Over the Rain Dough

2007_08_06_overtheraindough.jpgA green update on an old favorite. Play-doh is non-toxic, but its exact ingredients are a trade secret and they certainly use dyes to make those bright colors. Since 2004, Over the Rain Dough has been offering a purer alternative using 100% plant-based coloring and 80% organic ingredients. Better yet, their dough is natually scented - Minty Green, Cinnamony Brown, Berry Pink, Peachy Peach, etc.

 
 

Their ingredient are straightfoward. Lemony yellow Rain Dough contains: organic flour, sea salt, organic vegetable oil, cream of tartar, turmeric, organic lemon flavor, grapefruit seed extract and filtered water.

A six-pack costs $29.99 and can be purchased here.

Of course you can make your own playdough at home. Here's one recipe to try.

we'll have to try this. we made a large batch last year with our playgroup and added sand and glitter for apperance/texture. this kids really enjoyed doing it, but il have to warn everyone that the cream of tarter will make your kitchen smell (and also their hands everytime they play with it).
