Our Gnome Multiply was busily rushing about collecting and multiplying the number of dandelions we collected.
We used those dandelions to make dandelion biscuits (look here for a recipe) and dandelion tea. (Steep flower heads in boiling water and then drink and enjoy).
We collected up lots and lots and lots of dandelion flowers and dyed wool. It turned out a gentle yellow. The picture doesn't do it justice - it's more yellow than it looks here, a lovely colour.
I stumbled upon this great experiment here to make dandelion spirals with dandelion stems by splitting the stems and adding them to a bowl of water. We loved this and walked about the fields with a bucket of water making dandelion stem spirals as we went along. The boys do this frequently now, it's such fun to watch the stems spiral! Do try it if you have dandelions about.
