Hijacked Kneading Choco Play-dough

I stumbled upon chocolate play dough recipe the other day. It was meant to be me kneading her play-dough for our weekend trip. I was already at the last part, “Knead on a floured surface.” My mistake was to use the tray that she usually play with. Only a minute into the kneading, Y has already by my side and asking “What’s that?”

“Play-dough for our trip tomorrow,” I said.

She excitedly sat in front of me. I knew it then, kneading time was soon to be over. I offered a small ball of the dough. She stood up, ran to the kitchen, opened its drawer and returned with a roller pin.

“Roll! Roll! Roll!”

She stood up again, this time to pick a Fisher Price star shape.

“Staaaaaar! Staaaaaaar! Staaaaaaaaar!”

Then I got the look. I knew she wanted the big chunks of dough, so I gave her. That’s the end of my kneading story.

Here is the chocolate play dough recipe.

Materials:

-1 cup flour

-1/4 cup salt

-1/4 cup cocoa

-3/4 cup water

-1 1/2 Tbsp vegetable oil

Instruction:

-Put all the ingredients in a large bowl.

-Mix well until a ball starts to form. Add additional flour if the mixture is too sticky.

Note: The dough gets slightly sticky the more you play with it. Keep adding flour as needed.
