As we went for an afternoon walk yesterday, we found out that the first dandelions have turned into seed buds so walks have become even more fun.
Blowing those fluffy pompons is so fulfilling — even I can’t resist the contentment of baring a nice, fat and full blow ball.
I always loved dandelions as a child so I thought it’d be fun to try making dandelions by stamping a dish brush with paint on it!
We decided to try and create our own dandelions, using simple kitchen utensils like our dish brush and the sponge.
First the children used watercolors to create the background field — green for the grass. With gouache, they painted the dandelion stem on.
Have your kids dip their dish brush into white paint but press it on another sheet to get the excess off.
Then, we dipped our dishwashing brush in white gouache and created the puffballs. So, easy but we loved the result!
Now you have a pretty field of dandelions!
