My daughter absolutely loves to make her Play-Doh into foods- she recently made grapes in bunches, a three-tiered cake and a complete silverware set for eating them! Thanks for this chance for her to explore the world of Play-Doh even more!
My favorite memory is when my grandmother and aunt took me to town and bought me Play-doh. They made me feel special.

My kids love to use the shapes that look like cookie cutters with Play-Doh. When I was a kid, I loved the haircut shop where you could make the little figures grow Play-Doh hair and then cut it off!

Hi! I had a Play-Doh toy many years ago!
I don’t remember the name of it, but I can
remember how much fun it was. You could change
the shape disc on the front of the toy and the
Play-Doh would come out in different shapes!
It had a little plastic knife and one could
get the Doh as it came out of the machine.
Many thanks, Cindi
My kids favorite Play-Doh product is the Ice Cream Shop. They love it.
Mine love making animal shapes with the playdoh.My memory is that my mom would throw it out when she thought we were all done with it.
My sons love play-doh! I think their favorite play-doh product is the octopus set we have at home. They have their eyes on the magic swirl ice cream shoppe these days.

We have the cookie cutters/desk set. My kids love it. Plus I found some of my old Flintstones cut outs.
Making play-doh hamburgers when I was a little kid! We even made the pickles using green play-doh. I have to admit, I ate my share when I was a little kid and didn’t know any better!

all I had was the molds when I was a kid

my favorite was the play doh hair set. The little people had the holes on top their head and you made ‘hair’ that you could cut. So awesome!
My child made a funny looking dinosaur one time which she loved. I remember playing with play-doh when I was in the 1st grade.
Lil Man has just discovered Play-Doh and he LOVES it. We haven’t tried any of the fun play-doy kits but we’ve bought several cans of play-doh and dragged out the cookie cutters, plastic knives, cups, etc and we’ve made cookies and biscuits. We’ve used a rolling pin to roll it out really thin then used plastic knives to cut it in tiny ‘pasta’ strips. We’ve created colored snow people and creatures. Now we’d love to try the spaghetti factory.

My favorite Play-Doh memory is of my children having countless hours of fun making “french fries” from one of the Play-Dph sets we had, I believe it was McDonalds. They pressed out burgers too!

I always loved the “hair” playdoh toy, where you could create hair and then cut it. Repeat repeat repeat. Oh, and the dentist one was fun too, with the big mouth where you could create teeth.
Man, I love play doh. The smell is tops!

My daughter liked making bracelets.
As a kid, I made pretend food like cakes etc.
I never had any tools or anything for my play-doh as a child, just the play-doh, which is fun enough. My daughter likes the cookie cutters, but is ready for something more complex.
Thanks for the giveaway!
I have fun memories of my sister and me making disher and cups for our Barbies with Play-doh.

The kids love the cookie cutter shapes, they would pretend to make all kinds of cookies.
My son has the Magic Swirl Ice Cream Shoppe and he loved it for quite awhile. Right now he tends to use his own hands and imagination when he plays play-doh, however.
My children love play doh! My son loves to roll it out and use cookie cutters! My daughter loves to roll it out and use the scissors…she hasn’t used real scissors yet and LOVES to use the play doh ones. For hours on end, literally! Fun!

As the oldest of six kids, I was always the judge of who could make the best play-doh creation. I never let my little (and only) brother win!
My daughter had the playdough kit with the head where you could fill its teeth like a dentist would. What a riot!
My kids favorite set is some Taco Bell set that you can make tacos. They love to make food for me with it. I remember as a kid I had a hair salon that I loved to pump the people’s hair up and then chop it off.
OK – my girls are looking at your site with me and they REALLY want one of these so sign me up!
My two are small so right now they like squishing it through their fingers. When I was little I loved the playdoh barber shop. It was fun watching the hair grow and then cutting it all off and starting over again.
Play-doh helped me realize my dreams! As a young bot, my mother brought home the haircut playset, and I played with it until I was almost thirteen! I now work at a salon styling real hair! It’s actually so funny to think “If it wasn’t for Play-doh, I wouldn’t be where I am now!”
my kids love everything about it they play with it everyday. My favorite thing with playdoh when i was young was the one people or creatures that u push the hair out
My son loves to make balls from his play doh .. my fave memory was SO the spaghetti factory!!!
The ice cream shop is our fave

I am geting some foster kids shorty and this would be wonderful for them to play with.

