Thanks to Play-Doh for sending along the fun kit!
Yesterday was a big day for one of America’s all-time favorite brands for kids. It was Play-Doh’s 60th birthday! So many generations have enjoyed squishing, rolling, and making new creations out of that awesome stuff that comes in the yellow can.
One of my favorite toys growing up was a Play-Doh ice cream and soda fountain shop I had as a child. I loved making ice cream with blueberries sprinkled on top for all of my dolls. 🙂
Now my own girls get to enjoy Play-Doh and it’s one of my favorite things to get to play with them.
I love to watch their little minds get busy with all sorts of ideas for creation. I love the fact that playing with Play-Doh can result in some serious art time, some entrepreneurial time (my girls love to “sell” what they make!) and some time getting to imagine different awesome careers (engineer and cupcake maker all in one? Sure!).
I also love watching them work on their motor skills and strengthening their little hands while they make different shapes and designs. You never quite know where a play-doh session will take you, and I love that open-ended nature of it.
We’ve been playing with the Cupcake Celebration kit since Play-Doh just had a big birthday to celebrate. It’s loads of fun and very nicely priced at $19.99. I thought perhaps your child might enjoy getting to do the exact same thing, so let’s have a giveaway, shall we?
My son loves Play doh, especially the Digging rigs series bc he loves trucks!
I HAVE 5 SISTERS SO WE USE TO MAKE EVERYTHING FROM HAMBURGERS TO CAKES 😉
Currently, he’s too small to create anything butbhe likes the way it feels on his hands.
I love the smell of it. We used to roll it everywhere and it would be tracked through the house on the bottoms of our feet. Mostly we made food items and played tea time.
I loved Play-Doh as a kid but all we had were our hands to shape it or cookie cutters. My son loves making mini food such as burgers, hot dogs, fries etc with his and serving it to me on mini plates.

I loved play doh as a kid, but I don’t remember what all I used to make with it. They didn’t have all these sets and things, so I just used to mold stuff and make random objects.
If I remember correctly getting in a ton of trouble smashing it into the new carpet my father had freshly put down on the floors. I can still to this day hear those horrific screams of look what you did Melissa, what ails you?!? lol.
I do remember multiple times as a child making blueberry pies out of play doh for my father and my much older brother, I st9ll remember those “blueberry pie” days. Ahhh childhood and the nostalgia of playdoh!
