Hot chocolate playdough

One of my daughter’s favorite drinks is hot chocolate. It can be pushing 90 degrees out with 100% humidity and she will still ask for hot chocolate. We have made cookies, cakes, pudding, and so many more edible treats with hot chocolate mix but I wanted to try something totally new. We like making our own play dough and slime. So when the idea came to me to substitute some of the flour in our favorite play dough mix with hot chocolate mix – my daughter and I were almost giddy at the thought. THis hot chocolate playdough is super easy to make and lots of fun to play with too! All you need are a few simple ingredients you probably already have on hand to make a batch of this Hot chocolate playdough recipe. This play doh recipe is perfect for celebration National Chocolate Day on October 28th, as a fun winter activity for kids, or to make into little chocolates for a Valentines Day activity.

Either way, this play dough recipes is fun for toddlers, preschoolers, kindergartners, grade 1, and grade 2 students!

Hot chocolate playdough recipe

This Hot Chocolate PlayDough Recipe is super simple actually. If you have made play dough before, or even if you haven’t, you’ll be pleasantly surprised.
 

Ingredients Needed:

1 Cup of Hot Chocolate Mix
2 Cups Of Flour
3/4 Cup Of Salt
1 Cup Baking Soda
1/2 Cup + 3 TBS Water
1/4 Cup Of Oil

Instructions:

We mixed all of the dry ingredients together with a fork in one bowl. Next we added the oil and stirred. It looked like brownie mix. I highly doubt with all the salt and baking soda that it tasted like brownie mix, but it sure looked like it!

Next we slowly added the water and mixed at the same time. Stir until ball starts to form. Take the ‘ball’ out and drop on floured surface.

Winter Playdough REcipe

We first played with coffee cups. We filled and ‘poured’ and my daughter pretended to work at a coffee shop, serving me my favorite drink.

We played with chocolate chips, mixing in pretending to make chocolate chip cookies. We also added some marshmallows.

Winter Activity for Kids

I loved this because it wasn’t anymore expensive than regular play dough and it has a double sensory aspect. Not only is playing with play dough a sensory activity on its own, but the scent that comes from this recipe is phenomenal.

Whether you are making this for a classroom or for home, whether it’s close to Christmas, National Chocolate Day (on October 28), Hot Chocolate Day (on January 31),  or a random Wednesday in February – this is a MUST make!

 

 

Fun Holidays

    Crayon Play Dough

    Looking for a fun and beneficial activity for your little ones? Look no further! Playdough is not only entertaining but also offers several benefits for your child’s development.

    • Firstly, playing with playdough helps enhance fine motor skills. By squeezing, rolling, and shaping the dough, children improve their hand-eye coordination and dexterity.
    • Furthermore, the sensory experience of playdough stimulates creativity and imagination. Kids can mold their own unique creations, from animals to buildings, fostering their artistic abilities and encouraging pretend play.
    • Playdough is also a great tool for learning and practicing letter and number recognition. Kids can shape the dough into different letters and numbers, making learning a fun and interactive experience.
    • Moreover, this activity promotes concentration and focus. As children engage in playdough play, they learn to concentrate on the textures and shapes they are manipulating, which trains their attention span.
    • Another fantastic benefit of playdough is its calming effect. Kneading and manipulating the dough can be soothing and stress-relieving for kids, helping them relax and unwind.
    • Lastly, playing with playdough encourages social interaction and communication. Children can play together, share ideas, and engage in collaborative play, boosting their social skills and fostering friendships.

    • Lastly, playing with playdough encourages social interaction and communication. Children can play together, share ideas, and engage in collaborative play, boosting their social skills and fostering friendships.
