Happy Birthday Dad

A few things to do with a Dandelion.... A Childhood memory.

Close your eyes, blow, and make a wish! If the whole puff ball can be blown away, your wish will come true. It is also said that if you make a wish immediately before blowing on dandelion, your wish just might come true. Another belief was that the number of seeds left after blowing the seed head indicated the number of children that a girl would have in later life


Want to know how many inches you will grow? Find the biggest danelion you can, carefully pick it, saving the whole stem. However many inches it is, that's how much you will grow.

Gently rub a dandelion flower on your chin or wrist. If you turn yellow, you like butter. Neat, huh?

Learn how to make a dye from the flowers

Got a cut? The milk from the stem acts as an antiseptic.


Pick a bunch for an adult. Maybe a lonely person could use the cheer they bring.

If you can catch a floating puffball or seed, tell her all your secret wishes. Then puff gently. She will carry your wishes to the fairy kingdom.
