Summertime is coming and along with it the lovely weeds known to Mother’s and children everywhere – Dandelions. Dandelions always remind me of my childhood and I loved sharing fun childhood games with my kids such as “Mommy had a baby and it’s head popped off” and how you “like butter” if your chin glows yellow when you hold a dandelion under it. But one of my all time favorite things to do on a hot, lazy summer day was curling dandelion stems!Â
Did you curl dandelion stems as a child? It is so cool watching them curl up, and then you can play with them, craft with them, use them in dandelion crowns. It’s an overall fun kids craft. Your kids will think you are the coolest parent ever for sharing this fun little trick.Â
How to Curl Dandelion StemsÂ
Pick a Dandelion – the longer the stem, the bigger the curl!
My children would place flowers and grass and clovers in just to see if they would float, sink, or doing anything special. They got excited each time they tried something new. We ended with a bowl of “soup” and always had a fun time.
I was just telling a friend about this and decided to google it. I was delighted to find your article. I remember doing that in the bathtub. It was so much fun!
