Play-doh and Role-Playing Fun

Category : Activities for kids, Kids & Kids


Play-doh ‘look-alikes’ are just everywhere these days.

And they’re getting quite creative too, I reckon!

We got this one as a gift last year.

A ‘going to the doctor’ play set.

Cute, heh.

And, it allows for role-playing fun too!

And it sure is even more fun when you have a sibling to play (and argue) with!


Btw, if you have original play-doh and they’re getting ‘dry and hard’, this is the tips from the Hasbro website:

To restore the softness to PLAY-DOH compound, try adding water one drop at a time and working it in to moisten the PLAY-DOH compound. You can also try wrapping the PLAY-DOH compound in a damp paper towel, returning it to the container and replacing the cover. Let it sit overnight.

Hmm.

One of these days I’ll give it a go …

Anyway.

Have fun!

    The tip given is correct. As Play-doh is made of wheat, water will help them regain the softness.

    I experienced this today. I just add water base on my own knowledge and it works.

    Good tip! But heehee, don’t think it will work on my home made playdough that has gone mouldy, ewww :)

    Thanks for sharing! Useful tips for other parents who most likely have dried-up play-doh too at home :D

    Eww… usually I just throw the whole thing if it looks slightly mouldy.

    And, home made playdough … hmmm really should try and make that ourselves too one of these days!
