Chocolate Playdough

I am always looking for projects that our kids and I can do together.  I love the way a hands on actitivity can spark their little imaginations.  Here are the directions and receipe for Chocolate Playdough.... Play with it, don't eat it :) This is way cool ( in the words of Avary)....

INGREDIENTS:

1 1/4 cup flour
1/2 cup cocoa powder
1/2 cup salt
1/2 tablespoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 tablespoon cooking oil
1 cup boiling water

PREPARATION:

Stir ingredients together and mix well. Cook over low heat until dough forms a ball. When cool, mix with your hands.

Store in airtight container. It will smell good enough to eat but without sugar in it kids will not want to taste it a second time!
