Curling dandelions

Lily brought in a bunch of dandelions. I remembered curling dandelions in water with my grandma when I was little, so decided to try it. It works best with long-stemmed flowers. First you peel the stem into 4 or 5 pieces.

Then get a bowl of warm water and put the dandelions in.

Finally, watch them turn into tight curls!

How fun! Looks like she is having a god time! I didn't know that would happen... learn something new everyday!

She really liked it, and it kept her busy while I finished up dinner.

No. Way. I'll pretend I want to try it out for my kids, but really, I just think that's totally nifty!

I don't remember doing this with grandpa. Awesome that you do!
