Dandelion Luminaries

✨ ¸.•*¨*.¸¸.•*¨`*•.whimsical dandelion luminaries

these were so fun to make and once again I was able to see how my children are so unique in their approach to learning and creating.

i set out after schooling was over to gather the dandelion puffs with all 3 kiddos.

of course WR took over and the rest is history.

this simple, sweet and magical activity is so much fun.

1. gather dandelion puff…be gentle 🤗. Use ✂️ to snip

as close to base as possible.

2. put your tea light in a mason jar (or) any glass container.

3. place dandelion puffs gently into the jar 

4. you can add other pretty flowers as well as one of my kiddos did for a sparkling pop of colour amongst the light

4. enjoy

note: if your kiddos want to keep the jar for a few days it’s a good idea to find a jar with a lid and tape the tea light under the lid (inside the jar) for easy access.

ALSO if you don’t want dandelions popping up everywhere, don’t let your kiddos bring the jars out into your garden 🙈.

Je suis très excitéé. MY latest bilingual guide is available. It's all about plants (les plantes) and seeds (les graines), BUT, it is so much more than that. There are many fun and easy activities to create, recipes to make, and learning to be done through exploration and collaboration. 

Creating these activities and guides for and with my children is so wonderful. Moonface and I worked on a flower crown together (while WildRose was napping...shhhhhh). I love how each of my kiddos have a different perspective when it comes to learning styles and interests. I also LOVE that we have the opportunity to make these wonderful creations and most of all - to share them with you!

New Guide available in ETSY. As always, please do contact me with inquiries.

Simple Sensory

Whether playing outside in nature, playing games, or playing with experiments, these activities will engage children’s curiosities and promote creative and critical thinking…mindsets that support children as they grow into a world that values independent thinking.I love sand and water play. It's not just for the kids, I too feel calm and centered when I immerse my hands in water, or weave my fingers gently in soft sand.
Sand and water play this week was simple. There were no planned activities- what's the need for planned activities, when children can simply explore and 

After all, sand and water provide open-ended play. I have never seen a child look at sand or water and ask what to do with it; they just know.
