Chocolate Play Dough

Playdough allows for hours of fun and is great for playdates or to occupy little ones while you make dinner.I found this recipe for Chocolate Play dough over at the Crafty Crow (amazing blog!) Check it out!

Chocolate Play dough

1 1/4 cup flour

1/2 cup cocoa powder

1/2 cup salt

1/2 tablespoon cream of tartar

1 1/2 tablespoon oil

1 cup water

Mix dry ingredients in a medium size pot. Add wet ingredients and stir together over low heat until a ball of dough forms. Remove play dough from pot and knead by hand until dough is smooth and evenly colored. Store in airtight container.

Another great one (as long as you have no allergies) is Peanut Butter Play dough

1 cup of peanut butter

1/4 cup honey

1/2 cup powdered milk.

Mix together and chill.

And then there is Koolaid Play dough

2 cups flour
1 cup salt
4 tbsp. cream of tartar
2 tbsp. oil
2 cups boiling water
2 pkgs unsweetened koolaid mix (I like the grape or orange the best!)
Keep in airtight bag (ZipLoc type). It is a super play dough. I often half recipe, as is plenty, or can then get two colours out of one recipe (cream of tartar is expensive!). Also, I sometimes add more oil as makes it more pliable, you'll see as you go.
