Yummy Dough

Move over Play-Doh, now there’s something yummier. Play-Doh is great and all. Sure it delivers hours of entertainment, is technically non-toxic and edible, but it’s not like we enjoy eating mouthfuls upon mouthfuls of its chewy, salty goodness. Yummy Dough, on the other hand, has all the great properties of Play-Doh but is actually as delicious as it looks.

There’s a four-step process involved in getting Yummy Dough to its optimum edible state, meaning more hands-on fun. First add water to the mix. Then knead the dough. After sculpting your creations (the sky’s the limit), pop them in the oven and bake them for 15-30 minutes. Six foot, seven foot, eight foot, munch!

Yummy Dough comes with four packs of different colored dough; red, green, blue and yellow. Though the dough looks like it’s packed with harmful dyes, think again. It has been tested and meets EU food standards. Also, notice that for color, natural ingredients such as Beetroot Red and Curcumin (fancy word for Turmeric) are used rather than our unwanted friend known as Yellow #5. For those with egg, nut, wheat, gluten and milk allergies, this product is unfortunately not for you.

The texture of the dough looks more rigid and glossy than Play-Doh, so more detail and sophistication will shine through in your creations. Think Wallace & Gromit or Mr. Bill.
