How to Make Dandelion Play Dough

There are so many dandelions popping up right now. Take a walk and collect some danelions to make this fun recipe for dandelion play dough.

Things you need:

  • A Big Handful of Dandelions

  • 1 cup of boiling water

  • 2 cups of flour

  • 1/3 cup of salt

  • 2 T. baby oil (or vegetable oil)

  • 1-2 T. cream of tartar

Bring one cup of water to a boil and remove from heat.

In a blender, mix the hot water and dandelions.

Once the dandelions are pretty much completely destroyed in the water, transfer the water to a bowl and add in oil, salt, and cream of tartar. Give it a good stir to dissolve the salt.

Add in 2 cups of flour to the mixture and stir really good until it is fully mixed.

Then dig your hands in and mix some more. If it is sticky at this point you might need to sprinkle in some more flour and knead until it no longer sticks. The amount of flour that you may need to mix in will vary based on how much water the dandelions were holding.
