We love everything fairy! This is a great roundup and I can’t wait to try some of these projects/recipes. I also have to say that Ella Enchanted is one of my all time favorite movies!
I love that movie so much, every time I watch it I notice something new.
What a lovely topic! Great collection of ideas.
Thanks. I had fun writing it.
What a fun round-up of fairy things! My girls have been lovers of fairies for a long time (never fond of princesses – but they like fairies). One of my favorite fairy activities that we did was also a great one for learning about flowers and butterflies. We drew a bunch of pictures of fairies with colored pencils to hang up in their room and we had them posing by a specific flower and wearing clothes “made” from that flower. Then we would find a butterfly in our butterfly book and copy the wings. It was pretty fun way to learn about flower and butterfly types. Another fun fairy craft was when we would cut flowers, people and butterfly wings out of magazines and catalogs and then paste them together to make fairies. Here are some links to the activities I mentioned: http://proverbs31living.blogspot.com/2009/06/drawing-of-fairies.html and http://proverbs31living.blogspot.com/2012/04/paper-projects-paul-and-babe-and.html
I love that idea, I bet they can identify those flowers now!
