Everlasting dandelion clocks 🌼

Dandelion clocks are so delicate: the seeds can be released by just a puff of breath. Preserve the beautiful fluffy white seed head, by keeping them in a jar so that the wind doesn’t blow the seeds away.

“When children play in natural spaces, they’re far more likely to invent their own games than in more structured settings – a key factor in becoming self-directed and inventive adults later in life”
