that one has salt tho - most do you will find...but i found these...
SAND PLAY DOH: (textured play doh!) 1 cup sand 1/2 cup cornstarch 3/4 cup water Mix ingredients in saucepan and cook until thick. Allow to cool, knead and allow to harden enough for use. SAND MODELING DOUGH: (textured play doh!) 1 cup sand 1/2 cup cornstarch 1 teaspoon Alum 3/4 cup hot water food coloring if desired Mix sand, cornstarch and Alum in bowl. Add hot water and stir vigorously. Add food coloring if desired. Cook over medium heat until thick. Let dough cool. Mold into desired shapes and let dry in the sun for several days. Store any leftover dough in an airtight container in the refrigerator. OAT PLAY DOH: (textured!) Note: This play doh is for tactile stimulation. Young children love it. It has a rough texture and is great for exercising hand muscles. You should use this dough the same day you make it, as it will get moldy within a day or two. 2 cups water 1 cup oatmeal 1 cup flour cinnamon (optional) Heat water until boiling. Combine boiling water and oatmeal in mixing bowl. Add enough flour to make it dough. Add cinnamon for smell if desired. ------------- http://www.myfitnesspal.com/weight-loss-ticker">

You could do an ordinary biscuit recipe if you wanted. I prefer the salty playdough so they don't eat it  -------------  |
