I bought these to go with a bunch of homemade play-doh for my daughter's 4th birthday. I was a little skeptical, paying $8 for a few small plastic toys, but went ahead because of the reviews. They are really nice. Large in size (about 7-8 inches long), and pretty sturdy, they work great with the dough. My daughter is higher-energy, and is rough on her things, but so far, so good with these tools!
