Why this playdough stands out
- Chocolate orange scent delivers a warm, inviting aroma that engages the senses and sparks imagination during imaginative play, storytelling, or pretend kitchen adventures.

- Accessible sensory learning ideal for home, classroom, or therapy settings where hands-on exploration and calm, focused play are beneficial.
Important handling and safety notes
- Playdough should be stored in the airtight jar provided and kept in a cool, dark place to maintain its softness and scent.
- This dough contains a very high salt content and is not intended to be eaten. Always supervise young children during play, and discard after 6 months if stored in an airtight container to ensure freshness.
- Allergen information: Contains WHEAT, Salt, Food Colouring / Plant Dye, Cream of tartar, Vegetable oil, and Essential oil. It does not contain nuts, dairy, eggs or soy, but is made in a facility that handles those items, so cross-contamination could occur.
- Some sets may contain small parts that pose a choking hazard. Adult supervision is required; do not leave unattended and keep kits out of reach of children under 3 years.
- Color variations can occur between batches or due to monitor/phone displays and packaging/shipping conditions. Your dough will remain safe and playable even with these tiny hues shifts.
- Salt crystals may surface on top if unused for a time. This is perfectly normal; simply knead the crystals back into the dough for a seamless, soft texture.
- Essential oils are used in this product — please check the bottom of the container for specific details and any safety notes.
Who it’s for and ideal use cases

- Great for rainy days, quiet time, travel kits, and creative play sessions that keep little hands engaged.
How this compares to other playdough options

Tips for the best play experience
- Keep the dough in the provided jar and reseal tightly after each use to preserve softness and scent.
- Introduce simple mini-sculpting tasks: roll long snakes for threading, poke holes to create texture, or flatten and cut shapes to build scenes and stories.
- Combine with safe, small accessories only if included in your specific kit, and always supervise to prevent unsupervised handling of loose parts.
- If you notice salt crystals forming on the surface, simply knead them back into the dough. They re-dissolve with regular handling.
