My daughter is 18months old and I was wondering when to give her playdough to play with. I gave her crayons to play with and she tried to eat them and I haven't given her playdough for fear of the same thing happening.

Is there a certain brand people prefer or just make your own?

Daniel has eaten crayons and play dough. I just sit and play with him and use the word no alot, then they learn not to eat and just play with it.

The Auckland Kindergarten Association website has a playdough recipe. I would make your own since god knows what's in the commercial stuff and she's likely to eat some of it.

I've been trying playdough without success here for about a year. DD hates the way it feels on her hands.

Here's the link to the page with the playdough recipe

Caleb got some for his second birthday which is the first time he had it at home, but had played with it at Playcentre before that.

Tessa has been playing with it for a few months through playcentre and at home (shes now 10 months) i sit and watch her and yep she's eaten a bit of it (homemade stuff tho the brought stuff says non toxic) hasn't done her any harm. She does't put it in her mouth nearly as much now.

Oooh playdough is so much fun! Homemade stuff is great, especially if you play with it while it's still warm. The cooked kind that is. Which also creates great arm muscles with the effort needed to stir

the kids at daycare were using it from time they were able to sit on the little chairs - about 6-9 months...it is a non toxic one they make (but beware the coloured poops! LOL)

It will be fine if you watch her with it....she will need interactive play so she knows what to do with it anyways....also highly recommend the wee fun factory (about $15?) as a starter as it makes some great starter shapes....ella loves the "spaghetti" one
