The Ultimate Gear For Your Play-Doh Adventures
Play-Doh. It’s a delightful distraction and a bit of a headache. On one hand, I know my kids will be fully absorbed for a while, allowing me to take a shower, prepare dinner, tidy up, or indulge in some guilty pleasures like binge-watching my favorite shows while snacking on chocolate chips. And I can do all this without the guilt of plopping them in front of a screen. On the flip side, I can anticipate a mountain of little dried-up bits on my floor for weeks to come, not to mention the inevitable rainbow-colored surprises in the bathroom.
However, the mess isn’t so bad, and my kids absolutely adore Play-Doh. Since we don’t use it every day, it stays fresh and keeps their interest alive. To make the experience more enjoyable for both my children and myself, I sought out several tools to enhance our Play-Doh sessions.
- A Generous Supply of Play-Doh
There’s nothing worse than the disappointment of saying “Let’s get out some Play-Doh!” only to discover that the containers are all dried out and mixed together. I like to keep a few tubs accessible, along with a stash in a cabinet. This way, I can easily swap out the old, crusty dough for vibrant, pet-hair-free options.
Plus, Amazon offers a Dash Button for Play-Doh. You can stick it wherever you store your supplies, and when you’re running low, a quick press orders more via Wi-Fi. You even get a credit that offsets the button’s cost on your first order, making it practically free! If your family goes through Play-Doh like mine does, this is a game-changer. - Oversized Silicone Baking Mats
These mats are essential for managing the Play-Doh chaos. I lay them out for each child, preventing the dough from getting wedged into the grooves of our kitchen table. Once the fun is over, we can easily put the Play-Doh back in its containers and shake the mats off into the trash. No more tedious tape tricks to pick up tiny scraps! They then go back in a bin with the rest of our Play-Doh supplies. - Play-Doh Tools
A comprehensive set of tools is invaluable. With these, your kids can cut, roll, and shape Play-Doh into anything their imaginations conjure. - Play-Doh Fun Factory
You can’t have a Play-Doh collection without a Fun Factory. I remember using one as a kid, and it kept me entertained for hours. We got one for my daughter a couple of years ago, and she still gravitates towards it every time we bring out the Play-Doh. - K-Cup Carousel
A surprising addition! If you prefer the smaller containers of Play-Doh, this carousel is an excellent storage solution. It’s particularly useful for small spaces where you can’t have a ton of tubs scattered around.
Play-Doh is going to be a staple in your home for a while, so it’s wise to make the experience as enjoyable and manageable as possible for the entire family.
