Making your own play dough is fun because the kids can participate in the process too. My son has been recently diagnosed with wheat allergy and I just realized today that it of course means that he can't use the regular wheat play dough we used to make (it took me a few months to connect the dots!), or even the store bought ones I guess. I found this recipe online and we made it since my son is home with a cold (he started this fall in a Montessori school!) It turned out ok, a little stickier than the one with wheat. It sticks to the table at least now when still a little warm so I am not completely happy with it but it is better than nothing!
I got the recipe from here.
Gluten Free Play Dough
1/2 cup rice flour
1/2 cup corn starch
1/2 cup salt
2 tsp cream of tartar
1 cup water
1 tsp cooking oil
Food coloring (optional, try also cooking spinach or beets in the water you use for natural color)
Mix ingredients. Cook and stir on low heat for 3 minutes or until mixture forms a ball. Cool completely before storing in a sealable plastic bag (or a jar you can close, Sirpa's note).
