I am literally going stir crazy this weekend staying in with the children due to number five’s chicken pox!
The only thing for it was get crafting and with Valentine’s Day just round the corner I thought I would try something that would allow the kids to get involved in the celebrations too.
Mine always love playdough so I made an allergy friendly chocolate playdough that they could create chocolates from and wrap up to use in role play.
I used the same recipe that I use for my lavender playdough and just substituted the lavender for cocco powder.
It literally smelt good enough to eat and I had to stop the boys several times from doing so!
They had great fun rolling the balls to form the chocolates but had more fun creating poo!
When the balls were ready I popped them into the freezer for a while to harder up and then wrapped up in a square of cellophane and finished off with a piece of ribbon tied into a bow.
If this looks like something you fancy trying out yourself then take a look at this really simple recipe:
Chocolate Playdough
- 150g gluten free plain flour
- 50g salt
- 2tbsps oil
- 150g water
- 4tbsps cocco powder
- Place all the dry ingredients into a large mixing bowl.
- Add the oil and then slowly add the water until the playdough forms a ball.
