My baby isn’t old enough to play with playdough just yet, but I do know that organic play dough is all the rage. The ones I’ve seen do have an irresistible quality to them: they’re usually smooth and soft, smell wonderful, and some are even okay to nibble on.
But they can be expensive! I’m of the mind that the kind we grew up with is plenty good. I mean, do you want to shell out money to buy a real, lasting toy or a set of dough that will likely be mixed into a smear of colors in just one use?
If your child is a super careful play dough enthusiast, then maybe it’s worth it. But I’m pretty sure come the time, I’ll be Hasbro all the way.
What do you think? Is organic play dough worth the dough?

Why: Looking for a birthday present your little one will love? Try “Mitch,” a plush Neon Monster. He’s super-exclusive, thanks to an awesome collaboration between Neon Monster and San Francisco artists, Reuben Rude and Lauren Venell. Not only is Mitch larger than your average stuffed toy (he’s 14 inches), but he’s also eco-friendly. Mitch is made from huggable, non-pilling, recycled PET plastic and he’s available in limited-edition albino-pink or grey.
