Play-doh Touch Shape to Life Studio Review

amomentwithfranca · 17 July 2019 · 23 Comments

My girls are big fans of Play-doh. They love making their own creations with the different colours and have loved reviewing some of the Play-doh sets we have received in the past. So when we had the chance to try out the Play-doh Touch Shape To Life Studio, I knew they would love this too. Initially, I was a little worried Sienna might be too young for it as we got this set when she was 3 years old.

The Play-doh Touch Shape to Life Studio is an amazing new way to create new worlds and characters by fusing your physical Play-doh creations to an interactive world via an app. To do this you simply need to download the Play-doh Touch app to your phone/tablet. You then use the app to take pictures of your creations to upload to the app and create a whole new world for your new characters.

We found it really easy to set up and the girls were both off making their creations within minutes. You get 7 tubs of play-doh with the set to get you started and 19 associated tools and cutters to help make your new shapes for the app. You also get 10 digital stampers to create your characters.

They are really chunky and easy to use. You start by making sure you have rolled out your Play-doh so you can make your character with one of the colours. This needs to be done on the station ready for you to snap it into the app. Once you have one removed it from the stamper on the station you can then give it some eyes or other features.

We made some cute little creatures to scan onto the app. It is so easy to do too. Just hold the phone/tablet over your creation on the station and take a picture to upload it into the world inside the app. You do need to make sure it is in the centre though. You can make as many or as few as you like as when you have added them to the app, they stay there for you come back and play with at another time. This is such a great feature as it means you can put the Play-doh away when you have finished with it.

This really captured the girl’s imaginations and Sienna especially loved being able to check her characters on the app again and again. They played with it for so long it was great to see them getting really involved in what they were doing. you can play for a while within the app as you explore different worlds and things to the world by using the shape cutters and adding in different colours too.

Personally, I think this is more suitable for younger children as it really will capture their imaginations and help them become more creative with the Play-doh. Bella loved getting involved too but some older kids might not find this keeps their attention for so long.

The Play-doh Touch Shape to Life Studio is a great toy and perfect for any Play-doh loving child young or old. It was definitely a hit in this house! If you would like to buy the Play-doh Touch Shape to Life Studio you can get it from Amazon.

Do your kids love playing with Play-doh? Have you heard of this set before?

Love you all ❤️

    My boys loved to play with Play-doh when they were little. Too bad they didn’t have this set then — they would have gone crazy!!!

    I dislike play-doh personally, I don’t like the feeling of it one my hands. And I think Snappy is going to be like me in that regard. Which is a shame, cause I don’t even have a carpet downstairs for him to ruin! They look like they had so much fun. #kcacols

✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went t ✨ Cat Cafe In London✨.📍Bella and I went to @javawhiskersuk , a cat cafe located in @westfieldlondon . This was my present for Mother’s Day from her🌸.🌟 Before we went inside, we had to go to a separate room to wash our hands and remove our shoes..🐾 They have 2 different rooms: the Cat Lounge and the Kitten Lounge and you can choose to stay from 55 mins to 1hr 55 mins. The prices vary depending on the room you choose and the length of time..🍰 When we stepped inside the room we were greeted by a group of gorgeous kittens. We ordered (before we went inside the room) a latte and a delicious chocolate muffin with chocolate melted inside that was so good. This was served to us in the room while we were surrounded by these adorable kittens..🐱 We spent 55 mins playing and petting the kittens. They were so cute. We loved interacting with them..🥰 Their cafe is also a foster home for homeless cats so if you are looking to adopt one, this is the place to visit! They have had 230 successful adoptions already! 🙌🏻.🚨 The only downside is that you have to be over 10 years old in order to be allowed inside the rooms 😬.🐈 If you are a cat lover like us, I highly recommend you visit Java Whiskers! It is the perfect place to unwind and relax with these beautiful kittens! 🙌🏻.Have you visited a Cat Cafe before? 🐈‍⬛ .#javawhiskers #catcafe #catcafelondon #londoncafe #westfieldlondon #londondayout #daysout #thingstodoinlondon #newplaces #londonguide #lovecats😻 #catsofinstagram #catloversday #londonthingstodo #whatsonlondon
✨ Happy Mother's Day✨.If you are in the UK, ✨ Happy Mother's Day✨.If you are in the UK, I hope you are having a lovely Mother's Day! 🌸🌸.We actually started the celebrations yesterday as Bella took me to @javawhiskersuk a new cat cafe in Westfield as a present for Mother’s Day. We spent 55 mins arround gorgeous kittens. I had a great time! I am a cat lover so this was a fab present for me! I will talk more about this experience on another post but if you swipe left you can see a little peak of our time there! 🐈😉.Today, the girls and Nick took me for the actually Mother’s Day celebration 🎉 to @cafejackss in Queen’s Park where we had brunch. It was a yummy treat. Swipe left to check it out! 😋 .After that we went for a walk. There was a small market nearby so it was nice to have a little look around 😍. We then went back home and spent the rest of the day chilling which is something, I’m not going to lie, I love doing! 😉😂.How was your day?#mothersdayuk #mothersdayweekend #mothersday2023 #motherofdaughters #mumoftwo #mumofgirls #mydaughters #lovemydaughters #daughterslove #mummydaughtertime #daughtersarethebest #daughtersrock #spendingtimetogether #happyfamilytime #familytime💕
✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna ✨My Girls✨.Due to the strikes we had Sienna at home yesterday and today, and Bella only today. I thought it would be very chaotic but despite it always being louder when the girls are at home, especially my youngest one, lol, we did well..Bella did school work at home today and had the afternoon free. Sienna didn’t do school work. We only asked her to carry on doing Spanish and Maths via Duolingo. She also had Spanish lessons this afternoon (every Thursday she has lessons) so both days were manageable thankfully 😍.How was it for you? Did your kids stay at home or did they go to school? .PS: let’s hope things get better for teachers. I fully support the strikes. .#sistertime #sisterlylove #sistersgoals #hermanas #sistersforever #sistersforlife #sisterslove #siblingslove #lovemydaughters #raisingdaughters #mydaughters #londonkids #WembleyPark #wembley #londondesigneroutlet
✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so ✨Happy Weekend✨.How is your weekend going so far? I am finally feeling more normal after the massive jetlag I had after my trip to South America. I am not sure why it hit me so much this time but it has taken me about two solid weeks to properly be back to my routine without feeling right. Waking up in the mornings was the worst. It was very hard, especially when I had to be on time for the school run! 😩.Anyway, everything feels better now! 😊.How long does it take you to be back to normal after a jetlag? Do you have any tricks or tips to speed this process? .📸 Selfy taken in Barranco, a lively district in Peru considered to be one of the most romantic and bohemian places to visit and being the home and working place of many Peruvian artists, musicians, designers, photographers among others 😎.#thisisme #selfie #instaselfie #smilemore #brunettehair #greeneyes #over40#over40blogger #overforty #overfortystyle #over40andfabulous #over40mom #outandabout #barrancolima
