I live close to where Plasticine was invented!I don’t remember it drying out when I was a kidlet though; but I do remember having to put Play-doh back into its pots each time.
The stuff we used when I was a kid was “edible” in name only. Mom used to make it for us. Just flour, water, and quite a bit of salt. Once dried it was like white crystal concrete, but ready to paint if that was desired.
I have never heard of Plasticine until today, weird. We had Play-doh on the rare occasions we were allowed to have it (it was too messy). I also made the homemade stuff that crystallized. I used that stuff to make a volcano for a school science project.
The clay I last used was Sculpy – It was too hard to work right out of the box (except for small pieces) and I wanted to do larger sculptures, so I used a pasta machine that I bought for that purpose (as some might remain entrapped, it’s better to have another to use for food). In the same way, a crock pot is good to pickle metals.
Here in Mexico we call t plastilina, and it can ve very hard sometimes if it is too old or the weather is too cold. And although it is described as non-toxic, I don´t think any child would try to eat it for a second time. Must be made of some kind of parafine or wax.
Plasticine? really? I have never heard of this – I had a non-drying modeling substance (I cannot remember the name! Came in a plastic egg?)(most fun was using it on the Sunday Funnies). I have heard of plasticine – it’s a modeling ‘clay’ explosive. Not something to put on a heater!

If Pla-Doh dries out, just add water/oil.

Before baseboard heaters we had oil fired radiators. They had the same problems as the baseboard type.

Here in the States didn’t plasticine used to be an explosive??
Also, a first cooking lesson for the kids: some things you can’t leave unattended (like bacon, for instance.)

I was expecting Mike to put it in the oven, but I guess baseboard heaters work as well.
