Last winter we bought hot chocolate at the store to try with the kids. Well I do not know about you but my kids are picky! They did not like the hot chocolate at all. I drank as much of it by myself that I could but I did not make it through the whole box. This poor box sat in the pantry for some time. Over the summer I grabbed it at one point to toss it. Then this idea of creating a play activity with it for the kids hit me. So I put it back on the shelf and left it for when the time was right. Today the time was right. With Christmas and winter coming up I thought it would be a great time for some Hot Chocolate Snow Dough for a sensory activity with the kids.

Play Recipe for today is adapted from my guest post Sensory Scented Snow on The Usual Mayhem

What to use:

1 box baking soda, 3-4 packets of hot chocolate with marshmallows (ours were colored), and cooking oil.

What to do:

Mix baking soda and hot chocolate together. Then add in oil. You will be able to mold when ready.

I used a tray to place the Hot Chocolate Snow Dough in. I just loved the colorful mini marshmallows.

Sensory Play Activity- making ice cream and hot chocolate

We had a nice day for some outside play. I set the kids up in the play pool on the porch. Then I let them take over and use their imagination for playtime with what they had.

This is a great hands on afternoon activity for my kids. They get to explore and learn through their senses. And, well, it is just fun! I loved the smell of this hot chocolate snow dough. I would not recommend tasting it but it should not be harmful if the kids put a little in their mouth.

The boys had fun scooping and molding the dough. Then they had fun making a big mess in the pool. The great thing was when they were done with playtime, it was all in one space to make for easy clean up.

Maybe you and your kids can enjoy this too. I am sure there are many fun ways to use it for playtime.
