Great for Pretend Play

My son was very into Top Wing when he was 4 years old and asked for Top Wing toys. Since he has the tendency to move on to another favorite show and forget about the old toys, I didn't want to spend a lot of money. But, I also knew he wouldn't be happy with only one or two characters. This Play-doh set was the perfect find to make both of us happy.

The set includes the four main characters and their vehicles, plus five of the 2 ounce containers of Play-doh and a Top Wing badge stamper. The Flash Wing opens up to make a 3-D mold of Swift, but the bottom has stamps of Cheep and Chirp! Each of the other vehicles has a stamp on the bottom to make its corresponding Top Wing character, although it would have been nice to have some additional character stamps rather than repeats of the main characters. The green plane works pretty well as a knife, and the pink plane can shoot a small amount of Play-doh out the front.

The combination of the characters and vehicles with Play-doh tools really enhanced my son's pretend play. He particularly liked making tracks with the car -- There is a different pattern on each wheel -- and making the mission badges.

The car is my favorite tool. It's a little bit bigger than the other vehicles, and it's a fun alternative to the other Play-doh patterning tools that we have. I'm planning on using it to do an art project making tracks in paint.
