Chocolate Rice Bubble Playdough

Have you heard of The Great Cloth Diaper Change? It's an event I'm quite passionate about and have been lucky enough to be involved in since the beginning.

For those who don't know it's an annual event where parents across the globe join together and attempt to break the Guinness World Record for Most Cloth Nappies Changed in a 24 hour period at Multiple Locations.

To do this all that happens is parents and guardians gather at various locations across the globe, and at a set time change their children from a cloth or disposable nappy into a cloth nappy. It's an easy and fun way to attempt to break a world record and a great way to raise awareness about the environmental and financial benefits and the advancement of cloth nappies!

I was lucky enough to be able to host an event in my home town. As part of the event we had several activity areas set up where the kids could play before and after the event.

One of those activity areas was a playdough table where I had three plates of playdough set up. Keeping with an eco-friendly theme I chose to make a blue icy pole playdough, green pea playdough  and brown, chocolate, rice bubble playdough.
