Only a few responded here (none concerning the temporary tatoos -- several asked to let them know about this) o use GF shampoos since they are absorbed into the skin (Tom's of Maine) o wash children's hands very well, paying close attention to the fingernails after playing with any art supplies o make your own playdough using rice flour Michele Kratzmeier (301) 640-3079 861/4B40
