Here are a couple of links for recipes for gluten free playdough...

this one from doves
(and that is gluten free flour of course - Doves
manufacture it).

or this one .

maybe not intended for eating but children do put their hands in their mouths!

oops...should have added, so yes, playdough is potentially a problem for some as most commercial varieties contain gluten.
