Happy Banner

Ok, so this was a wild grab at something that turned out to be a greatly satisfying activity after all. The resulting effect was so gratifying, in fact, that we repeated this activity for a birthday party held later in the week, and had the same great results with the birthday girl's name. Try it over your kids' bedroom doors for fun.

The girls' dad had been away on business for a few days, and to welcome him home, they made him a happy banner.

They chose the word "DAD" for this banner. Each letter was traced onto an A4 page. The girls coloured and cut out each letter.

They cut strips of gift wrap ribbon and
attached the letters to the ribbon with tape.

A couple of extra strips of ribbon were twirled to add to the banner. (Run the blade of your scissors at an angle along gift wrap ribbon to make it really twirly).

Ribbons and letters were pasted up over the doorway that their daddy would come through.
