A fun way to encourage learning is to use play dough–with the great scent of chocolate–to form letters or numbers. Have older children create a fun picture or even reproduce a form that you’ve made. It is also a great way to teach shapes. Learning can be fun and the summer is a great time try some creative learning techniques.
Chocolate Play Dough
1 ¼ cups plain flour
½ cup cocoa
½ cup salt
½ Tablespoon cream of tartar
1 ½ Tablespoons cooking oil
1 cup boiling water
Mix dry ingredients in a bowl. Add oil and boiling water stirring quickly. Mix well. Cool before playing with it. This is NOT to be eaten! Store in air tight container.
