FOR THE CHILDREN..
I should have thought of this before the holidays, oh well, these hot days, children need lots to occupy them, and playing and making things is beneficial. How about making some GF PLAY DOUGH. You cannot guarantee the play dough on the market is GF - you don't think of it as food, but children have been known to nibble.
Add the following ingredients in the order I have them here, to a saucepan over gentle heat until they are smooth and blended.
*blend the water into the flour a bit at a time to get a smooth paste, then add the rest of the ingredients, then put it on the stove.
*2 cups of GF flour, 2 cups of warm water, t tablespoons of vegetable oil, 2 tablespoon of GF cream of tartar (a powder you can get from the jam making section of the supermarket), 1 cup of salt. (food colourings if you require these).
Keep stirring until the mixture is pliable like a bread dough, then remove from the heat, place in a ceramic bowl and knead, punch and then shape it into balls the size of a small fist. To store your Play Dough, wrap each ball in clingwrap and store in an airtight container so that it doesn't dry out.
If you want to colour this mix, you can add food colourings, but go very gently, a tiny drop is all that is needed. Make a ball of each colour, and keep them separate in the fridge by wrapping each ball in clingwrap etc as above.
