Everything you need to know about our playdough — safe, soft, and oh-so fun!
What Is Inside Your Playdough?
We like to keep things simple and safe! Our non-toxic playdoughs are made from plain flour, salt, cream of tartar, vegetable oil, water, and food colouring — that’s it!
No hidden nasties, no harsh chemicals. It's 100% taste- safe!
Some tubs also come with a sprinkle of glitter for extra sparkle or a drop of lavender oil for calming playtime vibes!
While it’s taste-safe for curious little ones, it’s not made to be eaten — Manna’s Dough is only for play!
What makes your playdough different from other brands?
Here’s why families keep choosing us over store-bought brands:
💛 100% Food-Grade Ingredients – safe if curious little ones taste it, unlike many store brands that use synthetic fillers.
💛 No Mess!– our dough doesn’t stain, doesn’t crumble, and doesn’t stick to fabrics — making cleanup stress-free for parents.
💛 Dry - Resist– Our playdoughs stays buttery soft even after left out for 48 hours! It doesn't dry as quickly as commercial brands!
💛 Loved by Parents & Preschools – trusted by thousands of families and early educators across Singapore.
💛 Buttery-Soft Texture – easier for small hands to squish and shape, helping kids stay engaged longer.
With Manna’s Dough, you’re not just buying playdough — you’re giving your child a safe, joyful, and developmentally rich play experience!
Will your playdoughs make a mess or stain?
Nope! Unlike traditional playdough, ours is buttery soft, non-sticky, and mess-free.
It won’t stain little hands, clothes, or furniture — and it’s crumble-proof too!
We’ve formulated it to stay smooth and stretchy without leaving behind those pesky little bits you’d normally have to sweep up!
How Old Is Your Playdough Suitable For?
Manna’s Dough is best for kiddos 16 months and up. It’s made with food-grade ingredients, so totally taste-safe if curious little mouths take a cheeky nibble — but remember, it’s for play, not for lunch.
If your little one is under 3, we recommend a parental supervision, especially with stampers or cutters that have small parts.
Once they’re past the mouthing stage, they’ll be all set to squish, roll, and create to their heart’s content!
How Long Does Your Playdough Last?
With a little TLC, our dough can last 4–6 months (sometimes even longer!). The trick? Keep it snug in its airtight tub and store it in a cool, dry place — an air con room or even the fridge works wonders.
Fun fact: the more your kids play with it, the softer it stays. So take it out often and give it some love!
Yes it can! If it ever feels dry, knead in 1–2 drops of vegetable oil, pop it back in the tub, put the lid on and leave it overnight, and voilà… buttery soft doughs again!
If it’s feeling a bit sticky instead, just flatten it out and leave it under a fan for an hour or so — it’ll bounce right back to that perfect squishy texture!
Is your playdough safe if my child accidentally tastes it?
Don’t panic — our dough is made from food-grade ingredients and is completely non-toxic. So if curious little hands sneak a taste, they’ll be just fine.
That said, it’s still salty and not meant to be eaten (they’ll likely spit it out on their own 😅). We do recommend supervising play, especially for children under the ages of 3 , just to make sure the dough stays as play and not snack time.
What's the best way to store playdough so it lasts longer?
Keep your dough snug in its airtight tub and store it somewhere cool and dry — an air-con room or even the fridge works wonders.
Fun tip: The more frequently you play with it, the longer our playdoughs stay fresh! So bring it out often and let it get some love!
What should I do if playdough dries out? Can it be revived?
Yes it can! If it ever feels dry, knead in 1–2 drops of vegetable oil, pop it back in the tub, put the lid on and leave it overnight, and voilà… buttery soft doughs again!
If it’s feeling a bit sticky instead, just flatten it out and leave it under a fan for an hour or so — it’ll bounce right back to that perfect squishy texture!
What surfaces are best for play?
Flat, smooth, and wipeable surfaces are your best friend — like dining tables, play tables, or our silicone mats. Trays also work great to keep everything contained.
Our dough doesn’t crumble easily or stick to fabric (yay for less mess!), but do avoid paper — it will cling on.”
Can your playdough be taken on flights or used for travel?
Yes! Our tubs are travel-friendly and a lifesaver on planes, in cafés, or on long car rides. The best part? Our doughs don’t stain, don’t stick to fabrics, and are crumble-proof — so no messy surprises in your bag. Just keep them sealed tight after play so they stay fresh. Pro tip: pack a little play mat or tray so your child always has a clean spot to create. Many parents tell us it’s now a must-have in their carry-on
Can I use your playdough with cookie cutters, or commercially made playdough toys
Absolutely! Our dough is designed to work beautifully with cutters, rollers, stampers, or any playdough toy set you might already have at home.
It’s soft enough for little hands to press into, but firm enough to hold shapes — so all those playdough kitchens, shape makers, and stamps will get lots of love.
How does playdough help with my child’s development?
Playdough is like a mini workout for the brain and the hands! Squishing, rolling, and shaping builds fine motor skills, which later support writing and self-help skills (like buttoning shirts).
It also encourages creativity and imagination — suddenly a blob of dough can become a cake, a dinosaur, or a rocket ship 🚀. Plus, it’s sensory play at its best: the textures and colours help children calm down, focus, and even express emotions they can’t put into words yet.
Many parents tell us it’s their child’s “reset button” after a long day.
