Our Wheat Free Play Dough
How long does OMGF Play Dough Last?
OMGF Play Dough is a handcrafted play dough (modelling clay) made with no nasty chemicals - likes dyes, paints, sanitisers. We use 100% food grade ingredients only.
​
We have formulated a long lasting traditional play dough that uses the natural elements of salt and cream of tartar as a preservative.
​
Unopened, OMGF will last for 6+ months in a place away from direct sunlight. Once opened, the life of the dough greatly depends on nature
of play.
Can I use the dough tools I already have?
Yes!! You can definitely use the dough tools you already have, even some other branded 'dough toys'.
​
OMGF Play DOugh is non sticky, holds its shape and is perfect for all kids of cutting, rolling, pushing etc.
​
OMGF Dough & Sensory offer its own collection of dough accessories for those who may like to add to their own collection or are just staring out.
Is it edible?
No! Our products are NOT EDIBLE.
​
We choose to make our goodies out of food grade ingredients as a safer, more natural option for our children.
There are TOO many sensory items on the market made with paints, dyes, lotions, sanitisers, preservatives and so much more, which frankly scares me when more traditional options are available.
​
OMGF Dough and Sensory stress our items are not food and are NOT intended to be consumed in any capacity.
Is it REALLY Wheat Free?
Yes! Our OMGF Play Dough is Wheat Free (and gluten free) and the lab tests confirm it!
​
We fully understand the importance of tested and well labelled items in an allergy family home.
​
We do not have the same requirements as gluten free foods, however, we do voluntarily declare all of our ingredients PLUS we conduct LAB Tests with BVAQ annually to ensure our wheat free/gluten free claims are spot on!​​​
Tips for Dough care
Wash hands before play and ensure a clean play surface
​
If creating smaller projects or not wanting to use an entire tub, consider removing a PORTION of the 280g tub and seal separately after play (place used dough in a layer of cling film or 'gladwrap' before placing back in tub)
​
Ensure lid is secure for airtight storage
​
Store in a dark and dry area
​

OMGF PLay Dough Ingredients
Our OMGF Play Dough recipe has been tried and tested. Our unique blend of wheat free flour is purchased from Gluten Free Wholesalers in QLD, Australia, who certify their products.
​
We do not use any 'MAY CONTAIN' ingredients in our doughs.
​
OMGF keep our play dough as natural as possible using food grade ingredients. We do use VIVID food colours, which does have artificial colour - numbers of colours can be found in our OMGF Play Dough listing.
Does the dough smell like others?
No!
​
Becuase OMGF Play Dough is wheat free, the odour that is often found to be offensive is gone.
​
'OMGF Play Dough' is NON Scented - 8 traditional colours
​
If you are after a play dough to delight all your senses, consider our scented doughs, made with the same original recipe with natural food grade oils or essences added for fragrance.
Why do you only test yearly?
Well frankly, lab testing is VERY expensive! OMGF Play Dough is made in small controlled batches. In 2025 our lab test calculated to $163.17 per batch!!!!! At this price it would be impossible for us to test EVERY batch, unless we made 200kg batches.
​
OMGF Dough & Sensory is a small Australian business. We do our best to keep our prices as reasonable as possible so all families can experience our products. For this reason we will continue to lab test RANDOM batches on a yearly basis to ensure we meet our wheat free claim.
Our Sensory Play Packages
Are they easy to prepare?
Our sensory packages are designed to 'pour and play'
​
Everything comes prepackaged and ready to use. No mixing or cutting out etc.
​
Tip your sensory base into your chosen container, arrange the small world parts, add the bowls, scoops etc and let the play begin!
​
Play can be enhanced by adding themed books or additional learning cards to the play area.
What sized play tray is recommended?
All of our sensory packs are designed for use in an ikea trofast tub
(42 x 30cm) or similar to the Jellystone Design Tray Play
(35.5cm round)
​
We ensue all our sensory packages have enough base material to scoop, pour and fill.
​
All our sensory packages can also be size adjusted - by adding additional sensory base if you have larger play trays or love REALLY deep sensory bases for play.
What's in the packs?
All of the OMGF sensory packages are designed around our own sensory bases, which are 100% food grade ingredients.
​
We then add a thoughtful collection of small world or loose parts to create a full play experience.
​
We attempt an Australia first approach when sourcing our accessories, however, we do also import items from wholesalers to keep our prices as mindful as possible. We want ALL families to be able to enjoy sensory paly.
Are OMGF Sensory Packs also allergy safe?
Yes! We have continued our wheat free ingredients into our sensory packages, however, these are not lab tested.
Our sensory packages use Gluten Free pasta and spaghetti. Any play dough used in our packages is our original OMGF Play Dough recipe.
Dried beans or legumes are gluten free/wheat free by ingredient, however, do often have a MAY CONTAIN statement.
Sensory packages can be purchased with a choice of sensory base - where the deluxe option including legumes and pasta are optional. ​​​
General Stuff
Postage & Delivery
We ship all our goodies via Australia Post. OMGF offer a flat rate postage in both regular and express shipping.
​
Orders leave our OMGF headquarters within 2 business days (we like our doughs to be a fresh as possible, and are usually made to order)
Delivery time will vary depending on where in Australia you are located - generally between 2 - 7 days.
All orders are updated with tracking details, so you can follow the movement of your package.
Packaging & the environment
OMGF are mindful of the environment when packaging our goodies.
Dough requires plastic to be air tight, so we focus on packaging that is durable and can be reused many times over.
In our house we re-use our dough tubs for paint, beads, scoops for rice & water play etc.
Our pouches are wipeable and resealable meaning they can be reused again and again.
AU Dollar Pricing
OMGF are located in NSW Australia.
All our listed prices are in AUD (Australin Dollars)
Currently we do not ship overseas due to custom requirements around 'food' items. In addition many international countries have rules on importing grains and even cocoa products.
We will continue to research and investigate international options
and announce on Socials once on offer.
Returns Policy
OMGF are happy to return and refund items that are faulty, not as advertised or unfit for use.
​
We do not offer refund for change of mind unless discussed prior. Postage costs for returned items due to change of mind are responsibility of the buyer.
​
Refunds are processed once returned items are received within 3 - 5 working days.

