Side by Side Comparison of: Rhode Island Novelty vs Play-Doh

I saw this on Amazon and these would make perfect party bag fillers!I took one out to test to see if they're any different than what I can remember from the early 2000s and they have updated the propellers.I remember the propellers used to be made out of hard brittle plastic and upon a hard crash the chances of one of the blades snapping off were high unless you landed the plane into a huge patch of grass & and not concrete.The new updated propellers are made out of a more forgiving plastic which bends easily. The only downside is flight time is reduced but durability for re-flights is drastically increased!At roughly $0.25 per plane is a great deal compared to local party stores which sell these at an average of $1-2 per plane. Definitely will keep your kids occupied for the afternoon and may lead them into the profession of being a pilot or even an astronaut!Ive included photos of the new propeller design & the trick is to leave some space between the pin and the blades to allow easy rotation without any binding.If my review was in ANY way helpful please click the "YES" button below :)

Comes in a pack of 48 gliders with 12 different styles of planes. The planes have numbers on them so you can rebuild them when they are not all together. They only took a few seconds to put together so the kids loved them. We used them as party favors for our grandson's party and they were a huge hit for elementary age children.

We buy these for all of our outdoor kids parties. You get a lot of them and they are fun for the day. They do not hold up long with little boys, but the quantity lets them build another after they bust theirs.

These are what you'd expect. Kid of cheap but do the job.

All the kids (ages 1-9) loved building these at my son's party. It was a windy day and they all held up reasonably well for the beating they took.

Great cheap toys - they do break fairly easily though. So aim for kids over 3. Don't give one of these to your 18 month old or it'll only last like a minute. Ha!

Great sizes for gift bags or include in a present, and also for your kid to play with so that when they inevitably leave it open you aren't throwing away a huge cans of Play-doh. I prefer this size to the big one because I end up not throwing away as much.

I ordered these as party favors for a nerf wars party. I also ordered some toy soldiers and hot glued them to the top. I'm going to spray paint them gold and pass them out as awards at the end of the party. The kids all love play doh even though most parents hate it!

This Party Bag of Play-Doh contains 15 one ounce cans of the beloved dough in a nice variety of colors. The color assortment is random. My bag included 4 pink, 2 purple, 2 orange, 1 dark green, 1 light green, 1 bright yellow, 1 dark yellow, 2 bright blue, & 1 dark blue. The bag came sealed air tight, presumably to keep the Play-Doh from drying out. It works. After opening one can, I learned that the dough is as fresh and soft as can be. I also love that this Party Bag comes with round stickers which perfectly fit on the lid. Each one has a different image with the words, "To:" and "From:".This will work wonderfully as party favors at my child's birthday party.

I purchased these for my daughter's 2nd birthday as party favors. Although this particular package didn't arrive, I ended up purchasing them from somewhere else and they were perfect. The containers are very small and great for goodie bags. There's enough play doh in them for kids to enjoy it without it being enough to get on parents' nerves. They come in a variety of colors, so they're great for boys and girls without having to worry about who gets what color. A novel size when you want to give a little something fun.

my toddler loves to play with this stuff so the portability of these smaller containers are wonderful. i love giving these away in lieu of candy for daycare and birthday parties. another plus is that they have an amazing shelf life. i bought several packages to give out for halloween long before i had kids and just recently came upon some unopened bags and they're STILL good! whenever the price is right, i just stockpile them because they're pretty much the perfect toy.

I purchased these, along with a few other items, to put in my son's goodie bags for his class Christmas party. The kids were more excited to play with these little containers of play-doh than to do any of the games or crafts that we had planned for the party. I can't say I'm surprised because play-doh is AWESOME, but in all seriousness, this pack of 15 small play-doh containers is perfect for a class party or to put in birthday goodie bags. They would even make great stocking stuffers! I did appreciate the little label "To/From" stickers so you could put them on the lid, but I didn't use them since they were definitely more "birthday-like" than Christmas-like. I really enjoyed these and the kids loved them, so I definitely recommend them.

The planes are super fun, both my 5 and 8-year old had a blast. The downside is they break fast, some even while putting them together. I ordered these for classroom goody bags. Unfortunately I ordered 48 but only received 24, so I didn't end up using them for that, because I didn't have enough, but I have no doubt the kids would have liked them. At least my own kids got to have fun...

