How about painting daffodils onto glass tea light holders or canvas shopping bags with daffodils painted on or a simple applique.
Then you can save the environment at the same time. Good luck with your fundraising for something that touches everyones lives.

I love daffodils! :3 Anyway, I think it would be a good idea to sell daffodil bulbs, or shirts, bags, bracelets that have a c.ertain slogan on them. I'll think of more later

Hats/headbands/bags/earwarmers with this crochet daffodil. Or the daffodil alone.

Another crochet daffodil (no picture, though. ='( )

Yet one more pattern. =P

You can make these out of a sturdier material and sell them.

You could set up a table, collect white bottle caps, and have the kids make little foam daffodils.

With another strip of green foam and a stapler, you can make a little headband the kids could attatch their creation to.

More intricate, but could be lucrative.

You could make daffodils from Sculpey Clay and turn them into magnets, hairclips, buttons, embellishments, etc.

So cute and easy I'm trying it myself.
