Cocoa your dough

We were interested to read the original letter by Jane Mills ('Playdough anyone?', 25 September), as we have experienced the very same problems when making playdough using the cooked method that she described. The only successful recipe has been one using drinking chocolate or cocoa powder. We were concerned that the children would eat the playdough, but that has not been a problem.