Gliders are thin foam toys and last in air for a quite period of time. Gliders have a front fan that swirls while flying. Younger children will need help with assembly, but it takes no time to put them together. And even after getting beat up, they still fly pretty well! Loads of fun for my kids and I.I used it outdoor with my daughter. You get a lot of them and they are pretty durable. It holds long for us (my daughter is 1 year only.) and the total quantity will last for a year.

Fun for everyone! Some of the propellers are not able to fit in the hole. They still work great!

Brightly colored, a hit with the kids. Very flimsy, doesn't fly straight. Cute party favor, but definitely not for the paper airplane enthusiast! Would order again for a child's party favor.

Good size and quality for the price. True 8 inches. Individually wrapped with construction instructions. Would buy again.

It's nice and fun. Easy to put together. It does have small part so not good for little one that still put things in their mouth

Can't get my kids to put them down.They like playing with the small tubs almost as much as the playdoh.You should really make sure you put these in a place that can be tracked. We find them in everything... couch, chairs, closets, lol... everywhere

I used these as party favors for my three year old's birthday party. The kids were all so excited to see the playdough in their goodie bags, more so than anything else in there. However, I felt that this was a bit overpriced and the playdough is such a small quantity that I'm not sure how they can be played with. The four stars are for the reactions I got from every kid.

I used these for a Valentine's Day card for my toddler's daycare class (a-doh-rable). I'm including a picture so you can see the assortment of colors I received. Some neons (and repeats) and some primary colors. The Play-Doh seemed fresh!

These lids are ridiculous to get off. My skin is officially thickened to condition it for the repeated "can you open this." We love play doh, but by the time its been practically played with until dry and ready to toss is about the same time when the kids can open the loosened lids by themselves. Not bad buy all in all. Target has off brand 4 for dollar in dollar section that provide more dough, with a molded easy to remove lid in 4 colors, and around easter 4 new colors. Because of the variety in colors I'd still buy again. Just. ...its very little play dough. Ok for small hands but I still end up opening two per kid. So I'd imagine you should give two per loot bag for partyware

Too many of the same color but perfect for adults and children at a birthday party. Everyone got one container. Then they mixed and matched colors with neighbors. Used square paper picnic plates to create "pictures" in a frame. Just enough dough in the container to create a small creature about 2 by 3 inches and 1/8th inch thick.

I ordered these for goody bags for my daughter's classmates, dance class members, gymnastics class members and her playmates. I love that these are tiny cans of play doh, they are perfect for giving to kids, not too big or bulky. The size would also accomodate a mom's purse, if need be. The one thing reason why I deducted a star is because each bag is suppose to have 15 cans and one of my bags only had 14. Initially, I thought that I had opened it or maybe the nanny, but as I inspected the bag, it had not been opened or unsealed in any manner and was short one little can of the play doh.

not bad as party favor.

ok ok product -but it is cheaper

These planes were very cute and a big hit at my son's party. However, some of the pieces (mainly the propellers) didn't fit well, making assembly challenging. Also, pretty much every plane broke after several minutes of play.

Good party favors. Cheap and flimsy , however

Not the best. Some of the propellers won't fit into the hole, making them useless. When trying to assemble, even when taking care, the plane bends, so it doesn't fly well. Even those that assemble easily and perfectly don't last more than a few throws. All that said the kids liked them. Perfect for a one time play day. Party favors or picnic activity.

I'm sure the planes are just as fun as I remember when I was a kid. Though, I'm still a kid at heart despite being 43. What bothered me about this product was that when my daughter and I opened the main packaging we were a bit disappointed to find out that there were only six designs with four on each design. I was hoping the package would have at least eight or maybe even twelve different planes to choose from. With what is pictured here on Amazon's site we received just two maybe three of those particular planes. The other designs are fine. It won't matter to my daughter. She'll have a blast with them no matter what they look like. I just felt a little mislead.

Love the packaging, perfect for parties and kids favor bags etc. However, the consistency of the play-doh was stickier and more wet than standard Play-doh. It sticks to your fingers and the table and was a mess to clean up, which is not normal for Play-doh brand. Not sure if it is made differently because of the small size or if it was due to other factors. I purchased several bags and all of them had this issue. I used these for Valentine's and felt bad afterwards - I hope no other parents had to deal with a mess!

