Painting with Dandelions

I saw this cute activity and we tried it today. All you have to do is pick a bunch of dandelions from the yard. Voila!! They turn into paintbrushes in an instant. It was really fun to see Ben work fast because the flowers start to close up pretty quick. He designated each one to be a certain color.

Ben figured out different painting techniques. He would dab some and then swirl some.

We decided to see what happened when you mixed the colors and also dipped the cut end of the stem in the paint.
