NeeDoh Dream Drop - Sensory Toy with Groovy Goo Filling - Three Random Colors - Ages 3 and Up - 3 Pack

Let us begin with the negatives, because there are some, and you should know about them going in. First of all, do not become attached to any one particular dream drop. Or Nice Cube. Pretty much any of this sort of toy. I asked the Google AI how long these last, and it said that the two ends of the spectrum are two hours to a year. If you are particularly aggressive in your treatment of this product, don't expect it to last long. Such is the nature of things, and I would say that it is a problem endemic to the nature of the manufacturing process, one which is unlikely to see resolution any time soon. These look nice, and other people will want to play with them from time to time. Sometimes small people will want to play with them. Sometimes small people do not enjoy being denied the opportunity to play with them. Sometimes small people get very upset when they don't listen to you and get these taken away from them. A fellow reviewer on this product said their child got third degree burns from one of these exploding. I think we might be missing some extra steps, such as heating the contents to high temperatures. Have you ever made candy before? Do you stick your hand inside a pot of boiling sugar? No. You don't. Dream Drops and Nice Cubes contain what amounts to sugar inside them (and apparently sometimes PVA glue). I don't think the manufacturer is particularly liable for someone microwaving one of these and having it burst on them. If your child is not smart enough to know not to do this, you as the parent should not be giving them access to this toy. There are lots of ways people can get smarter, and I don't think this particular experience is one I want for my kids. As a note, this same company makes Lava Lamps, and they specifically tell you that those things get really freaking hot. They don't warn you that Nice Cubes and Dream Drops get hot because during the envisioned act of playing with them, they do not get hot. They even market putting them in the freezer (particularly with the thing that rhymes with "ice cube"), which is the opposite of getting hot. They DO tell you not to give these to small children because the plug in the bottom might get ripped out and go down someone's gullet. As you might notice, I haven't taken any stars off for these negatives. Partly this is because a lot of things people consider negative about these are tied to a lack of information or common sense. Partly, having the knowledge that these things won't last too long shifted my expectations and I felt that it was worth the price. These things are really nice. I like squeezing them, and they feel like just about the exact right size. I suspect after I've gone through a few of them I'll be able to better understand their limitations and avoid premature failure. Until then, I plan on getting a few every month or so and rationing them out. They provide a pleasant tactile experience, and a generally innocuous avenue to stimming. They look really cute as well. I would love to see more colors in the future. My first Dream Drop lasted about a week before springing a leak, and I would like to share some observations: 1. The contents are listed as "100% Malt Extract" which I understand to mean that it is essentially sugar syrup that you SHOULD NOT EAT. It is really sticky. It does not bond much with the rubber outer shell of the Dream Drop, so once the plug has lost sealing integrity it will not magically close back up. 2. I put the gooey innards on my garden. There is some question as to whether this is a good idea or not. Next time I will strain out the sparkles. 3. I saved the rubber shell and splash. I collect dice, and can easily fit two standard-sized DND 7-dice sets inside one of these, and the splash makes an attractive base for them. IN CONCLUSION: With proper care and gentle handling, these can last awhile. Even if they do not, they help reduce stress and are a largely innocuous stimming tool that could be used as an impromptu blackjack in a pinch (which I do not in any way advocate).

I got one of each color! I assume this is the norm for this product. I keep one of them on my desk at work, and have been using it daily for weeks now. I will say that the "gel", or whatever the filling is, can be a little stiff at first, especially if it's a cooler day, but it has a nice, squeezable, texture once warmed up. It seems to be fairly durable, my coworkers child was playing with it, stretching it, throwing it around, etc. and it still seems to be in good condition.

Dream drop is one of my favorite sensory toys. It’s a great size that fits I. Your hand well. The stretchiness is perfect, starts off stiff and becomes stretchy as it warms up. Not sticky at all. Great value for the price and very durable. No leakage.

Great products. My kids love them as well as us adults in the home. Lol they are very addicting to play with

I love the shape, size and feel!! Love needoh but this is my favorite. I've been using constantly for weeks and it's great for my stiff achy joints. When it's on my desk - it sits in it's cute splashy nest. When it gets cold, it takes a couple minutes to warm in my hands, but I like the process of making it softer over time. I probably cut down my ibuprofin by half

Really like them little bit disappointed that I only got 2 colors even though it said you would get a variation. My other thing is that hair specifically dog hair sticks to it really easily so you’ve constantly gotta clean them which is a little bit annoying but really satisfying squash and so I would say if you like the needoh, nice cube or something like that these are really good and I really like the base on the bottom is really nice to help it stand up. I originally bought this, but my daughter and really good would highly recommend

This is so much better than a sponge type stress ball! The texture feels great. So far it is retaining its shape. The only thing to mention is that when you handle it enough, the original shine wears off. It’s like the squish equivalent of popping bubble wrap. The three pack is a good deal; I have a house dream drop, an office dream drop, and I gave one to a co worker .

Daughter (age 11) loves these. Bought these to give a a gift, but she had these also. Haven't punctured yet and seem to be well made. Great value!

It's a pack of 3. I've been using one for 2 months; it became "loose" and not as well shaped as it was before. Eventually it burst, and spilled weird extremely sticky fluid on my hands. I wouldn't advise being very violent with it, unfortunately. It also picks up a TON of dust, a bit like nanotape.

Grandchildren 10 and over loved them

I have had such bad experiences with squishies, but these are still whole after a week, which is good going. I would buy again. Would have been nice to have a mix of colours. The splash shaped bit is detachable and can be used as a stand.
