Getting dried in play doh off the carpet?

We do have a mat to play with this on, but my 2 year old is a rebel! Anyone got any tips? I've just read up on Stardrops, would that do the trick? :)

  • Don't clean it with anything I would say let it dry completely and try and get out with a stiff brush and vacuum up

    Put brown paper over it & use a warm iron. As it warms it will stick to the brown paper & lift off.

    Be careful with the iron... is that not meant to be for wax? Would play dough melt that much? I would go for the drying out technique as I find that works well.
    I would worry that any colour would come out of the play dough if you melt it.
