Clay-Dough, a generic version of the ever-popular Play-Doh is a nontoxic reusable
modelling compound. While the name is different, the ingredients are similar, and it has
been used by kids (including you and I) to form all kinds of cool shapes and sizes since
its introduction in 1956.
Play-Doh tends to crumble and you end up vacuuming a lot of little dried up pieces.
Modelling clay is usually oil based (the reason why it doesn't dry out, or crumble), so be
careful about choosing the right surface for them to use the clay on. Modelling dough is
a malleable material meant for tactile, exploratory play. A preferred sculptural material
for young children, most doughs are nontoxic and made out of a flour-based mixture
that is soft and easy for small hands to shape.
'Clay' refers to the binder in the plaster, just as lime, cement or gypsum refers to the
binder in their respective plasters. Clay is therefore a better description than 'earth', as
earth also contains aggregates and other materials which may be found in all types of
plaster. It is harder and more impact-resistant than clay but that makes it more difficult
to repair.
