8 Colours Clay Dough Set with 7 Tools, 3 Mats | Power Kit | Taste-safe clay

Playing with the Lattoo Dough Power Kit not only sparks creativity but also aids in building hand muscles and learning letter formation. Here's how your child can engage with dough, tools, and mats:

• Utilize the wooden rolling pins to roll and flatten the dough. This activity requires your child to exert pressure, improving hand strength and control.
• Use the wooden stamp, knife, and scissors to create precise shapes and cutouts. These actions involve fine motor movements, which contribute to the development of hand muscles.
• Explore the double-sided mats with different textures and patterns. Encourage your child to press the dough onto the mats, following the curves and arcs displayed. This practice reinforces the formation of letter shapes and improves motor coordination.
• Guide your child in using the tools and mats to create letters of the alphabet. They can press the dough onto the mats to trace the letter shapes or use the tools to sculpt the letters directly.
• Engage in interactive play with your child, encouraging them to narrate stories or create scenes using the clay dough and tools. This imaginative play further enhances their fine motor skills and cognitive abilities.
• Combine different colors, experiment with mixing them, and create new shades and patterns.

Q: What do you mean by taste-safe?

A: Taste-safe means that if by chance a small amount of Lattoodough goes in the mouth, it's fine as it's completely made from food-grade ingredients.

Q: How do I care for the Lattoodough?

A: To maintain its texture and freshness, store the clay dough in the provided tub and close the lid properly. However, if it becomes dry by any chance:

• Place the dough in the dough tub and add a small amount of water. Using your hands, knead the wet dough, ensuring the water is evenly distributed and absorbed.
• If the dough becomes slightly wet, don't worry, as it's normal. Let the dough rest in the closed tub for 2 hours. After the resting period, knead the dough again, and you will find it moist and malleable.
• If needed, you can add a few drops of vegetable oil while kneading for added smoothness and pliability.
• If you live in a humid climate, the dough being natural may absorb some moisture from the air and turn loose or sticky. In that case, just heat the dough in a pan for a minute or in the microwave for 40 seconds and let it cool. Once cool, just knead it, and it will be fine again.

Q: What are the ingredients used in the clay dough?

A: Lattooland's clay dough is made from natural and edible ingredients. It does not contain harmful chemicals or toxins. It primarily consists of flour, salt, water, and colorants (all food-grade).

Q: What if my child ate or put the clay dough in their mouth?

A: The clay dough is taste-safe and safe if accidentally ingested in small quantities. It contains food-grade ingredients used in the food industry.

Q: What is the shelf life of the clay dough?

A: Lattooland's clay dough has a shelf life of approximately 6 months.

Q: The dough forms tiny white crystals at the top. Is it safe?

A: Yes, the tiny white crystals on the clay dough's surface are common salt. It occurs when the dough is not used for some time or gets exposed to air. Simply knead it a little, and the crystals will dissolve.

Q: The dough is scented, so is it safe for kids?

A: Yes, absolutely. Even the scents used are edible ones and are mild and subtle for kids. The objective is to provide a multi-sensory experience to kids. We don’t even use essential oils as those are not edible. Don’t worry, it has been made by a mother for her child, and it is the safest you will find!
