Fairies & The Innocence & Imagination Of Childhood

I know it's been a while since I have posted here, but I'm trying to make it up to you by sharing about a blog post by another blogger I found named Andi over at Poot & Cubby who made a truly beautiful blog post called And I Held Fairies In My Hands.

It is a truly wonderful, beautifully written blog post about the dreams and belief of children and, as she wrote about her daughter's truly innocent belief in the magic of fairies, I couldn't help but think of my little 4 year old and 6 year old daughters.

Fairy Gift Shop

While browsing the Internet, I came across this enchanting little fairy gift shop.

It's got some really lovely fairy gifts, such as figurines, stencils, jewelry and books which are all fairy-themed.

Fairy Myths & Legends Web Site

Here is a web site with fairy stories, from Native to Eastern.

Fairy Stories

Enjoy reading "The Stone in the Road," "The Flying Taro," and other stories.

Fairy Pictures

My daughters love dressing up as fairies, so we keep some costumes on hand for them to play with from time to time.

Make Your Puppy Into A Fairy

I found this site that teaches you how to make a fairy costume (wings) for your puppy. I'm assuming the wings would look as good on a cat too (although my cat would never forgive me if I tried to dress him in fairy wings).

How to Make Fairy Wings

I searched the web for ways to make fairy wings for my daughters and this site was by far the best one I came across: http://hubpages.com/hub/fairywings

It makes the process very simple and straightforward. The materials needed for it don't look very expensive either.

My six year old and 3 year old daughters love to dress up as fairies, but I am unimpressed by the fairy wings that usually come with the costumes. Making our own seems like a great solution!

How To Make A Fairy Garden

Found this site about how to make a fairy garden: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-a-Faerie-Garden

I think I might do this with my 6 year old and 3 year old. They lopve anything to do with fairies and would love the idea of making a fairy garden. It'll have to wait for nicer weather though.
