FAQs

How is your dough made?

Our dough is made with all natural, non-toxic ingredients found in most kitchens. Although each component is edible, the play dough will be quite salty to taste and is not meant to be eaten. The dough is taste safe in the event a small amount is ingested. The soft and pliable consistency is maintained with a small-batch method of producing. Some doughs contain glitter or sprinkles, which are inedible, but do not contain sugar and will not compromise the dough.

Does your dough include allergens?

The dough is contains simple food grade ingredients that include flour, salt, oil, cream of tartar, and food coloring. It does not contain any of the allergens such peanuts, tree nuts, or eggs, but it is made in a home that uses eggs & nuts. We do follow hand washing guidelines and have strict cleaning processes. Food is never consumed in the area when dough is being made.

How long will the dough last?

In it's original packaging, dough will last up to 3 months. With intermittent use, the dough will continue to last 3+ months with proper care.

How do I keep the dough fresh?

Kits come with play dough sealed in plastic dough jars. These jars will keep the dough fresh and airtight before and in between use. Once play is done, just pop it back into the jar and tighten the lid.

Favors and flash releases may come with dough tightly wrapped with plastic wrap. Once opened, store the dough in provided zipper bag, squeezing out any extra air.

Regardless of storage method, the dough keeps longer when wrapped soon after play is done. Prolonged air exposure can dry out the dough. If salt crystals form, or the dough ever feels gritty, add a drop or two of water at a time, kneading in well, until desired consistency of softness and pliability is reached again.

Will my dough last forever?

Unfortunately, like most products made from natural ingredients, the dough will not last forever. Keeping your dough fresh by following the tips noted above will help maintain and increase the life of the dough.

Cleaning Up

The dough is very easy to clean! After storing the dough as noted before, washing the play surface requires only wiping with a damp sponge or cloth. If the dough has dried and hardened, use a bit more water and some light scrubbing. If dough becomes stuck onto carpet or clothing, let it dry and brush out. The dough is water soluble so it should wash out of clothing in the washing machine.
