Dandelion sponge stamp

Here’s a dandelion craft made with a sponge stamp.

The process is the same as making a traditional tampo stamp, but since you use a sponge, it seems easy to make.

Wrap a sponge around the tip of a disposable chopstick and secure it with a rubber band—your stamp is ready.

Then stamp orange paint onto a yellow piece of construction paper cut into a dandelion shape, and it’s complete.

You can display it on the wall as is, or add a stem and leaves to make it look even more like a dandelion.

When infants are making it, wrapping the chopstick with colored tape or vinyl tape can make it safer to use!

Dandelions made from tissue paper

Soft and gentle vibes that are so cute! Here’s an idea for making dandelions with tissue paper.

You’ll need yellow tissue paper cut into quarter-size pieces, a round backing sheet, a stapler, and scissors.

First, accordion-fold the tissue paper and staple it in the middle.

Next, make three snips on both sides with scissors, then gently open up the tissue paper.

If you cut a bit deeper, it looks even cuter! Finally, glue the tissue paper onto the round backing to finish.

Try combining it with leaves and a stem made from construction paper.
