What To Do About Mean Girls In 1st Grade?

My 7 year old daughter is in 1st grade. There are 2 other 1st grade girls that ride the bus with her, who have been very mean to her lately. I think it’s jealousy, but a 7 year old doesn’t understand that. At the bus stop (I’m always there with her), they completely ignore her when she tries to talk to them. For example, my daughter asked one of them if she could have one of the press on tattoos the little girl was handing out, and the girl rolled her eyes and ignored my daughter. That same morning, they were being so mean on the bus, my daughter started crying. When the 2 of them are not together, they want to play with my daughter, and she feels they are her friends. I tried to explain to her that she doesn’t need friends like that and I don’t want her playing with them. That really upset her because I have always said I will not choose her friends. My daughter does not have a mean bone in her body. I don’t know how to handle this. It hurts ME to see my daughter being hurt.
