A daisy crown is a classic summer craft for outdoors, so of course we had to make one that can be worn year round! This paper daisy crown is a fun DIY for kids to add to their dress up toys. It’s great for when they’re learning about flowers, nature or even shapes and colors.
If your child is old enough, they can help with the cutting out of the flowers and shapes, or they can help more when it comes to assembly (glue sticks are perfect for assembling the flowers and adding the flowers to the crown base).
