Question

Is children's plasticine considered chametz? I heard that some say it does not become unfit even for a dog. Is it permitted to keep plasticine in the house on Pesach, and how should one treat it before Pesach and during the festival?

Answer

שלום וברכה 

Plasticine contains flour, but it is spoiled and not fit for eating.

There is no problem keeping it at home on Pesach, and there is no need to sell it.

However, some are stringent not to use it, since it sticks to the hands and might get mixed into food.
