This has been a WONDERFUL toy!!!!!! My now three year old has some sensory issues and playdough has been recomended to us to get her to feel different textures. Well, we purchased this set for her 2nd birthday and it was a HUGE hit. We got her to touch playdough! that was a HUGE step for her.
Also my oldest daughter (15 months older) had a blast too!!! They would sit down and play with this for a good hour which is saying a lot for young kids. I wish I knew about this when I used to teach pre-school!
