Play-Doh ~ Poppin' Movie Snacks *Review*

Play-Doh LogoMost summer days, in our part of the country, start of with a clear, beautiful sky and warm temperatures. However, it is not uncommon for our afternoons to be filled with several passing thunderstorms. So, what is a little one to do when stuck inside because of the rain? Get creative with Play-Doh, of course!
Poppin' Movie Snacks SetGrowing up, Play-Doh was one of my favorite things. So, I was excited to learn that Princess P was going to get a chance to experience the fun when we were sent the Play-Doh Poppin' Movie Snacks set to review. When it arrived, I took note of the 3+ age recommendation, but figured it would be fine since I was close by.
Play-Doh Picture 1I opened the set and arranged all of the pieces on the kitchen table. Then, I called Princess P into the room and got ready for the fun to begin. P immediately reached for the array of colors and started pushing the Play-Doh into the food shaped molds. At first, I was worried about her mixing the colors, but then I realized it was inevitable. So, I just let her do her thing and have fun.
Play-Doh Picture 2Of course, being the Play-Doh lover that I am, I had to get in on the fun! I showed P how to place the Play-Doh in the popcorn maker and push on the leaver to make "popcorn". I was amazed at how close to the real thing it actually looked. After making a whole batch of popcorn, we switched over to the candy and fry maker. I placed some yellow Play-Doh in the slot and showed P how to press on the leaver to make the "fries" come out. After making several fries, Princess P wanted to make something with the red Play-Doh. I placed the Play-Doh in the slot and pressed down to make several fun shapes. It was so funny to watch her expression when the shapes appeared.
Play-Doh Picture 3The only problem we experienced with the Play-Doh Poppin' Movie Snacks set was that some Play-Doh got stuck in the candy and fry maker and was hard to get out. This resulted in multi-colored fries and candy, but hey, it looked pretty cool. Other than that, the Play-Doh Poppin' Movie Snacks set is super fun and a great activity for those rainy days.

Buy it: The Play-Doh Poppin' Movie Snacks set is available at the Hasbro Toy Shop for $12.99
