playdoughs
Kids' sculpting compounds
Playdoughs is the plural of playdough, a soft, pliable modeling compound used primarily by children for sculpting and creative play.
The term derives from Play-Doh, a trademarked product, but has become genericized to describe any similar malleable clay-like substance, whether commercial or homemade.
The kids made animals out of different colored playdoughs.
The material is designed to be non-toxic and reusable until it dries out.
