Has anyone found airtight plastic jars to hold the playdoh instead of the sealable plastic bags it comes with? The bags are a wee bit cumbersome.

I haven't thought about it as we have not worked with the play dough yet. It sounds like a good idea to put it in containers. I only have my granddaughters a couple of days a week, so we are still making the other projects. We have not had the time to work with the play dough.

What my daughter in law did was buy plastic (like Tupperware) containers at Walmart and used that it was fairly cheap .

Yep, here's a link to them... http://www.amazon.com/Ball-Wide-Mouth-Plastic-Storage-8-Count/dp/B000SSN3L2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1381231217&sr=8-1&keywords=plastic+ball+jar+lids

I just tried one in the wastebasket and a plastic grocery sack fits very well with the top of the bag at the top of the wastebasket and the handles hanging over each end. Hope this helps.

I atore lego toys un plastic containers like tupperware. I also glue some parts of the toy so it will not come fully apart when playing with it or store more than one in the same box.

I store my salt in a jar with a sealed lid. I have a FoodSaver and store mostly everything in jars with sealed lids. Plastic bags should be used as little as possible. My son keeps a little wooden container nearby to use when he's cooking. I've never had an issue with mold, most likely because the air has been removed.

I use a lightweight plastic bag, but had trouble with static cling, so I added an old used Bounce sheet and it works just fine. I empty the plastic bag into trash, but save the Bounce sheet in bag.

Normally I buy the large 5lb plastic jar (tub) which I store in the refrigerator after opening. If you don't have one, try Tupperware or gladware.

Yes they do? I really like replacing the metal ring to the plastic after opening the jar. For example pickles, when not consuming the entire jar. I will replace with the plastic. Just keep in mind these plastic covers are for storage only and will not seal like the metal in the canning process. The Plastic is great for dry storage spices, pasta, rice in the quart or pint jars when you plan opening the jar often

That was difficult for me too. I tried the "push button" method like with metal lids but that didn't work so well. After the jars had cooled off, (a couple of hours) I lightly pulled on the lid. there were a couple of lids that seemed sealed but when I was putting them away, the lid came off. I really didn't have any more failed seals than with the metal lids, just harder to tell.

I don't think the plastic is any stronger than rubbermaid container. I'm not even 100% sure it's air tight. But, I am happy with it. Might check it out at a local petsmart or petco (I can't remember which carried it) before ordering it. Amazon sent me a damaged one anyway but Bergan replaced it for me.

I found a California Innovations jug in DVD similar to the Artic Zone jug. I've had it for about ten yrs now & it's great in the summer because mine has a shoulder strap. You might want to find a smaller one for kids

Yes there is a clear plastic seal. It isn't so tight it is hard to get off, but I think it is pretty airtight. The jar is huge, wish I would have gotten a little smaller one. But, I do like it.

One bag is good but have two on hand. You would want playsand available at Toys R Us.

Well I have experienced a couple different situations with these. One pack I received seemed to fit properly in the container they come in. The last pack I received seemed too large for the cheap plastic container they come in so the container does not close properly. Either way the container they come in is not air-tight so I would recommend storing them in a plastic baggie or small airtight container.

I am sorry to hear that, for you and for me! I bought 7 of them. Lost 1 jar due to a branch hitting it. (High Winds)We get raccoons so I automatically added bungie cords around the jars and boxes. Also, we did notice the staples and added nails and put them up on the trees with screws.I decided when I need replacements I will get plastic gallon jars through uline.comYou can get a case of replacements for 10-15 dollars! They have a 4" mouth and I will just make the box opening a little wider.Good luck!! �

Idk. I've been having trouble with mine. The bags aren't holding a seal. They must have holes and I only used them once.

I think you could use a heat sealer to seal the bags. I bought a couple when I purchased the bags but haven't used them yet. It just seems a lot easier and funner to tie them. Also the contents in the bag expand a lot after they are frozen so I would only fill them a little over half full and leave some room at the top for expansion.
