Re: Playdough disaster...please help!

[Guest guest]

The best recipe for playdough I have used is in ' book and

it's called Play Clay. I don't have the recipe with me here at work,

but it has rice flour, salt, cream of tartar, oil and corn starch in

it... You cook it on the stove top and it thickens up like magic. I

use food coloring that is GFCF and my son loves this stuff.

I will try to bring this recipe with me tomorrow and post it.
