1
Gather 25 flowers, such as daises or dandelions. Make sure that the stems are about 4- to 5-inches long so they can be tied easily.
-
2
Make a slit in the stem about a 1/4-inch long through the middle of each flower stem. This should be 2 inches below the head of the flowers. Use your fingernail to do this or you can use a sharp knife.
-
3
Slip the end of another flower's stem through the slit you have made and pull it until you get to the head of the flower.
-
4
Do the same with the next flower, weaving the stem of another flower through the next slit. Keep going in this manner until you've made a chain of flowers.
-
5
Make sure the chain will fit your child before you finish it off by measuring it around her head.
-
6
Twist the ends of the chain together to form a ring. Stick each end through slits in the stems to secure it.
-
7
Place the crown of flowers around her head and watch proudly as she dances around her kingdom.

Tips & Warnings
Alternate colors of daisies as you weave the crown to make it look extra pretty.
Kids should not make cuts into the flower stems with sharp knives. Let the adult take care of this part of the process.
