What is my child learning and improving?

  • Gross motor skills (going outside and finding the dandelions is super fun and incorporates a bit of physical movement into a craft!)
  • Creativity (using nature in crafts, coming up with a face for their lion)
  • Fine motor skills (picking up the dandelions, gluing, drawing a face for the lion)

 

Make this Dandelion Lion Craft and if you do, let me know in the comments if you enjoyed it!
