This is The BEST Gluten Free Playdough Recipe! EASY to make and you don't have to worry if your little one samples a bite...or two. Vegan & Food Safe.
Ingredients
- 2 Cups Baking Soda
- 1 Cup Cornstarch
- 1 ¼ Cups Water
- 5-10 drops of Food Coloring (per color)
Instructions
- In medium pot, whisk together all ingredients (except food coloring).
- Place pot on stovetop over medium heat.
- Stir constantly until mixture begins to thicken and has the consistency of mashed potatoes.
- Remove from heat and turn out onto a cutting board to cool completely before adding food coloring.
- Divide dough into 4 equal portions and roll into a ball. Press your finger down into the top of each ball to make a deep impression to drop your food coloring into.
- Drop 5-10 drops of one color into each ball, and knead well until color is thoroughly incorporated. We recommend protecting your countertop surface and putting on rubber gloves to protect your them from staining.
Notes
Playdough creations can be left out to dry, but be sure to store any unused dough in an airtight container or ziploc bag.

Thank you for the GF play dough recipe, I’m anxious to give it a try. Do you have a natural alternative to traditional food coloring dyes to recommend? I looked on Amazon but it’s so confusing.

This recipe is wonderful! I may have cooked it a little bit too long because I needed to add more water to it once it cooled to make it softer. But once I did that, it was perfect! And a fun little experiment to make with my daughter. It’s like oobleck when you first mix it together… very fun to punch for a 3 year old! Thanks for sharing this recipe. Will definitely use it again.

This is my new go-to playdough recipe! My 18 month old is allergic to wheat so I’ve been looking for an alternative recipe. This gluten free playdough turned out amazing and I didn’t have to use expensive gluten free flour! A few cheap ingredients turned out super smooth playdough that my kids loved rolling, kneading and creating with.

Have you ever tried adding some oil to this to help it from drying out? The natural stuff I have been buying dries out so fast compared to the play-doh brand. I’m hoping to make my own because it’s so expensive to get the good stuff.
