This website gives a list of desired colors and the foods you can get them

from. Boiling the beets with vingear will work better. This website provides

information on an SCD compatable easter egg dying mechanism, but can be adapted

for other foods! I would filter it, say, if I were to make a frosting or a play

doh, as described.

Beet juice makes a wonderful dye, you can also add in powdered mustard or

powdered tumeric.

Anyone have recommendation on natural color dyes? My son's teacher is asking

me to provide a recipe for play doe and I am thinking since he isn't eating

it, it can be made with rice flour and cream of tarter? He doesn't put his

hands in his mouth. But I don't know about the dyes and I feel nervous about

them.

Also, what about creams (shaving and lotion), soaps, etc.?
