When do they play with playdough??

As you can tell--I'm clueless about children LOL

I would imagine he'd try eating it right now--but I wondered--is it like 18-24 mos or so????

DS actually can't play with playdough b/c he's allergic to gluten but there is a different product that is available I was thinking of ordering for him for Christmas--but he'll be 18 mos--not sure if it's too young.

Make some edible play dough and see how he does....personally I wouldn't use not edible play dough until at least 3.

DD has been playing with playdough for a while now. I didn't really think to try it till about 16 months and she loved it. She may have liked it before then. I would def order that for Christmas, it's so fun!

I think the recommended age is two years old. I made some home made "playdough" that is edible for my DS. He didn't seem to know what to do with it and yes, he tried to eat it. I decided I will wait until he's two to buy him the real thing.

DS has been playing with it since about 16 months. He still tried to eat it once in awhile.

FWIW, always make my own "playdough" too. It's easy, cheap, I know what's going in it and DD likes to help make it so it's an extra activity.

DS has been playing with it since he was 13 months old. He stopped putting things in his mouth pretty early though.

DS loves playdoh! He has been playing with it for about a month, so about 14 months- he tries every now and then to eat it but not often.

I was just looking at that in the store and the cans say 2+... but I bought some to try with my 18 month old... we haven't tried it out, yet, though!
