Play-doh Magic Swirl
Play-doh Magic Swirl is a fun toy for kids over four years old. Kids like the many forms you can use to make ice cream-like objects and have a lot of fun playing waiter for hours on end. My kids made up menus and served us ice creams over and over. The play-doh colors are vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, and something like sprinkles. The machine part is the lever that pushes the play-doh into a soft-serve swirl. Smaller devices to the side make it easy to make “sprinkles” and gloppy “whipped cream.” Dads, even, will enjoy playing with this for a few minutes since it’s pretty captivating how play-doh can be manipulated into miniature, yet “life-like” forms.
Unfortunately, the setup does not fold back up so once it’s out of the box, it’s hard to put away neatly. This is unfortunate since it’s hard to really clean all the little bits of play-doh off it, and it does eventually shed a lot of play-doh crumbs all around its environs.
All in all, though, a fun toy for around $15, and good for amusing little kids, albeit with a fair amount of adult supervision.
Note from my daughter: I’ m eight and I like it. I think it is fun but over time it gets a little messy. The only problems I have with it are that my brother messes up the colors and also you can’ t clean it out.
