Play dough is a simple toy that has many benefits to your child, unknowingly while playing with the dough, your child is actually building and learning.
Similar to the stress ball, play dough helps to relax children by squeezing it in their hands. It can help ease tension and improve their focus. If your child is feeling stressed, sit them down with some playdough and let their worries roll away.
Moulding play dough promotes creativity as there are an unlimited number of things your kids can make. Children learn about innovation while learning to focus on the task at hand.
While your kids are moulding their play dough, the tiny muscles in their hand are building up strength. These muscles are to be used in their not-so-distant future for activities such as holding a pen or pencil or using cutlery.

Our play dough kit is made in a family kitchen, using only the highest ingredients. All ingredients are edible, however not advisable to eat due to the high salt content. The colours are natural food-grade colours, and due to these natural pigments, colours may fade – but you can always add some more food colouring from your kitchen to freshen it up.
We recommend storing your play dough in an airtight jar in a cool dark place. If drying or crumbling occurs, you can add water or essential oils to keep it moist and mouldable.
