Many pre-schools and kindergartens use Play Dough for tactile learning and exploration. Unfortunately, Play Dough cannot be enjoyed by some children with wheat allergies. Fortunately, there is a homemade wheat-free recipe that approximates the qualities of Play Dough:

1/2 c. rice flour

1/2 c. corn starch

1/2 c. salt

2 tsp. cream of tarter

1 c. water

1 tsp oil

Cook and stir on low for 3 minutes or until it forms a ball. Add food coloring as needed.
