Pros and cons
What we like
- Seven 4 oz cans in classic rainbow colors
- Two 2 oz cans of black and white
- Colors can be mixed to make new shades
- Suitable from age 2
What may bother
- The black and white cans are half-size and run out first
- Dough dries out if the lids are left off
- Mixed too much, the colors blend into a muddy brown
Our verdict
82 / 100Open-ended and screen-free, this is the classic way to give a toddler or preschooler something to squish and build. Nine cans cover the rainbow, with black and white to mix shades. Skip it for a child who already owns a stack of Play-Doh, or for anyone who wants guided kits.

How we score
The CTG score out of 100 is the weighted average of five criteria rated for every product: proven reliability (36%), perceived value (18%), bond and memory (18%), originality (14%) and novelty (14%). Each criterion has its own published scale, identical for every product: it rates generously, because every product in our selection is already good. The score does not depend on the guide. 60 to 69: average gift. 70 to 77: good pick. 78 to 85: safe bet. 86 to 89: favorite. 90 and above: the perfect gift, a label reserved for excellent products that customers like, one winner per occasion. In a guide, the score for the recipient combines this score with the place in the ranking. The budget is an indicative range: the exact price is shown by the store at checkout.
