'Clay' and 'Slime' on Passover

Question

Are toys that children play with, called 'clay' or 'slime', considered chametz?

Answer

Hello 

Even if they contain chametz, since they became unfit for animal consumption before Passover, it is permitted to keep them in the house. 

However, one should not handle them during Passover, for fear that they might stick to the hand and enter food.
