Frequently Asked Questions

• What to do if the "Play-Doh hardens"?

  My experience is: You can try adding a few drops of water and kneading it, or wrap it in a damp cloth and leave it for a while, which usually restores some of its softness. But if it dries and cracks, you might need to get a new one.
