“Because they were roses and I was just a dandelion.”

…make a wish!

Spring is officially upon us and the dandelion is back!  Here is a quick and inexpensive art activity that your little learners will enjoy.

You will need~

• dandelions

• clothes pegs * (to attach to the dandelion stem)

• white paper

• yellow tempera paint

• paper plate to squirt some yellow paint onto

Attach a clothes peg to the stem of a dandelion.  Dip into the yellow paint.  Press the dandelion head onto the paper.  Let dry!

Extension Activity~

Once the dandelion print is dry, the child can draw green stems to the flower prints.

This is a very simple yet effective activity and the children are delighted to “paint” with dandelions!
