My son has got play doh for his 2nd B'day and he likes playing with it. But I have seen him putting the doh in his mouth once in a while. Am just wondering if its safe for him?
In my knowledge if you use play doh of a good company its safe. But still I will suggest you to avoid such situations that your child eats it. Maybe for sometime you do not let him play with it so that he forgets about eating it.
How much ever it is specified in the packing and by the company I would not trust it as I think it does not make sense that we take it easy. I do not think that we should let our kids put these things in mouth.
In the beginning my son also did put play doh in his mouth but then I gave a break of a couple of months and just put play doh way. Next time when he started playing with it he did not put it in mouth.
Kids do enjoy play doh but definitely not at the cost of your child's health. Once your child has got in the habit of eating the play doh stuff you better stop giving it to him and give to him after an interval. By that time he will forget that he used to eat that.

Though its non-toxic but better to let him play only under parent's supervision. If he eats play doh he may end up with stomach bug.
Definitely its not safe and if you cannot monitor then please do not let your child play with it till he stops putting this in mouth.

I gave play doh to my son only at the age of 3. Some of my friend's suggested me to give it to my son only at the age of 3 or later.
