Yes, you could bring Play-Doh in your carry on bags and checked-in bags on a plane.

Play-Doh isn't flammable or hazardous material. It isn't on the prohibited items list, and it isn't a liquid either.

The plastic container of Play-Doh has a resemblance to plastic explosives, but you could wrap it in a plastic bag and label it C-4, indicating it is for children ages 4 and up.

What toys do children prefer on a plane?

There was an experiment done in 2014 by Professor Robert Winston aka Mr. Mega Mooustache with British Airways.

The social experiment was done with 30 kids ages 2 to 10 years old. It was a 2 hours experiment on a flight and what toys kids prefer to have with them on a flight.

The result of what the kids needed on a plane was the following:

  • Loom Bands
  • Playdoh
  • Lego
  • Top Trumps
  • Uno
  • Usborne Activity Cards
  • Magnetic Travel Game
  • Aquadoodle
  • Finger Puppets
  • Stickerbook

According to the TSA website, Play-doh is allowed on a plane. However, the final decision would depend on the TSA officer who would screen you through.

On the website on takeonaplane.com, it's stated likewise that:

  • It is allowed to bring Play-Doh with you or in your hand luggage without any restrictions.
  • It is allowed to take Play-Doh in your checked baggage.

Why is Play-Doh one of the favorite in-flight of kids?

Play-Doh is not just a favorite in-flight toy but an all-time toy anytime and anywhere.
It's entertaining, and it could keep any kid busy for hours. On a flight and the tray table down, kids could roll out the doh and start creating and playing with it.
