Asked at the craft table
The questions grown-ups ask us most, grouped like the drawers of a craft cart.
Safety
Is Play-Doh non-toxic?
Yes, our compound is non-toxic. It isn't food, and it contains wheat.
Is Play-Doh gluten-free?
No. Classic Play-Doh compound is made with wheat, so it isn't suitable for children with a wheat or gluten allergy.
What should I do if my child ate some?
Small amounts aren't expected to be harmful. If a lot was swallowed, there's an allergy, or your child feels unwell, call your doctor or Poison Control at 1-800-222-1222.
Ages
What age is Play-Doh for?
Cans are labelled 2+, most playsets 3+, and some action figure and challenge sets 4+ or 5+.
Is it OK for adults?
Very much. Blooms bouquet kits and air dry clay are popular with grown-ups.
Storage
How do I stop it drying out?
Back in its own can, lid pressed on until it seals, away from heat. Our soft dough guide has more.
Can I mix colors?
Yes — it will marble, and it still plays perfectly.