The best for small hands

Delivered as shown and they are convenient for small gift. My only complaint is that I shop Amazon all the time thinking they have the best price but today I saw the same pack for $6.09 from Target.

Nice size for goody bags, but the smell. I suspect that if you prepare the bags ahead of time and stick these little Play-Doughs in them, the Play-Dough smell will permeate everything inside the bag; their smell is quite strong. I will leave them out until the last minute.

not any cheaper then in the store. Only bought it because I was purchasing a bunch of other things. Would be good for kids goodie bags for parties or Easter baskets like I did.

This is Play-Doh in a small can. I got a good assortment of colors (I think there were 9 different colors in my bag). The Play-Doh itself is as expected, a good product. The cans are very difficult to open and hurt my hands. My husband has the same problem. I cringe when my daughter pulls these out because of this.

These are poorly constructed and nowhere as good as when we were kids. Pieces were bent, plastic parts don't stay in place, planes fly straight down and hit the ground

My son (age 10) didn't find them entertaining.... would not recommend it

Ehh, not the old school planes I used to get from the icecream trucks back in the day. I'll give em one more try but if I can't get them to fly, I'm not tossing them in the kids bday goody bags. They look really cool though so I guess if they can't fly them they can pretend.

Cheeply made, hard for little ones to make. Propeller very hard to put on. Would not buy again.

These were cheap to purchase and cheaply made. They didn't fly very well. They reminded me of the planes from my youth and while the patterns may have been similar I was pretty disappointed with their function.

I purchased these for my godson after we had loads of fun with similar (I thought) planes from Old Navy. These are vastly inferior to those.The planes were too floppy to stand up to more than a few flights. The pieces fit together in a "non-aerodynamic" way...basically they hardly flew at all. And they are smaller than the ones I liked from Old Navy.I give it 2 stars only because we received so many for the price.

Good product. My 2 year old gets to open a new container every few days and I throw the old away. Although, it's cheaper at the grocery store for this 15 pack so I give it only 2 stars for that.

These are very difficult to open!

The kids were generally not that excited about such a small amount of play-doh. Some even forgot and left them behind. I don't think I'll get this again.Our party was outside at a playground though, so there were lots of more exciting things to do than sit and sculpt.

I have a lot of problems with these.1. My 24 pack only came with 12 and I didn’t realize until they were all put together or I would’ve returned.2. The pin that holds the propellor on 2 of the 12 were too big for the hole. I had to cut them to fit.3. One plane didn’t have a propellor or pin included in the package at all.4. The numbers for the pieces (which aren’t even needed for any person with a little bit of intelligence) and “MADE IN CHINA” (like there was any doubt considering the quality 🙄) are printed way too prominent on the planes.Overall, I wouldn’t purchase again since there are so many other options. They need some QC!

well I paid for 48 and got 24.hey my lucky day.it seams these things from china you never know what you are going to get..i just wish I could get what I paid for

Impossible to get the nose attached to the body with damaging it. Looking for a novelty party favor? Keep looking.

Looked nice but a good amount of them were either bent or were missing a piece (either tail, wings, or nose clip). The ones with everything didn't fly well - disappointed overall

Don't work well Id skip them.

These planes are junk. They are paper covered foam. They used to be just printed on the foam and the originals flew great. These have horrible colors and look nothing like the profile of the plane it is supposed to be depicting nor do they fly well. The colors are bright red, green, and yellow. It was a big disappointment Don't waste your money.

Never received play doh

This is overpriced. I bought the same thing at TJ Maxx today for $4.99

Fictional.

Very disappointing, these are very small. And you get much better looking ones with the cup cake paper cups as a set at most dollar stores. I'm also annoyed that it showed as being prime when I bought but now wants to charge me for shipping if I return.

I had to use a screwdriver to open these little cans of play doh. I was going to have my students use them for learning, but if they cant open them, what's the use? Very frustrating!!! Boo, play doh!

Never received the package. Contacted Amazon and I was very happy that they solved the issue by reimbursing right away. However, these items were for a birthday party and I had to go through the trouble of trying to get everything in many other places. What a hassle! Will not buy from this seller again
