International Fairy Tea Party Day 2017

On International Fairy Tea Party Day we went on a hunt for fairies and found all the evidence we need to prove that fairies do exist!

After reading a story about a naughty fairy, we looked for fairy signs.

Flowers where fairies like to sleep.

Acorns they like to eat

Fairy rings

And wands they use to turn anyone in anything they want.

After spending the whole day tracking them we decided to dance in a circle to call for them.

They didn’t appear but they left a surprise for us instead. They filled the place with colors!

And sprinkled fairy dust all around

They even gave us wings to fly

They also left a book for us to read.

After reading it we act out the story and threw a fairy tea party in their honor.

What better way to celebrate the wonderful world of nature all around us?

While sparking their imagination, children exercised their tracking skills and learned how to spot the tell-tale signs of fairies.

International Fairy Tea Party 2016

We spent the whole week preparing our fairy tea party which took place on Thursday and Friday in the woods. After reading in school the legend of the rainbow fairies, we decided to help these little fairies make a rainbow.

In school, we put on the wings we made out of hangers and rope and practiced how to use the fairy dust and learnt a few spells! We mixed paints, just to find out that we only need three colors to make so many more.

We even tried to make our colors shine by sprinkling some fairy dust on them.

The result was to make everything around us shine bright, including ourselves!

On Thursday and Friday, we had a wonderful day in the woods!

We looked around for some fairy signs and while looking we found some acorns instead and a little tortoise wandering around.

We built our fairy welcome houses in the trees and decorated them the way we wanted.

Then, we went hunting for colors.

And used what we found to make a rainbow.

And after all this hard work, we set the table and had a cup of tea and biscuits!
