Can we buy these preassembled?
All the supplies are available in the store now. They will be available as a kit in a few days in the store and online... we are late in this banner and thought bout doing next year, but thought it was too cute to pass up... whether you start on Dec 1st or 15th... it is a banner you will love each year. I especially love the activities we included.
Can we buy this?? It's way cute! email me please... mandiroth@gmail.com
Hi Mandi-
The kit should be online and in the stores this afternoon. The supplies are already available separately in the stores now. I know we were late to get it ready, but it really is something you will look forward to displaying and using each year. Jump in and start!
Thank you!
