Gluten-Free Playdough

GREAT recipe for gluten-free playdough from http://www.thenourishinggourmet.com/2012/09/gluten-free-playdough.html.

We made this in my classroom on Monday.  The pink color is perfect for Valentine's Day.  Smells yummy too.  Enjoy!

Gluten-Free Playdough
Ingredients:
½ cup of white rice flour
½ cup of cornstarch
2 teaspoons cream of tartar
½ cup of salt
2 teaspoons of oil
1 cup of water

1. In a small pot, combine the dry ingredients and give it a whisk. Add the water and oil, and whisk until smooth.
2. Put over low heat on the stove, and stir with a wooden spoon. It will slowly thicken and start pulling away from the sides of the pot. You know it’s done when you lift a large spoonful of the playdough and it doesn’t drip at all, but remains a firm ball. Remove from heat and allow to cool.
3. Once cool enough to touch, you can knead in more starch or flour to firm it up, if necessary.

Keep well wrapped, and it will keep indefinitely.

To color:
Pink: Add three bags of raspberry tea to 1 cup of hot water. Brew for ten minutes. Use in place of the water in the recipe.
