The exact ingredients of Play-Doh Classic Compound are proprietary, so we cannot share them with you. We can tell you that it is primarily a mixture of water, salt and flour. Play-Doh Classic Compound is not a food item and is not manufactured in a facility that manufactures food.  The formula does NOT contain boron compounds (e.g. Borax, Boric acid... etc.), peanuts, peanut oil, nuts or any milk byproducts, but it DOES contain wheat.  Play-Doh is not intended to be eaten.

Play-Doh Classic Compound is LHAMA certified non-toxic.  Children who are allergic to wheat may have an allergic reaction to this product.   Everyone is different, so if you have a specific concern around ingredients, please reach out to Consumer Care.  Also, due to the high salt content in Play-Doh Classic Compound, the product can be harmful to pets if ingested. There is no SDS sheet required for Play-Doh compound.

Play-Doh compound is designed to use over and over again. If allowed to harden (to preserve a creation) it will most likely crack.

Look for oven curable clay at your local craft stores to make long lasting creations.

When attempting to remove Play-Doh compound do NOT use hot water or cleaning solutions of any kind. To remove Play-Doh compound from carpet or fabrics, allow it to dry completely, and then loosen with a stiff brush. It may be necessary to vacuum clean or wash with gentle soap and cold water. You may need to repeat the process in order to completely remove the Play-Doh compound.

1. Pick up the Pieces Part 1
   Playtime is done. Here are ways to make the cleaning up fun.
   Remove small pieces of moist Play-Doh Compound from your work surface -- and even some carpets -- by gently pressing a larger piece of moist Play-Doh Compound against them and lifting them away.
2. Pick up the Pieces Part 2
   Dry pieces of Play-Doh Compound can generally be picked off of hard surfaces. DO NOT USE SOAP AND WATER, as that will make them dissolve and become harder to remove.
3. Cleaning Carpets
   If Play-Doh Compound gets into the carpet, let it dry. When it's dry, loosen the pieces with a stiff brush, then pick them up by hand or with a hand-held or regular vacuum. DO NOT WET THE Play-Doh COMPOUND. DO NOT USE HOT WATER OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS.
4. Keep a Lid on It
   Store Play-Doh Compound in the can with the lid completely closed. If left exposed, Play-Doh Compound will eventually dry out.
5. Take a Picture...It Lasts Longer
   Your child creates a masterpiece you want to cherish, but Play-Doh Compound creations will eventually dry and crack if left out. Preserve your child's work of art by taking a photo of it. That way you can admire it always. You can even post it the Play-Doh Facebook page for your friends and family to see!
6. Engage Your Child
   Turn cleaning up into a game. Ask your child to find all the blue pieces and put them in a can, then all the mixed-color pieces and put them in a can, and so on. Sing a song while you do it to make the time pass even more quickly. Make it a race to get it done even faster.
