Hi, I’m Michelle

Hi, I’m the creator behind HEY Dough — a mom based in Langford, BC with a passion for simple, meaningful play. Inspired by my five-year-old son’s love for sensory activities and tiny treasures, I began creating handmade play dough kits designed to spark imagination and keep little hands busy. Every kit is thoughtfully handcrafted in small batches using non-toxic ingredients, soft scents, and playful themes that encourage creativity, learning, and calm, open-ended play. What started as a fun idea at home has grown into a brand built around nostalgia, connection, and the magic of childhood.

More Than Just Play Dough

It’s Hey Dough!

Hey Dough is handcrafted using my mom’s trusted kindergarten classroom recipe — a play dough she used with her students for over 35 years. Combined with themed sensory treasures and imaginative play, each kit is designed to inspire creativity, learning, and meaningful childhood moments far beyond ordinary play dough.

Simple play

Thoughtfully handmade sensory dough designed to bring children back to the joy of simple, screen-free play. Soft textures, gentle scents, and imaginative themes create meaningful moments little ones can enjoy again and again.

Endless possibilities

From storytelling and pretend play to fine motor practice and sensory exploration, every HEY Dough kit encourages open-ended creativity where little imaginations can lead the way.
