Product Information
Full details
The Wilko Dinosaur or Space Dough Set is designed for children who enjoy tactile, imaginative play and creative arts and crafts. This set offers a fun, hands-on way to develop fine motor skills through sculpting and storytelling, providing five tubs of dough along with themed accessories to build unique worlds. A notable caveat is that the dough should be stored in airtight containers after every use to prevent drying out, as exposure to air will harden the modelling clay over time.

FAQs
Is the modelling dough non-toxic?
Yes, the dough is designed for children's craft use, but it is not intended to be eaten and should be kept away from the mouth.
Can I mix the different colors of dough?
Yes, colors can be mixed together to create new shades, though please note that once mixed, they cannot be separated back into their original colors.
What should I do if the dough gets on clothes or carpets?
Allow the dough to dry completely, then gently scrape or brush the residue off the fabric before washing with warm water.
How long will the dough last?
The dough will last for multiple play sessions as long as it is stored in the provided airtight tubs when not in use.
Are the accessories dishwasher safe?
It is recommended to hand wash the plastic moulds and accessories in warm soapy water rather than using a dishwasher.
Troubleshooting
Dough has become hard or dry
Try kneading a tiny drop of water into the dough until it regains its soft, pliable texture.
Dough is sticking to the moulds
Lightly dust the mould with a tiny amount of flour or wipe the mould with a hint of vegetable oil to prevent sticking.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the dough set requires no tools; simply remove the lids from the tubs and select the desired moulds. To maintain the quality of the dough, ensure it is returned to its original tub and the lid is pressed on firmly after each session. If the dough feels slightly stiff, a tiny drop of water can occasionally be kneaded in to restore pliability. Always supervise children during play to ensure the dough is not ingested, and clean surfaces with warm, soapy water after use to remove any residual clay.
