We expect shortly before Christmas friends with children. We wanted the two surprise each with a little something. After some back and forth we decided on the 3-year-old for this clay. Plasticine's always a classic. After unpacking we could then spend hours kneading worms with the little ones who had mega fun with the play dough. The Play-Doh modeling clay has plus the advantage of being out of the cup is just beautiful supple and immediately makes good kneading. The smell of clay gave off a whiff childhood. The cups are also good, so the dough is nice and fresh.
