playdough
Soft sculpting material
Playdough is a soft, pliable modeling compound used by children for sculpting and creative play.
The material stays malleable and doesn't harden, making it reusable.
Play-Doh is the trademarked brand name, but playdough has become generic for any similar modeling clay: The kids spent the afternoon making animals out of playdough.
