Standard Play-Doh is made with wheat flour as a primary ingredient, which is a real consideration for children with celiac disease, since young children often put their hands in their mouths during and after play.
Gluten-free alternatives exist
Several gluten-free modeling compound alternatives are available and widely sold specifically for this reason — worth keeping in mind for schools and childcare settings as well as at home.
