When he saw what was left of the nuts he said-mom is that playdoh? I told him no and he said, it looks like playdoh, can we play with it? They had a ball playing with that stuff. Granted, after a while it does get a little crumbly as it dries, but for them it was a great playdoh substitute. I am not sure how long it keeps and I would recommend only doing it over a hard surface floor! Mandy Hi Everyone, > > My son's OT wants him to play with Theraputty (it's like clay).

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 I have ordered some from Preston if you want to google them and contact them. If anyone finds out anything on the theraputty, please share. Rob's mom - Hi Everyone, > > My son's OT wants him to play with Theraputty (it's like clay).

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 In terms of the Specific Carbohydrate Diet, we don't need to worry about what is in something like playdoh or clay.... UNLESS the child is likely to eat it. I know some of you moms have to worry about extreme sensitivity to certain things... especially gluten.... and skin contact, but this is not an SCD issue. If your child cannot touch gluten, I would simply call the manufacturer and tell them you need to know exactly what's in it. Patti RE: Re: Theraputty?

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 BUT they all put their hands in mouth so I never allowed my daughter to play with it at daycare. I don't have playdough in the house either. I had the daycare make a rice flour one but that is off limits now too. So my kids paly extra long at the beach when we go to florida to make up for this...LOL! Cheers!

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 If your kids can do nuts, why not let them mold nut butter (with something mixed in so it's not so sticky). Then they can have fun eating their creations. Also a queston: is Bentonite Clay allowed? I thought that I read it was. If it is, does that make all natural clay OK? If not, does bentonite come in a moldable form? Just some ideas. I don't want to lead anyone astray if clay is not allowed. Although I don't have kids, I have taught kids in day care and preschool and I know the importance of playdough. -Sharon wife of Adam with Crohn's - SCD less than 6 months > > > >I am not sure about Theraputty, but the other day I made cashew milk > with my younger son looking on.

Guest guest Posted August 5, 2006 Report Share Posted August 5, 2006 Clay .... bentonite or otherwise.... is not something that is EATEN on SCD. I don't believe it is officially legal or illegal... it's just not a food, so is not classified as something to eat. If you're asking if it's " allowed " as a modeling compound, then I don't see why you couldn't use it. Patti Re: Theraputty? Also a queston: is Bentonite Clay allowed? I thought that I read it was.
