As fun as (and less messy than) the real thing
Wasnt sure how play-doh could translate into 2-dimensions but this app does a great job engaging (and educating) my 3-year-old. Multiple games included, all cheered on by cute play-doh tubs come to life. Kids can build virtual play-doh letters and creations starting with each letter (i.e. an alligator for A) or create their own masterpieces. Easier to swap out colors (and no mess to clean) than in real life, also can be used as inspiration and pre-planning for 3-D molding. My son especially liked the letter matching game.
