Homemade Gluten Free Playdough
"I got this off of Pinterest, from Julie Matthews. I've made playdough before like this, but it was with regular flour, so I'm eager to try this version."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Add all dry ingredients in a pot. Add vegetable oil, then the water, and continue to mix until thoroughly combined.
Step 2
Then turn on heat. Heat the pot on the stove over low heat – stir continuously for about 3 minutes. When the dough pulls away from the sides into a big ball, place dough into glass bowl.
Step 3
Once cool enough to handle, divide into 3-5 pieces. Add several drops of natural food coloring to the ball and massage until you get the color you desire. I like to make an indentation in the ball, drop in the food coloring, fold the ball over so the color is in the middle, and slowly knead until color is blended. If the dough is too wet, add cornstarch. If it’s too dry, massage in a bit of water.
Step 4
I find that when I add coloring it gets a bit too wet and sticky. I usually let is dry out for a few hours here and there (maybe 2 or 3 hours a few times – too many hours and it will get crusty around the edges).
Step 5
Store in an airtight container. I do not store mine in the refrigerator and it stays very fresh.
