While playing with playdoh can give optimal time to address receptive language, expressive language, pragmatic language, sensory, fine motor, gross motor, and handwriting development not all kiddos are able to safely play with it. Sometimes kiddos eat the playdoh or they are gluten sensitivity. Well, we have the solution! Follow the recipe below for some EDIBLE GLUTEN FREE PLAYDOH!

Ingredients:
-Baby rice cereal
-Vegetable oil
-Cornstarch(or gluten-free cornflour if you are in the UK or Australia)
-Unsweetened Applesauce (you can substitute water if you don't have applesauce)
-Food coloring (optional)
Edible Gluten Free Playdoh Recipe
Ingredients:
-Baby rice cereal
-Vegetable oil
-Cornstarch(or gluten-free cornflour if you are in the UK or Australia)
-Unsweetened Applesauce (you can substitute water if you don't have applesauce)
-Food coloring (optional)
In a bowl combine 1 cup of Baby Rice Cereal and 1 cup of Cornstarch. Mix well. Add 1/2 cup unsweetened applesauce (for reference those little lunch sized applesauce happen to be 4 oz = 1/2 cup) and 3 Tablespoons of vegetable oil and any food coloring (if desired). Mix well. I find that kneading by hand is pretty effective, though you could also use a Kitchenaid. The dough should be kneaded (or mixed) until it is smooth and pliable. If it is at all sticky, slowly add more Baby Rice Cereal taking care to knead it completely in before deciding you need more. If the dough is dry and cracking, run your hands under the faucet and knead the dough with your now wet hands.
The dough will keep for several days in the refrigerator. Store in a sealed container or bag and please check for mold or a yucky smell before using it each time (how long it takes to spoil will depend on how clean your kiddos hands are and how warm it is where you live, etc, etc). You will find that the dough is stiffer when it first comes out of the refrigerator - if you knead it to warm it up, it will soon be back to its normal pliable self! If necessary - wet your hands with some water and knead that in.
