Play-Doh Super Color Pack: 20 tubs of dough in 20 colours, 1.68 kg in total

The Play-Doh Super Color Pack is a big supply of classic Play-Doh. The box holds 20 tubs in 20 different colours, each containing 84 g according to Hasbro, for 1.68 kg in total. There are no tools or moulds included – this is all about the dough itself.

That makes it a good starter set when kids are just getting into Play-Doh, or a refill for existing Play-Doh playsets whose included dough runs out quickly. With so many colours, children can make figures, rainbows or pretend food without constantly mixing shades, though of course they can still blend their own. Hasbro also suggests it for classroom activities.

The tubs can be resealed after play, and the box with its carry handle doubles as storage. Hasbro recommends it for ages 2 and up.

Worth knowing: according to the manufacturer the dough contains wheat, which matters if anyone in the family needs to avoid gluten. Play-Doh dries out if the tubs are left open, so put the lids back on straight after playing. It can leave residue on carpets and fabrics, so a wipeable mat is a good idea. The colours in the set may differ from the product photos. Moulds, rollers and cutters are only available separately.
