Chocolate Playdough Recipe

I thought it was about time a shared one of our favourite playdough recipes. I used this recipe the first time my youngest played with playdough and it might not have been the best idea because it really does smell delicious.  

I did however find that the smell intisced them in and stopped him for being nervous about the strange thing I had put in front of him.

The children had fantastic fun rolling the playdough and making cakes using cutters, sprinkles and cupcake cases.

Here is the recipe we usually use which I found in one of my resource books

2 cups all-purpose flour

1 cup salt

1/2 cup cocoa powder

2 tbsps vegetable oil

2 tbsps cream of tartar

2 cups of boiling water

Combine all of the dry ingredients. Add in the oil and mix well. Then stir in the boiling water until fully combined.  flip it out the bowl onto a clean surface and knead it.
