ABCs of Character Wall Banner
26 Virtues for Children
Help children discover what good character looks like in everyday life!
This colorful fabric wall banner introduces children to 26 positive character qualities and gives simple, child-friendly examples of what each one looks like in action.
We offer many products that teach children the vocabulary of virtues, from our Character Building Blocks to our Virtues Alphabet Refrigerator Magnets. This banner takes the next step. Instead of simply teaching children the names of virtues, it helps them understand what it means to actually practice them.
“They Call Me _____ When I _____”
Each of the 26 entries follows this simple format: “They call me [virtue] when I [example of behavior].”
These examples help children connect abstract ideas like kindness, generosity, and other positive qualities with things they can actually do. They begin to see how their everyday choices and actions reflect the kind of person they are becoming.
At first, children may enjoy knowing that others recognize these qualities in them. As they grow, they can develop a deeper appreciation for the virtues themselves and the difference they make in their lives and relationships.

A Daily Reminder That Keeps on Teaching
Hang this banner in a child’s bedroom, playroom, classroom, or daycare. Its colorful display gives children repeated opportunities to see, read, and absorb these positive messages. Over time, the words and examples can become familiar reminders of how to treat others and how to bring out the best in themselves.
One customer shared:
“Just wanted to let you know how MUCH she LOVES this product. She wanted to hang hers downstairs ‘where we can all see it and read the characters,’ rather than in her room.”
A Helpful Reminder for Parents and Teachers, Too!
The banner isn’t just for children. It also reminds adults to recognize and name specific virtues when children demonstrate them.
Instead of simply saying “That was nice!” or “Good job!”, try saying, “That was very generous of you!” or “You showed a lot of patience!”
Naming the quality helps children connect their actions with the virtue they are practicing. It also lets them know that you notice and appreciate the individual qualities they are developing.
Here’s another wonderful example from a customer:
“Our daughter got an email from the teacher that night to say how much the whole class loves the hanging — that each child can choose a character word to work on that day, and they read them out loud!!!”
Imagine having one in every classroom, daycare, or children’s program in your community! We offer bulk pricing for larger orders. At less than the price of a T-shirt, this is a meaningful gift that can remain on display for years without being outgrown.

Justice, my friend.
I ordered two of these wonderful wall hangings, delivery to our grandchild in Phoenix — one for her room and one to gift her classroom at school — intended for her 8th Birthday on 2/27.
The package arrived over this past weekend and she got to it first. So much for THAT Birthday present!!! 🤭
Just wanted to let you know how MUCH she LOVES this product. She wanted to hang hers downstairs “where we can all see it and read the characters”, rather than in her room. She was also immensely excited to gift the classroom one to her much-loved teacher. Our daughter got an email from the teacher that night to say how much the whole class loves the hanging — that each child can choose a character word to work on that day, and they read them out loud!!! She added that she loves having a child in her class who she KNOWS is going home every day to a home that values the same virtue training that the school does. And she said to be sure to thank us for the lovely gift.
We are getting ready to fly down to Phoenix to celebrate that 8th birthday and we are going to ask her to imagine the NEXT year’s 2nd grade class getting to love the hanging, too. And that we can get one for her 3rd grade class!!
Thanks, again, for all your wonderful work!!
🥰

The perfect gift for my four-year-old nephew (and his mom, my sister) as he learns what it means to be a kind and spiritual person. Again, even more beautiful in person. Beautiful fabric and vibrant color.
