If you are like most people, you would never imagine that play dough could possibly ever hurt a child. Unfortunately that's not the case when it comes to our gluten-sensitive kids. It's full of gluten that is harmful to children with gluten intolerances. Once I found this out, I quickly donated my cupboard full to our neighbors. What to do now? The kids love it and I have all these darn plastic accessories with nothing to smash through them. I soon found out that there were a couple of options. The first option was to go out and buy some gluten free play dough from a store. I have included two links if you would like to explore this option. Aroma Dough & Colorations. They look like great products, but I chose a more cost effective measure for the "Jones Gang". I did a search on the web and found a recipe that's so easy, it's crazy! So give the following a whirl. I think you'll find out that the kids will never know the difference. Enjoy!
