Are you ready for a totally unique Play-Doh experience? This pack includes five unusual Play-Doh varieties that are weird, odd, and strangely satisfying to squeeze and manipulate.

This is an excellent choice to explore some sensory play. You can still use it to create shapes, but the real fun is in examining how unusual and different each variety feels.

Here’s a quick description of each type:

• Slime: Stretchy and sticky, like traditional slime but with a shiny finish. It’s not able to hold its shape when used in molds.
• Super cloud: Similar to slime but with a much thicker consistency. Still not able to hold its shape within a mold.
• Krackle: An addictively fun substance that crackles and pops as you massage it between your hands. It turns clear when stretched out. Mix the two colors together for a fun blend.
• Super stretch: They weren’t kidding when they called this super stretch. This stuff can stretch across the whole table! It’s real smooth and can be shaped with molds.
• Foam: This substance is fairly dry and is incredibly satisfying to squish between your hands. It can also be molded into shapes.
