Play - Doh Martian Matter Alien Lab Playset

 (8 customer reviews)

I have 3 young boys (ages 2,5 and 7). They all LOVE this toy (we have the full size set). We've had it for about 6-9 months and we still have gel left and none of it's ever dried out (like another person had posted). Maybe they didn't put the lids on tight or they had defective bottles. When we got this gift I actually thought it looked dumb and assumed it would be played with once and then tossed... but to my surprise the kids STILL love this after all this time! We play with it every few weeks and there is just something about it that they just fell in love with. We know at least 5 other young boys who have this and their moms say that they love it too. I highly recommend it. The reason I'm on here today is because I'm buying one as a gift for my nephew.

We have a larger set of this same stuff. My kids love it. We have had it for an entire year and have used it many times. Our bottles never have had any trouble with drying out. We are still using the original ones we got with our set and have made many aliens over 12 months. The kids will forget about the toy for a few weeks then they get it out and the martian mania starts all over again. No problems with ours.

Note that the aliens themselves do dry up if you don't keep them stored airtight. Our aliens don't ever last long because the boys like to leave them out and play with them. They shrivel up and go into the trash after a few days.

My 5 year old received this for his birthday last year and it was a big hit. The boys have made "lucky fishing lures" for their dad and uncle to take on their fishing trips. It is one of those toys that is played with for a couple of hours one day and then put in the closet and pulled out again in a few weeks and the fun starts all over again. We did not have any problems with the mud or gel except that they have used it so often that we have to order more! A great toy!
