A month to celebrate all our dandelions

April is the international month of the military child and each year we love taking this time to celebrate all of the little troopers out there!

Did you know the official flower of the military child is the dandelion because it’s seeds are blown far and wide by the wind but it will always plant roots and blossom wherever it lands. That’s why we’ve got lots of dandelion themed activities to keep little troopers busy this month.

April 2023 we have lots of resources for you to celebrate military children ~at home or at school
