Fairy Week
June 15th 2009 01:48
Alice The Fairy is a little girl who is practicing to be a fairy. She can fly really fast (almost) and she can make herself disappear (by turning off the lights). But she hasn't learned the hardest lessons like how to make clothes get up off the floor and line up in the closet. She is, after all, a "temporary" fairy who understands that the hard stuff is reserved for "permanent" fairies.
Alice The Fairy by David Shannon is an absolutely adorable book and provides the basis for this week's activities for Fairy Week. The book Creative Activities for Gifted Readers, Grades K-2 by Anthony Fredericks has some great starting points including talking about secret powers you could possess as a fairy as well as a creating a list of skills, abilities or activities which all fairies need to know.
Going from Garden Week to Fairy Week may sound a little unrelated although crafts like this twig fairy craft and fairy houses make great fairy-type actiivities.
My daughter enjoyed the floral coffee filter craft we created last week and so this week we are going to try the coffee filter earth fairy.
We are going to do some fairy face painting and create our very own magic wand.
Little Bunny Foo Foo is our song of the week.
We have fairy mazes and dot to dots to complete, fabulous fairies to colour as well as these sparkling clothespeg fairies to create.
What a week!
