Rachel, Yardley Wood, Birmingham , “Tired expectant mum!”

Score 8.0/10

+ Keeps my 3-year-old daughter entertained for well over an hour. She loves playdoh anyway (and ice-cream!) and to make the "ice-cream" come swirling out of the machine herself, just the same as off the ice-cream van just thrills her! Would definitely recommend this product.

- Little tedious dismantline to put away in original box each time used. Recommend buying a cheap plastic box with lid which we have, then you can put it away still assembled.

+ This item is great fun and we spend hours making ice cream sundaes for everyone!

- The swirl maker is hard to use (impossible for a three year old) and the Playdoh squeezes out of the side when you are using it. Also, it is very hard to keep the Playdoh colours separate so you soon end up buying more when you end up with a big brown mess!!

Score 9.0/10

+ Fun play toy for children. is multi sensory and develops creativity and imagination. can be played with other children.

- could be supplied with tubs that close more securely and easily for children to prevent doh drying out.

+ My niece and nephew spent hours making the family ice creams, my niece is 3 and it did require some adult assistance but she loved it.

- The base needs to be held down by an adult as otherwise it moves around and lifts up when pressing the play doh through the various holes - some strength was needed to push the play doh through.

+ Great fun - my son loves to make ice cream sundaes with sprinkles on top. Hours of entertainment.

- From my point of view it is very difficult to clean and almost impossible to keep the colours separate but is worth the hassle because my son loves it so much!

+ The children love playing at making pretend ice-creams.

- The play-doh does squidge out of the side of the plunger part, but it's not too bad and the children don't care!

+ My daughter loved this (she is 6yrs) and had great fun showing her 3yr old brother how to make different ice creams. They spent ages playing with it and we all were served and presented with beautiful 'ice-doh'! Lots to do and great fun to be had!

- None, just make sure you have a sheet or mat down to catch any stary bits of doh.

Score 9.0/10

+ good value for money, great for creative play

- the playdoh squahes out the sides of the central section so hard to get a good swirl of icecream and can be difficult for small hands to operate but overall my 4yr old says it is the best present ever!
