Craft Brand Names that are OK

I found this list off an autism website and have found it to be helpful:

COMMON GF/CF SCHOOL PRODUCTS/MATERIALS:
Chalk – Crayola
Crayons – Crayola
Foam / Shaving cream – Colgate Shaving Cream is GF/CF (non-mentholated, white cream preferred)
Glue (liquid) – Elmer’s washable glue
Glue Stick - No suitable replacement found
Markers – Crayola (including Color Wonder as well)
Paints (w/ brush) Palmer paint products; Crayola Oil Pastels, powder paint, and water soluble oil pastels; Prism Brand paints
Paints (finger paints) – Crayola
Paints (powder) - Crayola
Play Clay – Crayola Model Magic (NO Crayola Clay – that contains gluten)
Silly Putty - Crayola
Stickers – Most contain gluten – If a sticker is placed on clothes or paper, parent may allow it as acceptable. However, it is to be taken away from the child if the child insists on putting any stickers on skin….the adhesive is transferring gluten directly through the skin.
Sunscreen – Banana Boat
Lip balm – Burt’s Bees & Lip Smackers (in our case, all flavors except banana!)
All elmers products but finger paints
