I am not a mom yet, but when I heard a few months ago, that play-doh is packed full of wheat, I felt something die in my heart. I imagined myself with doctor gloves, struggling to keep them on while playing with my future kids. Today I had a taste of it when my niece Jade asked me to get some out of the tube for her. I wanted so bad to just sit with her and create little dinosaurs with her. But no. I stayed far far away.
If you know your kids have them, and worry about them eating it or getting rashes on their hands (which you should), make your own! I found a recipe for gluten-free kind here .
Gluten-Free Play Dough |
Ingredients: ½ cup rice flour ½ cup cornstarch ½ cup salt 2 teaspoons cream of tartar 1 cup water 1 teaspoon cooking oil Food coloring, if desired Directions: Mix ingredients. Cook and stir on low heat for 3 minutes or until it forms a ball. Cool completely before storing in a sealable plastic bag. |
