What Are Sweet Tooth Dessert Sprinkles for Playdough?

Bio DoUgh Sweet Tooth Dessert Sprinkles are decorative sensory play pieces featuring ice creams, doughnuts and cakes.

Children can press them into playdough, arrange them into pretend dessert displays or combine them with their favourite playdough accessories to create miniature bakeries and cafés.

Each set comes in a 240 ml reusable container, helping keep the pieces together between play sessions.

Unlike single-use decorations, these sprinkles are designed for repeated play, allowing children to create different pretend treats and dessert-themed scenes whenever they like.

Although they look like miniature sweets, Bio DoUgh Sprinkles are toys, not food.

Made in Australia with Vegan Wax

Bio DoUgh Sweet Tooth Dessert Sprinkles are made in Australia using vegan wax and food-grade ingredients.

They are designed for decorative sensory play and can be pressed into playdough, arranged into patterns or used as part of imaginative dessert-themed activities.

Although made using food-grade ingredients and shaped like miniature treats, the sprinkles are toys and must not be eaten.

A Fun Screen-Free Activity for Kids

Dessert-themed playdough activities can be a simple way to encourage screen-free creative play.

Children can decorate pretend cupcakes, create miniature ice cream shops, invent café stories or explore different colours and shapes.

The same materials can be used in different ways depending on the child's interests.

One afternoon might involve building a pretend bakery, while another could become an imaginary birthday celebration.

Age Guidance & Supervision

Bio DoUgh Sweet Tooth Dessert Sprinkles contain small parts and are intended for children aged 3 years and older with adult supervision.
