Homemade Allergy-Free Play Doh

BROWN RICE FLOUR PLAY DOUGH (GLUTEN- FREE)

  • 1 CUP brown rice flour
  • 1 CUP corn starch
  • 1 CUP salt
  • 4 tsp. cream of tartar
  • 2 CUPS water
  • 2 tsp. cooking oil *we used vegetable oil and it worked perfectly-but you can change this to accommodate allergies if need be.

Cook all ingredients over low heat until you can form a ball. Please make sure it is cool before you remove the Play Dough from the pot. When cool, store in a zipper plastic bag. It will seem as if the Play Dough will never form a ball- HANG IN THERE- it will, it just takes it’s sweet time.

I was so disappointed to see that Play Doh in the stores is made with Gluten and therefore would cause a horrific allergy attack for both of my little toddlers. I am so happy that this recipe is so easy to use and SAFE for both of my children. We use play mats for the surface area-cookie cutters and cupcake liners.

Do you want to build a snowman?!?

Proud of making a Christmas Tree.

We usually do crafts right after breakfast, before we head off on our adventure for the day. AND they love doing a quiet craft after they wake up from their naps. Play dough is so easy to use and clean up.
