Craft 6: Wishes

Okay, I'm sure you all know the 'magical' wishing powers of blowing the seeds and fluff off a dandelion. So here's a craft to keep you wishing when the winter freezes away the flowers.

Materials:
  • Jar
  • Dandelions
  • Paper
  • Thread
  • Pencil or Marker
  • Hole Punch or Scissors
  • Glitter (Optional)
Directions:
  1. Open the jar and put the lid or cork aside.
  2. Pull all the seeds and fluff off the dandelions and mix the glitter into it if you want sparkles.
  3. Put the mixture in the jar.
  4. Close the jar and make sure it won't open.
  5. Write "Wishes" or whatever label you want on the paper but make sure it's small enough to be a reasonably sized label.
  6. Punch a hole in the paper.
  7. Thread the string through the hole and tie it around the neck of the jar.
  8. Pull out a puff, make a wish, and blow it away!
