Soy-Yer Dough Modeling Clay: Soy To The Rescue

Who said soy is just for milk and tofu?
A Purdue University student created a soy and rice based modeling clay, Soy-Yer Dough, as a result of an academic project to create a wheat free clay for his professor and her daughter.
“One of my favorite professors mentioned she had Celiac disease. I had no idea what that was but I found out it meant she was allergic to wheat. So I set out to invent to help her child, who also had Celiac disease, and make a fun scented product and that was Soy-Yer Dough,” said Sawyer Sparks, creator of Soy-Yer Dough.
Sparks recently won a competition on the NBC business reality show Shark Tank, which resulted in $300,000 for a 51% interest in the product from three different investors.
Soy-Yer Dough is available in both soy and rice for those with soy allergies and several scents, including cherry, watermelon, and root beer.
