Our Mission

The Dough Project creates opportunities for open-ended, sensory-based play through celebrations, classes and a line of all-natural, plant-based dough for playing.  We believe that children are capable, competent, and deserving of quality materials.  We curate the materials, but you and your family bring them to life. #abetterwaytoplay

All Natural Ingredients

We believe in conscious, quality choices that promote wellness. Dough is made from all natural, food-grade ingredients & colored from plants.

Handmade in NYC

From classroom to kitchen, dough was born in New York City, and continues to grow and thrive here.

Classroom proven

After 8 years of making dough in preschool classrooms, we can honestly say, it’s a tool that works. Year after year, it was a group favorite.

Just wanted to tell you that my grandbabies LOVE their new dough. Liam loves the dough and loves to open and close the jars. His almost 7 year old sister and almost 4 year old brother are also big fans.
