10+ Chocolate Sensory Play Ideas
I try to set up a new sensory play activity for the kids every week and after the runaway success of our 3-Ingredient Hot Chocolate Cloud Dough I wanted to gather up some new Chocolate Sensory Play Ideas!
These chocolate sensory play ideas are great for Valentine’s Day, Easter, Halloween, birthday parties – or really, anytime because when is chocolate not a good idea?!
Chocolate Sensory Activities for Kids

1. One of our favourite homemade art supplies, this Chocolate Puffy Paint from The Imagination Tree can be used in so many fun craft ideas!
2. Our 3-Ingredient Hot Chocolate Cloud Dough is taste-safe alternative to sand that can keep the shape of anything it is molded into.
3. The secret ingredient in this Chocolate Foam from And Next Comes L keeps hands clean while engaging in this messy play.
4. Hot Chocolate Winter Play for Kids from Growing a Jeweled Rose consists of chocolate-scented rice, cotton ball marshmallows, and plenty of cups and ladles!
5. This Chocolate Stretchy Slime from Fun at Home With Kids looks amazing – my daughter would flip for this!

6. If you have a chocolate-peanut butter fan on your hands, this Chocolate Fluffernutter Play Dough from Almost Unschoolers would be a huge hit!
7. My construction-loving boys will love this Big Builders set-up from My Small Pototoes.
8. We haven’t really put our Insects Toob to good use since our Insect Mini-Unit, so this fun Digging for Bugs in the Mud play dough invitation from I Can Teach My Child is a great excuse to bring them out again.
9. It might look gross, but this Edible Sensory Bin of Ooey Gooey Worms from the Measured Mom would be so much fun – and bonus, even the youngest kids could join in!
10. A great activity for a group of kids, My Small Potatoes set out this Race Car Chocolate Sensory Activity out at a Race Car Birthday Party.
11. Our Hot Chocolate Play Dough with Play Dough Marshmallows remains one of our most requested play dough recipes – and who can blame them?!
12. Our Hot Chocolate Oobleck was our first experience with oobleck and we’ll definitely have to revisit it again soon!
13. Our Clean Mud Worm Bin was made with chocolate cookie crumbs to really achieve that mud-look!
