Parents are racing to Argos to snap up a Play-Doh set that offers a perfect alternative to real ice cream, especially after a summer of sweet treats. The Play-Doh Rainbow Ice Cream Playset lets children create their own pretend ice cream, and with a clever cashback deal, some shoppers can get it for just £3.33.
How the Deal Works
Argos is currently selling the playset for £20, but TopCashback is offering new customers who are also new to Argos the chance to get it for £3.33 after cashback. Existing Argos customers who are new to TopCashback can get it for £4.92 after cashback. The cashback is £15 when you spend £15 or more.
What's in the Set
The playset includes a machine that children fill with Play-Doh to create pretend ice cream. The cup spins and swirls the Play-Doh as it's dispensed, and the finished treat can be topped with star-shaped sprinkles. The set also includes moulds for making cookies, fruits, pretzels, and sweet cups, plus seven accessories including a spoon, knife, cone, cup, and sprinkle scoop.
Shoppers' Reviews
Shoppers have awarded the set 4.6 stars at Argos. One happy customer said: "I bought this for our friends daughter and she loved it! She loves creative things over dolls/barbies etc so it made the perfect gift. It had 30% off too which was a bonus." Another added: "Bought this for my 3-year-old who absolutely loved it, my 8 and 9-year-olds both enjoyed playing with it too, very pleased."
However, some noted issues. One customer said: "Child loved this item but Play-Doh quickly merged into a a brown colour during first use. Could do with larger pots of playdoh for the illusion to last longer." Another mentioned: "One problem, it is possible to push tiny fingers up the extruder exit and potential injury if some one else pushes the lever down. This actually happened to us as he was trying to catch the playdoh coming out. There was an adult supervising too."
