The Newest & Most Popular Play-Doh Sets To Buy This Year

The Play-Doh Factory Set is one of the best-selling Play-Doh products out there. (And quite possibly, one of the most popular toddler toys of all time.)

This machine allows kids to press their Play-Doh Molding Compound into fun and unique shapes while also giving them the chance to blend colors in awesome ways. Now, all the fun of the Play-Doh factory can be immediately amplified with the Deluxe Factory Kit.

The kit includes the original Factory toy as well as a 30+ piece collection of different shapes, molds, and templates. There is literally no limit to what your kid can create with these awesome tools.

It seems like they are always coming up with new and exciting ways to use Play-Doh, and why not? It happens to be one of the most free-form toys that you can buy and allows the child to do just about whatever they want with it. 

Now, kids have the opportunity to try their hand at dentistry and orthodontics with the Play-Doh Doctor Drill ‘N Fill Set. This cartoony playset includes a man with big teeth that can be cleaned, drilled, inspected, and finally, fixed with Play-Doh braces using the accompanying molds and squirt dispenser.

It doesn’t matter if your kid hasn’t expressed any interest in playing dentist. This is a fun, unique set that is sure to provide lasting entertainment worth well more than the few dollars that it costs.

This is one of the more innovative Play-Doh kits that we have seen this year, and we can only expect that it is going to be one of the more popular gift options for this holiday season. The Buzz ‘N Cut Fuzzy Pumper Barber Shop gives kids the incredible opportunity to become a Play-Doh Barber, both growing and trimming the hair on a silly figurine. 

Pack the chamber, crank the lever, and streams of brightly colored Play-Doh hair will come streaming out of the head. Then, your kid can use either the safety scissors or trimmer to cut the hair down to size. The boy model even includes a beard!

Kids as young as three are going to love the Gravel Yard Construction Toy Set, which gives them control of their very own gravel and pavement company. First, the special edition pavement-colored Play-Doh goes into the hand-crank grinder, where it will be broken down into gravel-like chunks.

From there, it falls into the back of a big green dump truck, where it can be transported to the work site. Finally, a steamroller can come along and squish the Play-Doh down into a flat road surface. The only thing missing is a group of 3 or 4 figurines to stand around and ‘supervise,’ but we’re guessing that your kid might just have a few action figures lying around that could do the trick.

If you are one of the many parents out there who seem to be on a mission to turn their kids into young foodies, then this is the kit for you. This set of molds, shapes, texture rollers, and Doh containers is the perfect way to create pretend sweets and treats.

There’s everything from a tri-color popsicle to a bowl of freeze-dried ice cream. There is also a delicious-looking waffle cone base to make ice cream cones with as many scoops as your child’s heart desires. While this kit works great on its own, it is also a good way to beef up any holiday Play-Doh gift or stuff those stockings.

Meet Max, one of the cutest and hardest working members of the Play-Doh village. This functioning cement truck lets kids load their raw Play-Doh Molding Compound into the back of his mixer. Closing the lid will allow Max to process the Doh into a stream of concrete, which kids can use for all sorts of purposes. 

But another thing that Max is quite good at is road making. He is equipped with a big blue steam roller that can turn the processed ‘concrete’ into smooth, lined road surfaces. If only real-life highway crews were this efficient.

Never before have kids been able to craft their own magical ponies and unicorns straight from the globally popular My Little Ponies franchise. By filling the included molds with different colored Play-Doh, kids are able to create highly customized ponies that come out of the molds looking fabulous.

Because different colors can be used for each element, this is one of the most exciting starter Play-Doh Playsets that money can buy.

The Noodle Makin’ Mania Set is another press-pump style Play-Doh Toy. But this one has a few unique features that really set it apart from the competition.
