DS got moon dough for his birthday, ate a fair chunk of it and had a strange and disturbing squint/blink for 3 days until the dough was out of his system.  No idea if it is related or not.  Also not sure if it got in his eyes or not.  But we're not taking any chances... moon dough and moon sand are banned from our house.

my 21 yo niece just told me that her playdoh always ended up in a big brown blob and my sister had to get her new ones all the time (I think my sis is also OCD) hehe  I do one colour at a time and DS isn't really making anything from it yet except to stuff it in a play cup and fling it out with a play fork ::)

I made some playdough for DS and it lasted for ages - I tried adding food dye but it didn't dye (not sure if it was cause I was using past-use-by-date gluten free flour??) -

really simple to make and no cooking involved etc

DS has a selection of cutters and blunt knives etc - he mainly just makes dents in the dough and not a lot else but spends ages playing with it!
The dough keeps forever in an airtight bag (well, ours was made a few months ago and still looked/worked okay but decided to bin it anyway!)

I always give complimenting colours so if it mixes it is still a colour eg red, orange and White. Or blue and green, pink and purple etc.

There is a fab little farm set in ELC which J understood at an early age. Make a field and trees etc.

I hate it when the colours mix. So annoying.
I stick to one colour at a time too.

DD loves breaking up spaghetti and putting pieces in balls of playdoh to make pretend cakes (the spaghetti strands are the candles!). Simple but she loves it.

I let them mix it.  I think it's all part of the learning process.  But I do think it gets hard sooner when mixed (though I don't know why).  For holidays, birthdays, etc I always ask (Grandmas, aunts, etc) for playdough and we just replace it often.
