This idea came as I thought, what else can we do with dandelions after going through the whole list of Dandelion Basics: Using Dandelions for painting feels unconventional and a little zany but, it works! Since Spring brings dandelions in abundance, I wanted to move past the idea that these are a weed and onto the idea that these are a fabulous resource for imagination.
