I did this activity with my daycare kids. They love to pick dandelions. This kept them busy for a good hour at least.
~ Collect a lot of dandelions.....
~ Using your fingernail peel the stem into a couple of pieces. The kids had fun seeing how many little strips they could peel the stem into. My three and four year old could do this by themselves. Leave them stem attached though.
~ Put into cold water. i used a shallow plastic plate. Works in a bucket, pool, anything as long as it is cold water.
~ Watch as the stems curl up. The longer you leave them in the water the curlier they get!
~ Kids thought this was SO COOL!!!!
