Play Dough Activity

I'm teaching a class full of 3 and 4 year olds for homeschool co-op and for an activity, I'm planning on making some sort of play dough with them.

 

Thing is, I don't want to use a bunch of expensive gluten free flour, nor do I want to do anything that requires the stove. I want something relatively simple.

 

Does anybody have a simple, cheap no cook gluten free play dough recipe? Or would you just use regular flour and be careful? None of the kids that I'm teaching have any food issues, I'm only worried about the possibility of me inhaling flour while working with them.

I am going to tell you a top secret trick of this forum.. Shhh!  Go to the main forum page (cause it works best from there, not sure why).  IN the top tight corner is a rectangle "Search".  To the right of it is an teeny tiny little gear .  Click the gear.  You can now search this site.  Put in "Play dough" in quotes in the Find Words space.  Then go way down to "Display Results".  pick as posts - much easier.  Then Search now! 

 

I found this & there were others I stopped looking:

I make the playdough for my son's preschool using the first recipe in the link below. You do have to cook it on the stove for 3 minutes, but since you can mix everything up in the same pot before you cook it, it' really easy.  A couple of tips though - I always slightly overfill the rice flour measure, the cornstarch measure, and go just a little below the 1 cup mark with the water.  Also, don't cook it literally on "low" or  that won't warm it enough.  Once I figured those things out, it comes out perfect everytime.

If the co-op is in your house, I would definitely go with gluten free playdough or the kids will get a nice gluteny coating on everything in the room!

This is more like silly putty but it would be gluten-free

The co-op is not at my house, but I'm definitely going with the "no cook" recipe that I found. So easy and the ingredients were cheap. I really didn't want to use up my Pamela's flour mix on play dough and the recipe that I found used rice cereal and cornstarch.

The recipe worked out really well and the kids really loved it! I picked up some more ingredients and made a few batches with my own kids later in the day too.

      Taking Probiotics but Still Getting Sick After Gluten – Advice?

      By Xravith · Posted

      My genetic test results have arrived - I’m homozygous for DQB1*02, meaning I have HLA-DQ2. I’ve read that this is one of the genes most strongly associated with celiac disease, and my symptoms are very clear. I’m relieved that the results finally arrived, as I was getting quite worried since my symptoms have been getting worse. Next step, blood test. What do these results imply? What should I tell my family? I’m concerned that this genetic predisposition might also affect other family members.

      High DGP-A with normal IGA

      So far 3 months in - worsening symptoms. I have had the worst constipation in my life and I am primarily eating naturally gluten-free foods like potatoes, eggs, salad with homemade dressing, corn tortillas, etc. I hate gluten-free bread and pasta so I don't eat it. Occasionally I eat gluten-free almond flour crackers. As stated in the post, I don't have any vitamin deficiency. I was already tested.

      Talk to your  Talk to your provider about testing for vitamin and mineral deficiency.  celiac disease causes malabsorption and eventually malnutrition.  Especially vitamin D. Having the gallbladder removed seems to be a common step on the way to a Celiac Disease Diagnosis,  Gallbladder is a sympton of deficient Choline. Eggs and red meat are the primary source..Choline makes up a majority of the bile salts.  The bile gets thick, doesn't get enough into intestine to digest fats well.  Can eventually back up into gallbladder, cause gallstones.  Without bile, bowel movements can become hard. Try to avoid all processed foods while you are healing, The gluten-free foods are not fortified with vitamins and use various ingredients to mimic fat that bothers many Celiacs.  Choose vegatables with low omega 6.  Optimum omega 6 to omega 3 ratio is less than 3:1.  Wheat flour is 22:1.  Grass fed milk is 1:1.   Commercial Dairies milk is 5:1.  They feed wheat, rye and barley Gluten as part of the food mix.
