Pickel, My Two Boys - Now that we are all purchasing school supplies there are some of us who need to be especially careful when it comes to ingredients. There are many brands of school supplies that contain gluten, casein, and corn, dietary ingredients that I work very diligently to keep out of [my son's] diet.
But, even touching those products can be cause for a dietary infraction because it does get on and into the skin. We have even had issues arise when Little Pickel has eaten Play dough but no one noticed because he simply let it sit on the roof of his mouth. They finally realized when he went to baby yoga and his tongue was blue.
There are several sites that have this information so I will compile it for you and list the sites. From TACA Now
Paints -- six colors (Crayola, Palmer, or Lakeshore brand)
Crayola Model Magic in several colors (Do not use Playdough or Crayola Dough or any substitutes unless sent from home! Model Magic dries out after several uses--include baggies)

Elmer's or Ross Brand Glue Sticks (2)
