Play Doh Sushi

A couple of years ago, during a trip to Japan, we visited the Tokyu Hands department store in Japan. I love Tokyu Hands. It's a cross between a hardware store, Target, sports store and clothing store. I love the entire floor devoted to stationery and pens.

While we were there, we found an amazing selection of Play Doh molds. At the time, CJ was in preschoool, so we bought some molds for making hamburgers and hotdogs. We also bought a set of molds for making sushi.

The molds sat in CJ's play doh kit until a few weeks ago when CJ's got interested in play doh again. So over the past few weeks, we have been busy making play doh sushi. Check out the results.


The molds are great. We can make salmon, shrimp, salmon roe, rice balls, octopus, etc. We are having a ball making custom colors so that we can make sushi that looks more like the real thing.

The problem is: I don't know where I'm going to put all the finished product. We've let a bunch of our creations harden and they're now on display in our kitchen. But we've made a bunch more than you see in the photo above. Maybe we'll send play doh sushi to the grandparents for Christmas. :-)
