Dandelion Lions Nature Craft

These spring dandelions sure do make dandy little lions.

The spring has sprung and so have all of the dandelions. If your yard is anything like mine, it is covered in them.  My daughter loves to pick them. She weeds our yard all the time and doesn’t even realize it. She picked me a bunch the other day and we started talking about how dandelion sounds like dandy lion. My daughter cleverly pointed out to me that the dandelion looked like a lion’s mane. That is what inspired this simple “dandy lions” nature craft.
