chocolate anyone?

chocolate play dough that is {grin}

our family loves play dough

especially play dough that smells like chocolate

or lemon

or cinnamon

{Play dough recipe}

½ cup of flour {+ optional powder}
½ cup of boiling water {colored with optional juice}
¼ cup of salt
½ tbsp cream of tartar
½ tbsp cooking oil

{brown} 1 Tablespoon of cocoa

{light yellow} 1/2 teaspoon turmeric

{bright yellow} 1 teaspoon of turmeric with a splash of lemon juice

{red} turmeric plus baking soda

{pink} beet powder or beet juice

{purple} blueberry juice

{green} spinach juice

{orange} carrot juice

{tan} 1 Tablespoon cinnamon

for a little more fun you can add in essential oils too!

Store in an sealed jar. Some last longer than others. I've found that the fruit & veggie juice don't last as long as the cocoa and turmeric. At the rate we use play dough though... it's not a big deal {grin}

Have fun and let me know if you come up with any other color suggestions, there are so many possibilities, you just have to discover them!
