Try putting the article of clothing in the freezer for about six hours. This will harden the crayon and you should be able to scrape it off the garment. Any leftover stain should be treated with an enzymatic cleaner and then laundered as usual.

Assuming you just made it, It needs more flour - kneed it into the mix. If it is old homemade playdough & is sticky, it is likely it was stored next to a heat source & I would throw it out.

What was Play-Doh originally made for?

User Avatar

Asked by Norval Lind

The substance that would come to be known as Play-Doh was originally sold by a company called Kutol as a wallpaper cleaner. But walls in the 1950s were a lot less sooty than they had been in 1912, when the company was founded—coal's popularity was declining, and sales of the wallpaper cleaner were slumping. Kay Zufall, a teacher who happened to be the sister-in-law of one of Kutol's big wigs, came up with the idea of letting kids play with the stuff, and it was a big hit. Play-Doh hit the toy market in 1956, and it's become a phenomenon, having sold 3 billion cans since that debut. It's so iconic it even got its own perfume.

What can you use instead of flour in play dough?

Commercially made "Playdoh" can be substituted with home made play dough. One needs to be careful to use a recipe that will not mold or spoil. Some formulas include alum or other unpleasant flavoring to discourage children from eating the dough.

How do you make play dough stick to paper?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

You can't. The clay has too much oil in it and if you try to hang it the clay will slide off. It is also too heavy to stay hanging on the paper. Glue doesn't work with it either, I have tried it. You need to use something else. Something lighter.

Asked by Wiki User

You can try to hot glue play doh to something, if you put enough on, it will most likely stay. The easiest way would to shape the play doh, let it dry so it's hard, and then glue it on, otherwise it could just fall off.

Asked by Wiki User

Not really. Cream of tartar is a weak acid. You may want to try an equal amount of vinegar as a substitute. Cream of tartar does improve elasticity and dough smoothness. It is worthwhile to purchase cream of tartar.
