I picked up the Play-doh Mr. Potato Head playset for my daughter Ally, age 5, on a whim. But this is a great Play-doh toy.

The set comes with everything you need to make two small Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads. There’s brown, red, black and white Play-doh; molds to make eyes, noses, mouths and hair; and arms and shoes.

I’ve found that Play-doh toys often look like fun, but they aren’t realistic about what a young child can make with them. But this set is very fun and easy to use. Ally and I have made some great Mr. and Mrs. Potato Heads together. And I have to say, our creations might actually be better than the ones they show on the box!

It’s easy for Ally to put Play-doh in the molds and create different features and hairstyles for her Potato Head. And of course, the arms and shoes just stick right into the Play-doh potato.

The toy is recommended for ages 3 and up but I would say, ages 5 and older would be the best recommendation for being able to use the toy and make the best creations from it.
