Safe playdough. My little guy never ate the playdough at church or play groups, but just playing with it would cause an eczema flare up even when we washed immediately. I seached out some recipes and started playing in the kitchen so he could have his own stash of playdough. Gluten free playdough is fun and simple to make. I took the recipes I found and adapted to what I had available in my kitchen. Then we all pitched in to mix this up.
Fun Play Dough
1 c. Rice Flour, Sorghum Flour, or gluten free flour blend
1 c. Cornstarch
1 c. Salt
4 Tblsp. Cream of Tartar
2 c. Boiling Water
2 Tblsp. Canola Oil
Packet of Koolaid (unsweetened)
1 c. Rice Flour, Sorghum Flour, or gluten free flour blend
1 c. Cornstarch
1 c. Salt
4 Tblsp. Cream of Tartar
2 c. Boiling Water
2 Tblsp. Canola Oil
Packet of Koolaid (unsweetened)
Mix all the ingredients, adding in the boiling water last. Mix until well combined. Store in an air tight container or plastic zip bag.
I used mostly sorghum in our playdough with just a bit of rice flour mixed in. It worked perfectly, had a pleasant texture and weeks later the playdough is still soft, pliant, and sweet smelling.
