Play-Doh holiday advent calendar, 24 cans, 28 tools and playmat

About this product

Twenty-four doors open onto 24 cans of Play-Doh modelling compound (680 g in total) and 28 tools, with 4 cards in the mix. The surprises include mini cans, cutters and stamps. The colours listed are blue, red, green and purple.

An unfolding playmat doubles as a backdrop for scenes during the countdown, and the description says it keeps small pieces together. The box measures 6.7 x 38.1 x 33 cm. The age range is 3 and up, and the set is listed for indoor use. More colours and tools can be bought separately, and no assembly is needed.

What to use it for

Unfold the playmat on a table, then shape each day’s compound with the cutters and stamps. Scenes can grow through the month as new pieces arrive.

Care and safety

Wipe cutters and stamps with a damp cloth, and keep each colour in its own can so they stay clean. Compound left uncovered dries out, so close every can after use.
