I think chocolate playdough might be my favourite type of playdough. It smells amazing but it tastes like playdough so the kids won’t eat it….. mostly!!!
Chocolate Playdough Recipe
You will need:
- 1 and 1/2 cups of plain flour
- 1/2 cup of cocoa
- 1/2 cup of salt
- 2 Tablespoons of cream of tartar
- 2 Tablespoons of vegetable oil
- 1 and 1/3 cups of boiling water
To make:
Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Add the oil and then slowly mix in the boiling water. Place the combined ingredients onto the bench top and knead it until it is beautiful and smooth. If the playdough is a little sticky add a little extra flour while you knead it.
Once we have our fresh chocolate playdough we like to set up a pretend ice cream shop. I pile the playdough into a plastic container and then add an ice cream scoop or large spoon. Add some little cups to serve the ‘ice cream’ playdough (these are from the party/baking supplies area of our local supermarket).
Don’t forget some little spoons and beads or sequins so that your children can add some sprinkles to the ‘ice cream’.
If you want to add a few more flavours to your playdough ice cream shop, you have to try Christie’s lemon playdough recipe, this delicious pink playdough scented with herbal tea and a batch of green peppermint dough too!

Ali Wright is mum to two young mini makers – their favourite place to be is around the craft table with glitter in their hair. Ali's focus is on process oriented art as she loves watching her kids experiment with creative materials. When not busy with art and craft, you'll likely find them at work and play in their small city garden. As the mini makers love a good mess, their days include lots of water and messy play!
