Kids can learn how early settlers used dandelion, and 62 other plants: horsetail to scrub pots and pans, oxalis for stomach ache, teasel to brush up soft nap on wool, yarrow to stop bleeding ( a remedy as old as the Trojan War). Identification is made much easier by detailed drawings and by grouping those in pastures, those in swampland. Plants in these general habitats are then sub-grouped into uses – medicinal, food, or household.1, 2, 3 directions are given for kids who want to plant an herb garden, collect and dry plants, make teas and salads from herbs, or dye cloth. CAUTION: If you are taking kids to eat off the land, check with source on poisonous plants. Some pal have their problems – although young pokeweed greens are edible, older leaves are not, and as few as two or three uncooked pokeweed berries can fatally poison a small child.
