'the dough project' keeps kids' health and safety in mind when creating modeling dough for them to play with. The creator of the dough project is Chelsea Milkman, a former preschool teacher. Parents and guardians should also note that each dough she has created is an all-natural, food-grade mix that makes three batches of children-friendly modeling dough.
The doughs are made from sea salt, wheat flour, cream of tartar, and plant-based colored powder like beet, turmeric, and spirulina. The dough kits are all handmade in New York and, when made, can be stored in an air-tight container for up to six months.
Parents, guardians, and teachers can purchase the DIY colorful dough kits on the Uncommon Goods website.
