GF Playdough

1/2 c rice flour

1/2 c corn starch

1/2 c salt

2 tsp. cream of tartar

1 cup water

1 tsp. cooking oil

colorings can be added

Cook and stir on low heat for 3 minutes or until it forms a ball.

Taken from " Gluten Free News " Spring 1996 issue

In rereading my notes I see that the recipe I used was the same, except

it called for corn flour rather than corn starch. I stirred it over low

heat until it couldn't be stirred any longer, then kneaded in more white

rice flour by hand. It was still sticky so I sat it in a ziploc freezer

bag for 2 days at room temperature and then it seemed to be OK. Mine

lasted 5 years, kept in a freezer ziploc bag in the frig when not in use.

I do not know safe forms of coloring for our kids but one might check a

guide for natural dyes to see what they suggest which might be safe for

our kids.
