Do 6 year olds still play with play doh?

[Anonymous]

Play-Doh is fine--my almost 7yo still enjoys it--but I do think the average 6yo has moved past Paw Patrol/Octoanuts/PJ Masks and squarely into Ninjago (ugh!), Lego, Star Wars, superheroes, etc. So it may depend on the theme of the party--the Play-Doh on its own won't be babyish, but if it's a themed set of something many kids have outgrown, then it could be iffy.

My child loves the Star Wars, superhero, and especially the food sets, though--he would be excited to find one of those in a goody bag.

The theme is minions.

Mine might, but honestly we have so much of it I really don't want any more. Its a good idea but those things get put away/donated and not used.

Yes but he has a younger brother. They enjoy it together and use it as part of other games like making me "food" in restaurant.

Agree with PPs that it's a mess but oh well.

I mean most things in goody bags are not items that parents "want"...

My seven year old loves it!

OP’s kid is probably 12 now. Why did we revive this?

If you want to give a creative thing like that, you could try an "older version" of playdough:
modeling clay. iT comes in lots of different colors and is fun, but a bit harder to use so is really good for their fine motor (not that you'd tell the kids that!)
