themed activities, including ocean rollers, tropical cutter, arctic stampers, and jungle extruders, this adorable line of tools teaches little ones basic coordination skills. The basic tools are easy enough for even the youngest children to master, so siblings of various ages can share them. Each set, sold separately, includes a cute animal-themed play mat and two 2-ounce cans of colorful Play-Doh compound. At $5.99, it’s an affordable stocking stuffer! |

| The Play-Doh Mr. Pota-Doh Head Playset, also $5.99, is SO fun! Mix and match arms and legs, and use the molds to make Play-Doh accessories for Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head! This silly set includes two 2-ounce cans of brown compound and three 1-ounce cans or red, white, and black compound, as well as a playmat. That’s my niece starting off hers in the photo below. To the right is my little guy. I think I have as much fun playing as the kids do! |
