Sharing the classic toys and games you played as kids with your children fill a special place in your heart. It’s because we also get to reminisce our younger years. One of my favorite things to do was to pretend cook with my PLAY-DOH cans. My specialty back then was “chop meat”. I’m still not sure where I came up with that but I could remember telling my mom that’s what I was making.
In celebration of its 60th birthday, the PLAY-DOH brand released a new line, PLAY-DOH Town with entirely new colorful, creatable, and makeable adventures. I think I was more excited to play with this iconic childhood staple than my princes to sit and start playing! Each PLAY-DOH Town comes with customizable figures with town themed buildings and vehicles. I was ready to start building our town and to create a story that would be picture perfect. Then again I forgot I was playing with boys. I dumped the PLAY-DOH cans and started putting together the town thinking the boys would sit and wait for me to organize everything. The boys had a different idea, as soon as they got their fingers into this smushy goodness, there was PLAY-DOH compound everywhere. All I could do was join in (after getting my buildings up of course). I tried again to get a little organization in and this time I went through each building and press to show them the different things we could make. This is when their imaginations kicked in full gear! That’s full “boy gear”!
PLAY-DOH TOWN FIREHOUSE Playset (Ages 3 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $19.99)
We pressed lots of fire. The flames were super cool and we needed a lot! We only put out some of the fires because we had to be able to cook too! (makes perfect sense)
Prince worked on the Firehouse and little prince took over the Pet Shop. When I was young, I remember making dinners, hair styles, flowers, and everything pretty. The boys thought it was totally awesome to make rainbow colored brains. When building a brain, you must take your time and use ever color. (makes perfect sense)
Making pretend ice cream goes along with pretend names- like flavor dogawaga (ewww)
We also started operating on the brains and little pets made of PLAY-DOH compound would come visit and little prince’s favorite figure was the fire dog that he could make poop. That’s right the fire dog pooped….blue! (insert giggles!!)
PLAY-DOH TOWN ICE CREAM TRUCK Playset (Ages 3 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $14.99)
The patient also needed ice cream (from the ice cream truck), so when I showed the boys my perfect pressed ice cream, they thought it was so cool.
They were so surprised of all the different presses and we then needed to make two of each one (which were a lot). Thankfully each town came with plenty of PLAY-DOH cans. We created fire scenes and put it out with red, orange, and green water shooting out of the water cannon and hydrant. We had crazy hair styles and our fire person has a mohawk! 
The 60th birthday celebrations will culminate on World PLAY-DOH Day on September 16. This is the perfect day to pick up a playset or can of compound and squish, mold, and explore the fun sculpting possibilities! The PLAY-DOH brand is opened the gates to an entirely new world of play with PLAY-DOH Town!
PLAY-DOH TOWN PET STORE Playset (Ages 3 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $14.99)
Little prince stamped out pets using molds from around the store including hamsters, birds, fish and bunnies. We must have made 100 bunnies and hamsters. We may not have built a town but we used our imagination and had an adventurous night! We loved all the PLAY-DOH town playsets and figures and you can build your town too!
Collect them all!
PLAY-DOH TOWN Figure Assortment (Ages 3 years & up/Approx. Retail Price: $5.99) Meet some new friends in PLAY-DOH Town! This assortment includes police and ice-cream themed figures. With the ICE CREAM figure, kids can help mold scoops of PLAY-DOH ice cream, and can use the half molds to add colorful toppings before serving them up in the cone. To gear the POLICE figure up for a day on the job, kids can put the POLICE figure’s hat onto his head, pressing out crazy colorful facial hair. The radio also doubles as a cutting tool to help slice through any PLAY-DOH obstacle! Both the ICE CREAM and POLICE figure can be teamed up with the ICE CREAM TRUCK set and the POLICE MOTORCYCLE set (both sold separately). Additional figures for painter, doctor, ballerina and fisherman will join the line in the fall.

My youngest son has sensory issues, so Play-Doh has been a big part of our lives for years now. We love it.
I love it too- I love the feel. How does it help with sensory issues?
I always loved the new cans of playdoh because when they colors mix together and become inseperable, that attacks my OCD. I can’t handle it! Great idea with the paper on the table. I always use saran wrap to peel up and toss.
Yeah I was a little OCD when I was younger but with the boys I was able to let go
That is an epic playset! My kids would have lost their minds if they’d had something like that. They used to be obsessed with Play-Doh.
How fun is this?!! Play doh really keeps getting better and more exciting! Add in a pooping element and my kids (6 and 8 are all over it).
I’ll let you in on a little secret…I’m 26, will be 27 in 3 months and I have a big kit of play doh under my bed. LOL Seriously, that stuff is a classic and timeless play toy for children and adults of ALL ages. I can’t believe they’re celebrating their 60th birthday!
Play Doh is so much fun. My kids used to be able to play with it for hours! The kids I babysit now love it too.
I used to love playing with play-doh! I love all the different molds!
My twins LOVE Play Doh. I bet they’d really love the Firehouse and the Ice Cream Truck!
What a great way to encourage creativity. I love the idea of kids creating their own little play-doh towns.
Oh my goodness! My kids would love these! I think I would really have fun with these collections.
Happy birthday to one of my favorite childhood toys! My kids still love Play-doh so I’m sure it’ll be around another 60 years!
PLAY-DOH is always a great gift idea. My kids love to play with the different sets.
You can’t go wrong with Play Doh. It enables everyone who uses it to tap into their creative sides, and I’m all for that.
What an amazing playset. My kids were huge playdoh fans and loved every set we ever had. Hours of fun
I remember playing with Playdoh as a child it was so much fun. It was even more fun playing with my kids. Looks like you and your boys had a lot of fun.
Play doh was so fun for the kids and it is a good exercise for their hands. My kids love playing this
I grew up with Play-Doh as well and I really see it as part of anyone’s childhood. I really like their recent sets and offerings, still the very same idea but they never run out of varieties and designs!
Wow, this is so nice. I am a play-doh lover and I want to give this as a gift fro my son.