Tell me more about Wheat Free Play Dough & how it is prepared
OMGF Dough & Sensory pride ourselves in producing allergy friendly products, that are specifically WHEAT FREE by ingredient.
​
We take a great deal of time to source our ingredients to make our products to ensure they are indeed Wheat Free. We understand that Gluten Free and Wheat Free are NOT the same (i.e., wheat glycose syrup is GF, but not wheat free)
​
We source our flours & Starches from Gluten Free Wholesalers AU (QLD). Our chosen colourings are VIVID Gel Colours, which are labelled GF. We do NOT use products with MAY contain statements for allergens.
​
Our products are manufactured in a home kitchen in small controlled batches. Our home is a coeliac home - 2 adults (well one teen) and an infant on a strict GF diet.
​
We have recently conducted LAB testing with BVAQ using the Coeliac Australia approved testing method of ELISA r-Biopham Gluten, with results showing less than 5 ppm. (which is the smallest reported unit possible) OMGF Dough & Sensory sent 3 samples to BVAQ, which were manufactured at 3 different times - Nov 2024, February 2025 and April 2025.
​
In Australia, a food product containing less than 5 ppm (parts per million) of gluten is considered "gluten-free". This is the limit of detection for current testing methods. While other regions like the US and Europe allow up to 20 ppm for gluten-free labelling, Australian standards are stricter.
​
OMGF Dough & Sensory will continue to have LAB tests performed annual to ensure that our product meets expectation of wheat free/gluten free.
​
OMGF Dough & Sensory would like to stress again that our products are NOT FOOD items and are NOT intended for consumption. We use food grade ingredients only to provide a safer alternative to toxic chemicals used in other sensory play items on the market. With our products NOT BEING FOOD ITEMS we are not subject to the same labelling requirements set out by Food Standards AU & NZ.

OMGF 'Messy Play' Allergen Information
OMGF 'Messy Play' is a separate branch off of OMGF Dough & Sensory and we are offering Sensory Play Parties and Messy Play Sessions/Play Groups.
​
OMGF 'Messy Play' is run under the same abn by the same creator - Jess - as OMGF Dough & Sensory - the only difference is the types of products used. OMGF 'Messy Play' is created in a separate preparation area using separate utensils and separate machinery, as it contains items with wheat, gluten, legumes and even milk or milk powder.
​
OMGF 'Messy Play' can definitely cater to allergies, however, unlike the OMGF Dough & Sensory products, OMGF 'Messy Play' cannot claim allergen free environment nor has messy play products certified as allergen free.
​
OMGF Dough & Sensory still maintains a dedicated Wheat Free/Gluten free manufacturing area and still has play dough tested annually for certification on Gluten Free products.
