Just like to point out that playdough is food, since it's made with food ingredients.

::I can see our assessors asking what our play dough is made from..:: I have the original play dough so I have never been asked...

It's made out of the same ingredients basically.

I had a dc parent ask me not to use it because it is food and it was disrespectful to use it as a toy when there are people who do not have enough to eat.

Do you(not you you but everybody you)realize how disrespectful it is to not eat everything on your plate? Or spend money frivolously? Or go to the movies at 10 bucks a pop instead of donating? Or even the Food Program, serving food to the dcks we *know* they won't eat?

Noodles! Think of the things we can't do with noodles anymore??

The more I read, the more I want to go underground. Not really. But if my state ever got to this point, I'd definitely do something different.

Some ideas (obviously not intended to be used all together...)

Pipecleaners--for stringing your loose parts, or wrapping them up.

Tongs--for picking up the loose parts.

Bowls or baskets--for sorting into.

Water--for floating and sinking your loose parts.

Shaving cream--for burying the loose parts and finding them again.

Long tubes (wrapping paper)--for sliding things through.

And check out this guy for some awesome ideas:

non- food is aquarium rocks but I feel those could be dangerous Bigger rocks but those aren't as tactile.

food- oats They have an awesome feel.

This whole food for art debate has been going on for years! Unfortunately, there aren't any real good substitutes for the play you can have with food objects I have cornstarch sitting here waiting to make obleck. Now is that food? We "can" eat it but not in it's actual state - bleh. Or is it a chemical compound that we are using in a science experiment. (c6h10o5.) I am do not yet have to follow that regulation but it would be interesting if you labeled it as such if it would still be considered "food". It is a powdery white substance that you purchased for a science experiment.
