Preschool Art Supplies

My daughter started preschool this week. I've already purchased gluten-free playdough for her classroom. Are there other art/craft supplies that may contain gluten? What about finger paint and glue? I've already reviewed the potential danger of doing crafts with pasta, cereal, etc. The preschool has been very accomodating to my child's needs so far.

I know Elmer's glue is gluten-free.....and that's good to get a gluten-free play doh, which typically is not gluten-free.

I have a list of elmers gluten free products and it says everything is gluten free except finger paints for them.

For crayola it is everything except the dough

At last check Ross and Elmer finger paints were NOT gluten-free. Crayola dough was not gluten-free. All other Crayola and Elmer products were gluten-free. All Palmer Paints were gluten-free.

It would be a good idea to check the hand soap and toothpaste they use if they have the children brushing after meals (we have this at our school).

Our teacher has given me a list of the birthdays in the classroom. Since parents typically send in cupcakes or such on their child's birthday, I know ahead of time which day I send in a gluten-free item for my girls.

If they have parties etc. for the class, I send in gluten-free treats on a colored platter tray. My girls they know that they can have the items on that try and it helps the tray stand out more so it's a good reminder for the teachers. For Halloween, Easter, and the other holidays, if candy is involved, I have told the teachers I would provide it. It gets pricey throughout the year for the gluten-free parent but compared to gluten-free ingestion, we all know it's worth it.

I hope she enjoys preschool!

Yep to all the above, and I've just recently run into a very "natural" watercolor set made in Germany with natural ingredients, and you guessed it, wheat is one of those ingredients.......(sigh)

I have a list of common school supplies that are gluten-free, but when I try to c&p it here for some reason, it won't let me.

aaaaack, since my puter won't let me c&p for some weird reason, I was trying to go back and forth between the open file and this board and typing in the list by hand one at a time and my computer locked up!!!!!!!!! I just got back up...

ok, from what I can remember, the list said Elmers washable glue is gluten-free, Crayola Crayons, Markers, and Paints are gluten-free, as is the Play Clay, but NOT the Play Dough as that contains Wheat. Prism Brand paints are gluten-free

Hope that helps.

      I'm sorry to hear about what you're going through. It must be really frustrating and uncomfortable. Have you talked to your healthcare provider about these sudden sweating episodes? It might be helpful to discuss this with them to rule out any other underlying issues or to see if there are specific strategies or treatments that can help manage this symptom. Additionally, staying hydrated and wearing breathable clothing may provide some relief.

      I am not sure where you are going, but we have articles in this section which may be helpful: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/gluten-free-travel/

      There are supplements available that can help breakdown minor amounts of gluten such as you might experience with cross contamination when dining out and you order gluten free items from a menu. But they will not help when larger amounts of gluten are consumed. One such product that many on this forum attest to as having helped them in this regard is GliadinX. The inventor of GlidinX is one our forum sponsors so you should know that.

      There is such a thing, believe it or not, called gluten withdrawal. Gluten has addictive properties similar to opiates. I know it sounds bizarre but research it. Also, are you compensating for the loss of vitamins and minerals you were getting from the FDA mandated fortified wheat flour products you were formerly consuming?
