Gluten free playdough!

5 replies

Hi all!I am a reception teacher and I make my own playdough. However, there is an autistic girl in my class who tends to eat it! She is on a strict gluten free diet so I want to make some gluten free playdough. The trouble is that I suspect it is the gluten in the flour that gives the playdough its stretchy doughy consistency. Is it possible to make playdough with gluten free flour? Has anyone tried it or come up with a good alternative?
Thanks

Other than the fact that isn't GF flour, that recipe isn't any different to the one I use for normal playdough.
