Thanks so much for posting this information. This will make my life easier. Do you purchase supplies just for your daughter or do you by extra for the class? This fall will be our first year of pre-school and I'm a little nervous!!!!

[mike and dante]

Hi there,thanks sooo much for all the info on paints and supplies. It's nice that we

all stick together and help eachother out.!!

[Guest nini]

Thanks for that list... My daughter will be starting kindergarten in several weeks and I will be doing back to school shopping soon!

[JacobsMom]

Thanks alot...I am a newbie and have a 2 1/2 year old...This is GREAT!!!

[tpineo]

I buy some things for the whole class (like the gluten-free play dough-it is a huge container). For the things that come up once a year -like cereal or pasta for a craft -I usually just bring in some for her. Most of what the preschool she attends has is okay because this is her second year and they make sure to order the basics from crayola or another gluten-free source (I have a wonderful preschool!).

My best advice for dealing with a preschool is to maintain contact with the teachers as they plan for activities. Make sure they are comfortable calling you (home/cell), e-mailing, and talking before/after school about what is coming up. And leave a box of stuff at school: bandaids, gluten-free cookies or candies for that surprise that will come up, regular snacks for every day, change of undies/clothes if "accidents" are still an issue.

Thanks for the list! You just saved me hours of searching

Hi there:

The list below says that the Crayola modelling products are gluten free. They do not have added gluten but they do have cross-contamination issues. This was confirmed to me by a representative on the telephone and here is what their own website says....

Answer

The exact ingredients of our products are proprietary, however, we are happy to provide you with the 7 most common ingredient requests NOT FOUND in products currently manufactured by Crayola--This does not include products manufactured under license. Please check packaging carefully to determine manufacturing company.

Peanuts

Shellfish

Fish

Tree Nuts

Eggs

Milk

Latex

(Latex gloves are one of the personal protection options requested by and available to our employees for the occasional handling of raw materials and finished goods during the product manufacturing process.)

We are often asked if any of our products contain gluten (wheat flour). Gluten is contained only in Crayola Dough. Other Crayola modeling materials, including Model Magic modeling compound, Modeling Clay, Air-Dry Clay, and Model Magic Fusion are gluten free. All of these products, however, are produced on the same machinery. Although the machines are cleaned prior to the start of each production run, there is a slight possibility that trace amounts of gluten from Crayola Dough may be present in the other modeling compound products.

For information regarding specific ingredients not listed, please call us at 1-800-272-9652 weekdays between 9 AM and 4 PM Eastern Time.

[tpineo]

Please note the date on the list- I made this list in 2005. There have been many changes in products since then. Contact manufacturers for current information. My current list is several pages now and dated May 2009 (too long to post). E-mail me if you'd me to send it to you. Tania

Yes, always check the date of posts here. What could have been a safe product in 2005, may not be 2009.

Thanks Tania for sharing your current information.

Hi Tania,

I'm new to the group and read your old list of Gluten Free Wheat Free products posted in 2005. I would greatly appreciate it if you could email me your most current list which you mention below as last updated and dated May 2009. We have a 3 year old grandson who was diagnosed with Autism and is allergic to many foods especially Gluten/Wheat/Casein/Diary. Your list is invaluable and is much appreciated. Thank you again. Hoping you can email the list to my gmail account.

Hello,

I too am working on gluten free (also dairy and egg free) supplies for a first grader and a preschooler. I would be thrilled to get a copy of your list. I have been e-mailing and calling companies, but your work could save me hours (maybe days!).

Thanks!

Tolly

[Grandmadd]

Thank you so much for the updated list. This information is priceless as are folks like you who are so willing to share helpful information. Thanks again.

[Tolly]

Thank you again for the helpful information! I'm wondering if you know about Yes! paste. I'm trying to find an option for my 2 year old in his pre-school class. I found recipes for making paper mache, but I was hoping to find a suitable paste for their class. I e-mailed the makers of Yes! paste (Gane Bothers & Lane), and this is the reply:

The ingredients are: water, dextrin, borax, glucose, glycerin and preservatives. I just want you to know that I can not guarantee that this product is gluten/dairy/egg free.

Any thoughts?

Thanks again!

Does anyone know about ink pads? My dd's teacher called to find out about them & has many different brands. I called one, Center Enterprises, & they said "well, if you're concerned about it, then don't use it" Hmmm, nice response I'm guessing they're not willing to actually look into it for me.

I might just have to get a list from the teacher, but that seems like an awful lot of work on her part, plus she shares supplies with another teacher. sigh.

I wanted to update this list with a few things I researched independently since they weren't covered on the list. They were confirmed by e-mail or phone in late August.

Plaid Paints - Makes Apple Barrel- sold at Walmart is gluten/dairy/egg free

Rich Art tempera paint, sold at Michael's craft stores is gluten/dairy/egg free.

Prang paints - all are gluten/dairy/egg free

Now to start working on the stickers......

Thanks again for this list!

Thank you for posting this list! I thought we had our bases covered at pre-school but after my 3yo had 2 "abnormal" bm's after art class today, I'm questioning if she was glutened. So although I will specifically look at the bottles of paint they used (tempura or finger), I can also give them this more robust list of items to use as a reference. Good stuff!
