If you let your children play with Blue Dominoes Activity Dough you’ll have no worries that they are rolling around and squishing up toxic dough balls.
Blue Dominoes Activity Dough is all natural, organic, wheat and gluten free, contains no lead or other heavy metals, is BPA free, contains no artificial coloring and is hypo-allergenic.
So this playful activity dough is not only eco-friendly but child friendly.
I received a set of this activity dough to try out. My kids adore it. The recyclable plastic containers are made to stack and fit easily into my cupboard and the lids fit on tight so the dough doesn’t dry out. Everyday my little asks me to get his dough down so he can play with it at the dining room table.
I give him a rolling pin and cookie cutters and he’ll actually sit there and play for at least an hour- which is a record for him because he’s a busy and active child who is always looking for something new to do. Sometimes the whole family will join in and design fun things from the dough- especially my husband. He loves to sit down and play with the kids. I think it helps him de-stress after a long day at work.
It’s always the simplest things that can give the greatest pleasure. Who needs bright lights, plastic, or video games to have fun? Simple toys that spark imagination are the best.
I think my little guy’s favorite toy is a cardboard box. He’ll play with one for hours always adding stuff to it, taking stuff out, drawing on it, wearing it or climbing into it depending on the size. I guess he likes cardboard boxes because they become anything he wants them to be.
The same idea applies to activity dough- it becomes what you want it to. It’s up to you to mould and shape it to your desires. Perfect for children’s budding imaginations. Not to mention it is a great activity that uses hand eye coordination.
Blue Dominoes has taken the fun of activity dough and made it safer than ever by using only food grade ingredients in the dough that is made proudly in the USA. They’ve even gone beyond normal safety standards and performed their own socially responsible quality testing to ensure the safety of every product.

I can not ever get the Blue Dominoes site to load - any ideas? Any links I click on it says that it can’t open the page.
Thanks,
Amanda

I’ve checked the link, and the problem seems to be that the Blue Dominoes site is getting more traffic than it can handle. Lots of moms interested in safe, nontoxic gluten-free activity dough and finger paints is good, except when it overwhelms the site. About the only thing to do is try going to the site again later.

I tried today to get onto their site. Are you sure it is still working and active?
