Advantages: fun play, comes in loads of colours and is cheap
Disadvantages: always ends up brown and has a tendency to go hard quick

My eldest daughter adores her soft stuff and we do on a regular basis get it out for her to play with. she has a couple of toys to "help" her cut them up and make different shapes and generally make a mess, inevitably some ends up a weird kind of brown colour (no matter what colour you started with) and some of it somehow ends up under my shoe and on my socks. I also find that it does not stay soft stuff for long if you dont get the lids on tight ... Read review

Advantages: Keeps the kids happy for hours.
Disadvantages: Can tend to get everywhere.

It's all soft and squishy and yes the kids love it . What am I talking about and no it's not there mum. It's soft stuff by ELC. It's ELC version of play dough.(doesn't smell the same though) And it's great as long as you don't mind tidying it up a mess that tend's to look like bread crumb's. And finding it in the most unusual places. But it is hour's of fun and is really great when the weather is bad and you are all stuck indoors. At ELC the ... Read review

Advantages: Keeps the kids amused and quite cheaply
Disadvantages: Can be messy

My son loves playing with his soft stuff, although it can be messy. They come in little pots with a seal that can be peeled off when first opened. Soft stuff is just modelling clay that can be modelled into different shapes. It is very cheap and comes in individual pots of different colours - either plain or shiny. You can also buy them in various packs including packs of three. There are also various accessories available with them, including ... Read review

Advantages: Keeps my daughter busy for ages
Disadvantages: After only one or two goes ita always ends up as one big blob!!

ELC call it Soft Stuff. My daughter calls it Squidgy Stuff. Whatever the name, it is a wonderful creation. It may get squashed into the carpet, walls, clothes or hair. But it keeps my three year old quiet for hours. She will quite happily sit there at the table rolling the balls of coloured dough into flat shapes and then creating all manner of wondrous things. Her imagination runs wild. her latest game is to cut it into shapes and stick ... Read review

I have recently bought this for my daughter as she loves to play with anything like this. Although its really good when you first use it I have found that it dries out quite quickly compared to other similar produsts on the market. As it is not one of the cheaper versions avavilable Im slightly disappointed and am already having to replace it after just a few uses. However she loves the glitter effect versions that they sell, although again it does seem to dry out quicker than playdoh.
