Daisy-Head Mayzie Craft

Every year we have fun celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday on March 2 with some fun Dr. Seuss-inspired crafts & activities to go with our favorite books.

I thought we had read them all, and then we discovered my daughter’s new favorite.  After reading it we had fun with this simple Daisy-Head Mayzie craft.

This craft is fun for all ages.

Daisy-Head Mayzie Craft

To make your own daisy headbands you will need:

• construction paper
• clear tape
• scissors
• 1 green pipe cleaner
• glue stick

To make the headband portion of the craft, cut 2, 2 inch thick strips of yellow construction paper.

Tape the 2 strips of paper together at one end.

To make sure the headband fits, wrap it around the child’s forward and secure the free ends together with clear tape.

Next cut a 3 inch wide yellow circle for the daisy’s center.  Then cut 5-6 white construction paper petals to form your flower.

Glue the petals to the back of the daisy’s center.

Then, cut  a green pipe cleaner in half to form the daisy’s stem.

Use a bit of tape to secure the stem to the back of the daisy and inside the headband.

It’s fun to wear the daisy headband craft and pretend to be Daisy-Head Mayzie.

The flower will bob around on the pipe cleaner, sure to get a few giggles.

I hope your child enjoys this Daisy-Head Mayzie craft as much as we did.
