The Great Play Dough Adventure

Most parents take certain things for granted. For M, though, the idea of pulling out a couple of cans of play dough for his entertainment wasn't possible because... Store bought play dough is made of flour. The flour is made of wheat. Wheat contains gluten. Gluten is a no-no.



Kids eat play dough. Have you ever met one who hasn't? For that matter, I'm sure if you reached back into the recesses of your mind you can remember the distinctly salty taste of play dough yourself. I'm right, I know it.



To build childhood memories as normal as possible for the three of them, I pulled out some rice flour, salt, and food coloring and made them some play dough. Of course M ate so much I thought he would get sick from it. But when the Bigs pulled out their play dough toys it all became apparent what the stuff was for. It was for playing and snacking.



Fun memories!
