Is play dough recipe healthy for an 18-months old?

I have an 18 months old daughter and my mom has advised me to prepare play dough for her, as she needs some playful things to keep herself engaged in something constructive through toys. I have never tried play dough before, and I want to know about the play dough recipe. Moreover, I want to clarify if its a healthy recipe, because I know that my daughter, like many other toddlers, keep anything and everything she gets, in her mouth. Could someone please elaborate?
