I have quite a few different recipes I turn to for homemade play dough. One of my favorite preschool classroom activities is pretend kitchen play with chocolate dough. This chocolate play dough recipe does not include cream of tartar, making it a great last minute activity. It’s soft for little hands and will make your home or classroom smell like warm chocolate cookies. Chocolate Play Dough made without Cream of Tartar!Most play dough recipes include cream of tartar and although I use it frequently, it’s not an ingredient I always have on hand. The chocolate play dough recipe uses baking soda as a substitute along with other basic ingredients you likely already have in the kitchen already.

Ingredients:

  • 1 TBSP baking soda
  • 1 TBSP vegetable oil
  • 1 C salt
  • 2 1/2 C flour
  • 1 C cocoa
  • 3 C water

Chocolate Play Dough Ingredients

 Mix all dry ingredients in bowl.
