The dough is a very soft material for sculpting a variety of compositions and shapes. The dough, unlike plasticine, does not stain your hands. Properly kneaded modeling dough does not crack or crumble. You can store crafts from it for a long time. True, it requires careful handling because of its fragility. Our great-grandmothers made wonderful figurines that they gave to their friends and relatives for the holidays.
