Guest guest Posted October 13, 2001 Report Share Posted October 13, 2001 Phyllis, could you send me the recipe for the playdough. Seth is getting to the age where playdough would be fun for him, but I don't want Ross to get into the normal playdough.

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 I got the original recipe from a book called, " Raising your Spirited Child " that I bought back before I heard of DSI or AS. The original recipe calls for flour, but I substituted Bette Hagman's Four Bean Flour (?). Any GFCF all purpose mix would probably be okay. The original recipe was this: 2 1/2 cups flour 1/2 cup salt 2 packages dry unsweetened Kool-Aid 2 cups boiling water 3 tablespoons oil Mix the dry ingredients together in a bowl. Mix the liquids together and pour into the dry ingredients. Stir until it forms a ball (at first it will appear as if it will never make a smooth mixture). As the mixture cools and becomes less sticky, take it out of the bowl and knead until it is smooth. To make it GFCF I started with the 2 1/2 cups Bette Hagmans and I added 2 tsps of xanthum gum (not sure if I needed to or not, but I thought it couldnt hurt). Then I Mixed it like it said above, but it was coming out too watery (like a lot of homemade GFCF playdoughs seem to) so I just kept adding more flour (1 tbsp at a time) and then mixing, until it was the consistency I liked. I probably ended up with a total of 3 - 3 1/4 cups of flour instead of 2 1/2, but the kids love it and it smells really good too. Put it into an airtight container when not in use. ===== Phyllis Parmelee Visit my website: THE 100 ACRE WOOD CHILD CARE - My Brand New Website Like my website? Want to know how you can get one, too?

Guest guest Posted October 14, 2001 Report Share Posted October 14, 2001 Thanks so much!! I can't wait to try it out! Does it work like regular playdough, ex- in the playdough toys, etc?

Guest guest Posted October 15, 2001 Report Share Posted October 15, 2001 Yes, it does. It is terrific. It works even better then real playdough in the playdough toys because it isnt as hard and it is easier for the kids to use and push through the little holes. My 2 year old loves using the dough and cookie cutters with it. I also made chocolate playdough with hersheys cocoa, but I havent done a GFCF version yet. ===== Phyllis Parmelee Visit my website: THE 100 ACRE WOOD CHILD CARE - My Brand New Website Like my website?
