Crayola Dough - Yellow (3lb), Bulk Modeling Dough for Kids, Clay Alternative, Resealable Tub, Ages 3+, Great for Kids Arts & Crafts

I love getting this play doh. It’s so much easier than buying packs of all the little containers that get mixed together after the first use. I also love that my kids can easily keep it together in one big container. Best value and lasts way longer than a ton of little jars. The texture is the same as the normal playdoh. It’s a great size and very suitable for my kids ages 3-6. It only comes with one color, but I’m my option, that makes it easier for me to help my kids build their creativity without a giant mess.

Just opened. Soft and not sticky.

It's playdough. How tough can it be. Really do not like the smell being so strong. We bought it for Sunday school and the kids like it. Quite crumbly though

I have been looking for large tubs of play dough for awhile. I ordered a tub for $9 on Lakeshore's website (Lakeshore brand). It became extremely sticky on the second day of use. I thought that odd. Used more of the dough in the tub and it too, became extremely sticky the second day of use. So I tossed the entire tub (it had stuck to tables, door knobs, hands, fingers. Only came off if scraped or washed off. It was a teacher's nightmare) So I was very pleasantly surprised that this Crayola Dough did very well on multiple days of use in my Kindergarten classroom. I purchased the Yellow since it was the cheapest. I like that it's all one color in the tub, then there is no arguing among the students. It doesn't matter the color, they will be happy with it. PROs: Inexpensive (much cheaper than Lakeshore's and has Prime Shipping) Lasts for several months of use in Kindergarten classroom. Bright vivid yellow color. Great to combine with letter, number, shape cutters to make a hands-on learning center Nice Tub for storage of the dough which makes clean-up even easier Has a unique, but not unpleasant smell CONS: Unique smell, while not unpleasant to me, 2 of my students seemed repulsed by it and preferred to avoid the dough learning center. Since they are only 5 year olds, pieces of dough wind up on the floor and stepped on. Once it dries, it pops out of shoe tread on its own (which in most cases happens after the children are at home) Teacher tip: to increase fine motor skills ask children to roll out balls or skinny snakes using their fingertips (not their palms). This helps the development of muscles in their fingers which make writing/coloring/cutting easier. When it is easier for students, they experience less frustration and have more confidence in their abilities to complete school activities. In turn, it boosts their self-esteem and they enjoy school more. Sometimes the small things have a big impact.

This is decent dough for it not being playdough. Since it is not playdough you can tell the differences, some of the things that I noticed, 1. There is a heck of a smell to it but nothing that I can handle and honestly it is a mixture of the "dough itself and baby powder smell" I don't think that it smells terrible but different. All dough like this has a smell to it weather it is intentional or not. Even playdough smells funny when you first open it, but after playing with it for a while you can tell that the smell starts to not be so strong ( After playing with it for awhile meaning that you play and put it up multiples times, not just getting use to the smell of it while in play) 2. The dough itself works great. I haven't had any problems with it being crumbly, dry, or falling apart when in play. My son and I play with dough a lot and we have a lot of different brands and kinds of dough and this has held up to multiple plays. I am not sure why other people have had many problems unless they have a defective product. If you are have a problem with it becoming dry while in play you can add just a little baby oil to the mixture while playing and it won't clump anymore. 3. This product is just fine in molds to my understanding. My son and I have many different playdough tools and molds this works great for all of them. 4. The bucket is great and it seals every time that you open and close it so I don't worry about the dough drying up when you put it up until you play again. Over all I think that you would be satisfied with this product. I am very pleased and have not had any problems.

Every teacher knows bulk play dough is hard to find but the quality of this has lasted me all year. It hasn’t dried out. And the color is vibrant! It is a great value classroom purchase! And the size was wonderful for my entire classroom! Very pleasant scent and so fun!

I bought this for my kindergarten classroom. We have used it maybe 5 times and I've stored it well, with the tops on very tight. It is disgusting. The first few uses were ok---it was a little soft and sticky and difficult to clean up. But after about 5 uses (used for about 15 minutes each time), it is now a goopy mess that is sticking to my students' hands and the table and impossible to clean up quickly. I bought these (and paid more) because it is Crayola and I assumed I could trust this band. Not so. I spent $40 for 3 tubs of playdough (yellow, blue, red) and it is all repulsive and useless after 5 sessions of play. A waste of money. I should be refunded.

I bought this for my toddler class and they absolutely love it! Great quality!

Don't buy. Because this dough very bad smells. Not good quality.

This came quickly. It is soft and easy to mould and great for any age group of children. A perfect addition to my therapeutic resources. Thanks!

Yes played with this today, seems very pliable and easy to manage, does have a smell to it but nothing off putting, does rub off on your hands a little but easily washed off. So far think this is good play dough and do not regret buying it for six year old granddaughter ( and me )

The kids love this play dough, but it has a very strong smell of perfume which probably makes it toxic, so make sure your child does not eat it. Normal play dough only have food colourant in in, so this one is an unnecessary addition......I wouldn`t even say it`s a pleasant smell, so why bothered?
