Toys and Games Reviews of Play-Doh Octopus Playset

Customer Review: Too difficult to use
Summary: 2 Stars

The playdough in itself is fun for kids, but my 3 and 5 year olds find the playdough too hard to push all the way down the narrow shaft with the pusher, and then have a hard time digging it back out. And even if the playdough is successfully pushed out(w/help), there is always a big chunk of it that still remains at the bottom because the pusher doesn't go all the way down to the bottom, so you have to dig it out with a long narrow stick or something, which is a big pain. The attachments that the playdough squishes through are too hard to remove, even for an adult, and if there's dried up playdough in the edges, it's makes it almost impossible to remove. Although my kids have enjoyed playing with it, it required a lot of my help and standby because of these shortfalls.

Customer Review: Great Playdoh set!!!
Summary: 5 Stars

My son just received this for his 4th birthday. It comes with 4 full size tubs of playdoh, lots of tools and molds for making different sea creatures. The octopus' hat comes out and acts as a plunger for pushing the playdoh down and out the front to create different creatures (turtle, octopus, etc.). This is bit too hard for my son to do so he needs help pushing the playdoh thru. There is also a "flip the fish" game built in. This is a nice added feature. Basically you make a fish with the included mold press and then put the fish on the octopus' arm and flip it in the air. My son thinks this is so funny and tries to see how far he can fling the fish (watch out!). There is plenty to do with this set and should keep any little one busy for a good amount of time.

Customer Review: Disappointment!
Summary: 1 Stars

We recently purchased this toy for my 3 and 4 year olds. What a disappointment. After weeks of asking for this toy, we bought it only to find it so un-user friendly, my children gave up after 10 minutes with it. It's very difficult to push the playdoh far enough down to squish it out of the bottom and then when you do you have to find something small enough to dig out the rest of the playdoh since the plunger doesn't completely push it out. No attachment that comes with it is small enough to "dig out" the rest so a nearby pen or knife comes in handy. Boy, that's safe! Save your money and buy something else or just get the playdoh and have them use their imagination. You'll be less frustrated.

Customer Review: it's good & it's bad...
Summary: 3 Stars

My 3 1/2 yr old son loves to play with it. It keeps him busy for long periods of time. He loves play doh.
But if you feel play doh must be salvaged at any cost, then this will drive YOU crazy. The tube the play doh goes through is tight & long. So alot of play doh has to be used for it to come out the other end. It does not come with a cleaning tool. I improvise and use a plastic knife to clean it out. No big deal.Or wait til it gets hard and throw it out.
But it's novel & he likes it and I don't object to throwing some play doh away if it gets hard.

Customer Review: so much FUN!
Summary: 5 Stars

out of all the toys my daughters got for christmas, this has by far been their favorite! It has so many cool tools to use!

I think to push the playdoh out of the head is much easier than trying to push it out of the regular fun factory. It is a little harder to clean, but so far the playdoh doesn't stick inside, so it comes right out once I get it going.

This is definately going to be one of the gifts I give out for birthdays from now on!!! I highly recommend!!!!!
