Daisy Banners

This Daisy decided to add a heart on top of
her blue promise circle!

We love to reinforce the Daisy petal theme with our Kindergarteners.  What better way than to give them a little take home banner?  

Advance prep/supplies:
1. yarn
2. sticks broken to approximately one foot lengths
3. "Daisy blue" felt or fleece
4. pre-cut flower petals and a promise circle to correspond to official Daisy petals, preferably sticker-backed felt.  To emphasize the promise circle, you may need to cut out an additional white circle slightly large than the blue promise circle.
5. fabric glue, preferably Fabri-tek.
6. Make a sample (see note below about glues).

Activity Plan:
1. Distribute blue felt/fleece, sticks and yarn.
2. Have girls fold felt over stick and apply strip of glue.
3. Help girls tie yarn to each end of stick
4. Turn over 'banner' so foldover is hidden (unlike this sample photo!).
5. Stick or glue petals (in any order) around a blue promise circle (if needed, adhere a white circle below the blue circle, for emphasis).

Experience shows...
It's really hard to work with glue and felt.  Buy the best fabric glue that you can.  I recommend Fabri-tek.  The felt absorbs the glue.  You should experiment at home first.

Alternatives:
You can buy felt letters and symbols, with sticker backs.  If you want, you can have the girls add their initials to their banner.
