It does not contain nuts, dairy, eggs, or soy, but is handmade in a facility that handles those ingredients, so cross-contamination is possible. A note on color: you may see slight variations in shade due to monitor differences and packaging; your dough is still the same soft, scented, and soothing play experience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo keep things tidy and safe, always supervise young children, especially since some sets include small parts that could pose a choking hazard. If any salt crystals appear on the surface after a period of storage in an airtight container, simply knead them back into the dough—the texture will draw them back in as you play. When you’re finished, store the dough in its airtight jar in a cool, dark place to preserve scent and softness. For best results and to avoid soggy moments, discard the dough after 6 months if kept in an airtight container.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHOW TO USE FOR MAXIMUM IMPACT\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettle into a quiet moment: take a few slow breaths as you knead and roll the dough, letting the aroma cue relaxation.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuild fine motor skills: roll into snakes, form letters, pinch tiny shapes, then blend colors by layering pieces together.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCreate calming routines: pair play with breathing exercises, set a timer for 5–10 minutes, and finish with a soft, mindful stretch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExtend playtime with kitchen-safe tools: plastic rollers, cutters, or texture stamps to explore surface patterns and tactile feedback.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpring has sprung—bring this fudge-scented sensory experience into your home or classroom and transform ordinary play into a moment of calm, creativity, and connection. \u003c\/strong\u003eLittle Munchkins Playdough is more than a toy; it’s a versatile tool for relaxation, focus, and joyful, hands-on learning.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"LITTLE MUNCHKINS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41550056325253,"sku":null,"price":4.85,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/8311\/4373\/files\/IMG_6603.webp?v=1773744473","url":"https:\/\/www.thelittlechildrensstore.co.uk\/products\/spring-has-sprung-playdough","provider":"The Little Children’s Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
