FAQ's

 

I would like to buy a play dough kit as a gift. What is the shelf life?

How wonderful, you're about to make a little person so incredibly HAPPY!

If stored in a cool, dry place with the cling wrap in tact, the dough will keep well for 1-2 months. Give it a good knead (play) once opened. The dough improves in texture and consistency the more it is played with. So be sure to keep those little hands busy!

If you would like to pre-purchase a kit and have the order full-filled at a later date, please get into contact with us.

Once opened, how long should my play dough last?

If stored correctly, and played with frequently, your dough should last upwards of 3 months!

Before each use ensure little hands are clean and dry (nobody wants mouldy dough!)

How do I store my play dough?

After each use, your dough should be wrapped in cling wrap and stored in a zip lock bag, with as much air removed as possible, then placed back into your play dough kit. Kits should be stored in a cool dry place.

Can I cancel my order once it has been placed? 

As your playdough is made to order, and can perish, we are not able to offer returns or cancellations. Should you have any issues with your order, please contact us. 

If my child happens to ingest some play dough, is it safe?

Our dough is made from non-toxic, food grade ingredients so if a little dough happens to make it into their mouths it is completely safe. Although, we do not recommend excessive amounts to be eaten. Supervision is recommended at all times.

What is so important about sensory play?

• Research shows that sensory play builds nerve connections in the brain’s pathways, which lead to the child’s ability to complete more complex learning tasks.

• Sensory play supports language development, cognitive growth, fine and gross motor skills, problem solving skills, and social interaction.

• This type of play aids in developing and enhancing memory

• Sensory play is great for calming an anxious or frustrated child

• It helps children learn sensory attributes (hot, cold, sticky, dry)

• Learning is taking place, in the best way possible- through PLAY!

Why play dough?

As children manipulate play dough they work on their fine motor skills and finger dexterity. These are the skills that are required to perform everyday tasks such as doing up buttons and zips, operating scissors, opening containers and eventually- handwriting.
