Dandelions

Isn't that the sweetest little printable ever on Dandelion chains? Click on it or here, I have it linked to PDF at vinsweb.org, click it, print it out and create some dandelion chains, I know that's what we'll be doing tomorrow!


Anyway, today we walked outside and sprawled out on the grass and examined dandelions. The little ones were in awe that the yellow dandelion closes up and when it reopens it's the white fluffy dandelion. Thankfully one of the plants fully cooperated and had one of each dandelion on it!

Here's another pdf from vinsweb.org on the dandelion and of course we used Anna Botsford Comstock's Handbook of a Nature Study. Because what homeschool would be complete with out it!

Here's a notebooking page I created for the kids to use. Hope if works for you if you use it.
(By the way, I found the link to the dandelion chains here at In the Sparrow's Nest)

I snagged that photo from another one of my posts, isn't it great? it's a dandelion in our backyard.
