Even when there’s a particular toy that your kid has wanted for months, odds are it will only hold his attention for so long. That’s why we love toys that are multifunctional—more to do means a greater chance of the toy being played with for more than a week. The Play-Doh Super Craft Caddy from Hasbro features four different craft stations with sand art, stained glass, bead making and cake decorating, which means four times the playing time.
Our testing mom tried it out with her three kids, ages 5-8, and they had a blast with all the different things they could make. Although the sand art and stained glass crafts don’t use the traditional supplies (i.e. sand and paint), the Play-Doh looks just as nice and involves a lot less mess. Plus the caddy comes with eight different colors of Play-Doh, so you don’t have to worry about buying it separately. Although the kids fought a bit over the one knife and pair of scissors included in the caddy, they loved that they could each do something different. Mom, on the other hand, liked that it was less messy than other Play-Doh sets with easy-to-clean tools and a large mat to protect the floor from stray bits of Play-Doh.
The Play-Doh Super Craft Caddy retails for $19.99. For more information visit www.hasbro.com.
