Hi Variety Writer!

I might be a bit old for this, but I'm almost tempted to make some Play-Doh myself. I loved it when I was a small child.

I suppose the salt prevents it from going off, so it can be put away and used again and again.

Is it still non-toxic with glitter?

Enjoyed the read!

All the best, Camlo
