People Who Help Us

Meet People Who Help Us — a 130g tub of tactile, scented playdough that invites children to explore the world of community helpers through hands-on play. With a bold red base and an eye-catching mix of red, white and blue glitter, this dough is designed to inspire imaginative scenes of firefighters, police, paramedics and more.

What makes this playdough stand out

• Emergency services flair — included flat-back emergency service shapes let little ones press, decorate and build action-packed stories right on the dough.
• Sensory-rich, long-lasting dough — luxuriously soft, deliciously scented and crafted for extended play sessions that support focus, relaxation and stress relief through simple, repetitive actions like squishing and rolling.
• Child-friendly, non-toxic formula — made from food-grade ingredients with care for little hands, designed to be safe during play. Note: it contains a high salt content and is not intended for ingestion.
• Aroma that enhances play — the dough is lightly scented with oils to create an inviting, memory-building play experience that kids genuinely enjoy.

How it helps your child

Playing with this dough supports fine motor development as children squeeze, poke, pinch, squash and pat their creations. It also encourages expressive storytelling—kids can act out community scenes, role-play helping others, and explore social concepts in a fun, tangible way. The simple act of crafting with dough can be a soothing activity for both kids and parents, offering a moment of calm during a busy day.

Ideal for

• Children aged 3 and up who love vehicles, teamwork, and imaginative storytelling
• Home playrooms, early learning centers, and therapy or sensory corners seeking engaging, hands-on activities
• Parents looking for creative, low-modium activities that improve dexterity and concentration

Care, safety and storage

To keep the dough fresh and enjoyable:

• Store in the airtight jar provided, in a cool, dark place.
• Discards after 6 months if kept in an airtight container.
• Be mindful of salt crystals that may appear on the surface when unused; they are harmless and will re-incorporate once kneaded.
• Keep out of reach of children under 3 years due to small parts that may pose a choking hazard; adult supervision is advised.
