My little one had so much fun with the sensory dough box! He loves the bright colors and thinks the scents are amazing. We had fun making this together!

My 3 year old enjoyed putting everything into the bowl but it required too much stirring and he lost interest. The dough itself was hard for him to minupulate and even adding water as suggested didn't help much. I added a little water at a time and then it just became goo-like. I like the idea of incorporating smell in the dough though!

This was fun came out a bit dry but love that there were suggestions in the instructions to remedy this. The smells didn’t come through too well though. They are very faint. They kit was amazing and had absolutely everything. I did this activity with 2 2 year olds and they loved it!!!

My 3y girl loved working with her hands. She did all colors separate and then made a rainbow by mixing them all. It was such a fun way to explore smells, texture and colors.
