Gluten Free Play dough

My boy knows he can’t have play dough because it has wheat in it, he points this out to me whenever we see a play dough commercial or see toys for it at Target. I’ve been telling him that we can make some that’s safe and I finally came through with my promise. The recipe is really easy and it’s quick to make. I felt like it wasn’t going to work at first but just keep stirring and you’ll get there. We were able to play with it right away and my girl thought it was good enough to eat, blech. We’ll build up our color options over time but this is a fantastic alternative for him.
