Clay Dough
1 Cup White Rice Flour
1 Cup Salt
3/4 Cup Water
1. Mix all ingredients together in a bowl. Roll the dough into a firm ball. If the mixture is too crumbly, add additional water 1 teaspoon at a time.
2. Have children make snowmen, or use cookie cutters to make shapes.
3. Line cookie sheet with tin foil and let dry completely, for at least 1 day.
4. If you'd like, you can bake the clay dough at 200 degrees F for about 30 minutes before painting.
UPDATE:
We made the Clay Dough and it turned out pretty good!
The directions said to add more water if it was crumbly, and mine was weak and sticky so I ended up adding more rice flour. The boys had fun with it. Their creations are now drying and waiting to be painted.
Here's what it looked like:

Please don't ask me what their "art" is. I think it's abstract:

I've never heard of salt dough before, but if it's something to play with I think Kayla would enjoy this!
This is something that we do not always think about. I have a blog with lots of salt dough gift ideas and did not realise that the flour can even cause problems in this way.
Would you mind if I link to your blog and maybe we can help other parents who have children with the same problem??
I am really interested in knowing how the dough turned out.
Stay well
Feel free to link! I'll let you know how things turned out. Gluten Free doesn't always equal success :)
Gosh I remember making salt dough for my boys when they were little! It would keep them occupied for hours making all kinds of things with it:-)
Looks like fun! I'm definitely going to have to try this with Kayla!
