This is to help kids of all ages explore electronics with play dough. It can show you how electricity works in a more simple way, and too make things more safer, the dough that you make can use gluten-free flour. We have the colored (Conductive) dough above that helps the flow of electricity from the batteries through the dough to the LED and going back to the battery lighting it. We do have to make sure the coloured dough in this circuit do not touch each other, thats where the white (Insulating) dough comes in, electricity does not past through this, as you see the image with all the dough packed, just makes this tidier. Videos can be found here from making the dough to making a squishy circuits, even using Arduino to make Squishy sounds!