My granddaughter loves making the “food” for her pretend grocery store with play-doh. Then she shops for the food, pretends to eat it all, and then starts all over again.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I use to love the hair cut set – you put the play doh in a head and “hair” came out the top you could cut and style.
My daughter likes to flatten the play-doh and then cut it with her play-doh scissors.

My kids love to make snakes with the play-doh.
When I was little, I had a play doh ice cream set and I loved making ice cream cones. I didn’t ever mix them to make “flavors” because I was careful not to ruin the dough so I could play for a long time. Thanks!
I loved mixing the colors together!

When I was a kid, I remember it being really hard to get the play-doh to go through the squeezer shape thingie and we’d have to stand on it. We thought that was hysterically fun.
I used to always make pretend food out of playdough…never had all the cool accesories that kids have now!
My daughter loves to make any food products. She pretends like she is the cook at a restaurant and cooks for me.
I remember making bird’s nest and eggs with my mother. Such sweet memories!!
I love play-doh in food. When I was younger we had play-doh burgers! haha
My Daughter loves all Play-doh! She goes nuts over it!
My daughter loves Play-Doh, she has the people set, where you can make them have different hair!
my daughtger and I seem to both enjoy the pounding and smashing that you can do with playdo. I loved building cars and my daughter likes making dogs.
My daughter loves mixing 2 colors and create a sort of tye dye effect with her play doh.
My favorite Play Doh memory is making my own Play Doh.
My son loves the Play Doh Octopus. Although he loves using his imagination and coming up with all kinds of things.
My daughter just loves making animals with me with just regular old Play-doh. No molds just our imaginations. When I was little I had these ugly rocket shaped people that can “grow” Play-doh hair and you could “cut” it and style it. It was fun until playdoh got in the carpet and my mom was livid! Shortly after the play set mysteriously disappeared…

My daughter makes crazy things with play doh. I think when a child can mold things together it helps with their brain development. She loves making animals.
Haha my mom let me play with Play-Doh ONCE! and it got in the carpet- needless to say that was NOT what my neat-freak mom wanted to see and she shipped it off to gramma’s who let us be kids!

my favorite Play-Doh from childhood was the little dolls you put the Play-Doh in their head and pushed it out to make hair..soo much fun!
There was this..Playdoh toy where you made fast food like creations out of playdoh. I used to love it when I was younger!
My son loves play-doh, of all the toys we have bought him, the most in-expensive and attention grabbing was the play-doh set, he has the mini-tools set and LOVES it, I personally enjoyed using play-doh in real pots and pans, when I was a kid we didnt get all the cool accessories, my mom just put the playdoh on the patio with pots and pans and let us have at it, haha
I loved my Play-Doh as a kid – I remember the little dolls where the playdoh came up out of their heads like hair! Love the smell of it too – it definately takes me back
I loved my Play-Doh! I could make anything that I want with it, cut and shape it with my kitchen set, pressure it with the Play-Doh tool, such as the extruder, etc.

The Ice Cream Shop is my families favorite.
I used to love to make dinasours out of mine.
I would press different items into the Play-Doh to make an imprint of that item.
My kids love to make flowers. As a child, I remember always getting in trouble for mixing colors.

I remember having a Play-Doh set where you insert the play-doh underneath the body and push it out through the head which had holes. I had so much fun “cutting” hair and making different hair colors!
My toddler boys use my rolling pin and cookie cutters for play dough creations. The 2 year still wants to play with my pots and pans. It’s a kitchen riot.

My child’s famous playdough birthday cake! When it is done, we have a pretend party, ofcourse!
