Do you allow Play-Doh in your house?

Yeah. We love it. Never found it messier than any other activity. Use play doh afterwards to pick up scraps with, maybe just a plastic sheet underneath. Literally takes 2 minutes to put away. It’s just getting out from under nails that’s the faff.

We don’t find it that messy. We have a mat we use for playdoh, coloring, painting etc so it’s contained. Towel down under my 4 year old while he’s playing with it. Easy to vacuum after pieces have dried as long as it’s not smushed into the rug, of course.

we have it but i make sure to tell my daughter that play doh stays on her play table and that she's not allowed to bring it aroubd the house, its not that messy when it stays in one place

Have always allowed it, with kinetic sand and slime! We used to use a plastic cloth but I bought a foldable pool that they use now.

We did. But we recently got a new carpet in our living room so no more play doh or slime 😂. He’s got access to these things at nursery during the week so I don’t think he’s missing out too much 🫣

Play doh isn’t that messy. Slime is not allowed though. And kinetic sand is only allowed it kitchen.

We do play doh almost daily here. It's so great for their hands to get ready for handwriting. My little started joining us around 15mo- his is a homemade taste safe play doh.

Play doh and kinetic sand at the kitchen table. No slime allowed. My son has been playing with them both since about 20 months of age.

Only in the kitchen because unfortunately we have carpet everywhere else in the house. If we didn't have carpet, it would be allowed!

I love play-doh

Im team yes and the husbands team no! So we have messy mats to out out when we use it as a compromise... But i hate that I have t make homemade for the tiny cause she find it's delicious 🥴

My dad threw away all our play doh stuff when my sister and I were kids because we got it in the carpet too many times and wouldn't listen about keeping it contained. Lol

I think it depends on how good your kids are about not making a mess. I was really impulsive and overestimated my abilities a lot so I ended up doing things that I didn't realize would cause chaos.

Booo play doh

Play-Doh, absolutely! Kinetic sand, only with strict adult supervision. Slime, no way. We also use messy mats (large plastic placemats) for arts and crafts time. I highly recommend them for quick, easy cleanups 😊

We do all the messy activities! We love slime, glitter, gloop, sand, sensory/messy play… I always let her play with dry rice, lentil, pasta etc in her play kitchen too… gets everywhere but she has great fun! We use a big messy plastic mat on the floor or table and slime isn’t allowed near the sofas or carpet 😂

We LOVE it! ✨

My daughter loves playdoh, but she's only allowed to use it while sitting at the table. It's a great sensory activity and is so good for motor development!

Yes but we have play mats to put on the kitchen table. Only allowed there.

We have playdoh but only in her highchair.

No. Or moon sand.

Everyone has their triggers and maybe playdoh is hers lol. Playdoh toes the line of too messy so I tolerate it. Kinetic sand makes me fly off the handle.

I love playdough. It’s annoying how the tiny bits of it stick to the floor but we have tile and not carpet so I just wipe them up. It’s fine.

It’s cheap and when it dries out I sweep it up and toss it.

I have rules about where they can play it so it doesn’t get on furniture etc.

Play-doh yes, slime no

I’ve allowed it until I was tired of cleaning it but now that I have a toddler I’ll get some again! It’s so much fun!

We have since my daughter was 2 maybe. They do tend to shove it in little toys but if you run the toys under warm water it turns soft again and comes out. It doesn’t stain anything. The biggest issue is that the colors mix together and turn grey and kids will leave it out so it dries, but we just throw it away if it dries and don’t constantly buy it, only buy a couple every 1-3 months. By 3-4 the kids can put it away much more easily.

We had playdough but he could only play in the kitchen at his table.

I have it but I'm so reluctant to take it out for my kids 🫣 Guilty! I bought a big playdough ice cream truck for my daughter and she got her hands on the spice rack and poured all sorts all over the playdough and it was EVERYWHERE 😭 ok I know that's really my bad for not securing the spices properly and not watching enough but whenever they play with it now I get anxious about the mess after and I just kinda rather them forget that it exists 🙈🙈 I actually wish I wasn't so OCD about it, I know it's silly
