Question
Can Play-Doh be baked?  We are doing a project where no supports can be used and the model must be entirel out of Play-Doh.

The model is a city skyline and must be 8" in height, but only 8" wide and 6" long for the base. Very difficult to keep the towers from falling over.

Answer
HI Sonia,

Thanks for writing.  I haven't had any luck finding outif you can put play-doh in the oven safely or not.  

Perhaps someone at the Play-Doh Web site will be able to help?
