Dandelion Craft

One of my kids favorite things about spring and summer are the yellow flowers that appear all over people’s lawns. Yep, kids LOVE dandelions even though every adult I know groans when they see them in their yard. Children’s favorite part is when they go to seed and look like big balls of white fluff that they can blow. Fun, right? Unfortunately that means all those seeds are being scattered throughout your yard to grow more dandelions. I love the innocense of childhood that they think it is fun!

This super cute dandelion craft showcases the white balls, not the yellow flowers as that is my kids’ favorite part. This flower craft is perfect for spring crafts of summer crafts with toddlers, preschoolers, and kindergartners.
