Fairy Class - Week 4 Nighttime Fairies

My little fairy is having the best time playing with big girls and glitter! What fun we had making sparkly and glittery stars to hang up to attract the nighttime fairies. We then snacked on star fruit and apples cut to show the star inside. Then it was time for a sweet treat of star cupcakes that we dressed up with pink icing (a fairy favorite color) and sprinkles. We read a beautifully illustrated book, Goodnight Fairies while we snacked. I am sure the night fairies were busy that night , these girls made some beautiful sparkles.








So much glitter, so much fun!

More sparkles!

Ready to hang.

Fairy Class - Week 3 Sugarplums & Nutcrackers

Sugarplums and The Nutcracker were our fairies for the week, so we needed sugar to honor the sugarplum fairies. The little fairies had cream cheese that they coated with powdered sugar and added a peppermint flavor. We then put it in the freezer to set a little before forming it into balls for edible mints. There had to be a sweet sugar fairy floating through all the sugar "clouds" we created by clapping our powdery hands together!

Next it was on to our craft of mouse ballerinas. This was a wee bit challenging due to all the steps but everyone left with a ballerina fairy! Hopefully they will hold up as some of the future projects will give them somewhere to live!




Pipe cleaners formed the arms and the leotard on the body. Fairies could position them any way they wanted. This ballerina is in "high 5th position" I was told.

Emma looks as cute as her fairy!

To finish up the day we made edible wands out of Rice Krispie treats. Cut in a circle we pushed a stick in and decorated with sprinkles. Ready to eat or play. Mrs. Walton even packaged them up so that we could give them to a special someone.

Can we eat them??

A Fairy Special Class - Winter and Snow, Week 2

Our second week of Fairy Class and the weather cooperated in giving us another blast of cold winter weather to go along with our winter and snow week. It was a busy day making edible snowflakes from tortillas, snowy milkshakes, and snowy fairy houses from sugar cubes. Everything is glittery and sparkling and heavily embellished in this class, it is very much girl world!

We started by folding and cutting our tortilla's just as you would make a snowflake out of paper, except you have to wash your scissors! We then gave them a quick squirt of cooking spray and decorated them with blue sprinkles and powdered sugar to give them a wintry look. They were popped in the oven to get crisp. Check out our cool snowflake shapes. These little fairies are very creative, but most fairies are so they must be the real ones!







Mrs. Walton gave us a quick spray of cooking spray. Then it was time to decorate!













When they came out of the oven they were crispy like tortilla chips but much more beautiful. Fairies love pretty food!







This little fairy even has a sparkly top on!




Fairy friends and what a beautiful crown!











While our tortillas baked we made a home for winter fairies. Those fairies love the snow and cold so we created a house made from icy snow (sugar cubes) and used icing for the mortar. We decorated them with our wintry blue sprinkles. If I were a winter fairy I would feel right at home in these snowy creations!










This one has a touch of spring with some blooms coming up, I think I would move in here.



While we worked Mrs. Walton whipped up a snowy vanilla milkshake with snowballs (marshmallows) on top. Yum!



Good to the last drop!

Fairy Erin loves to hang out with the older fairies who treat her as one of their own.

I would have to say that the milkshakes were quite a hit! We had a lot of projects going on but these fairies followed the fairy friendship code. They were loving, kind, and helpful to each other. And they had fun and laughed.

See you all next week.
