Our take
Why we like it
A pleasant material for rolling and shaping, but “natural” or non-toxic still does not mean edible or risk-free.
What parents should know
Homemade salt dough is not safe to eat and should be refrigerated if made with food ingredients. Small tools can be choking risks and the dough can stain.
Pros
- + Soft texture
- + Good colour play
- + Reusable for a while
Cons
- − Can dry out
- − Food ingredients still need care
