This simple fairy craft turns out super cute!   And afterwards you can use them in a fairy race.

These craft stick fairies are cute and can be used in a fun fairy game once they are made.  

Fairy Craft

• Craft Sticks
• Clear Tape
• Permanent Markers
• Crayons or Colored Pencils
• Drinking Straws (You will need 2 sizes, one a bit wider than the other.)
• Fairy Wings (Make your own or download these Fairy Wings.)

Use permanent markers to decorate the craft sticks with faces and colorful dresses.

Then decorate your fairy wings with crayons and colored pencils.  Once the wings are finished and cut out, use a looped up piece of clear tape to stick the wings to the fairy’s back.

Cut a 1 1/2 inch long piece from one of the wider drinking straws.  Flatten one end of the straw and wrap tape around the straw and craft stick to secure it to the back of the fairy.  (See image below.)

To make your fairy fly, stick  one of the thinner drinking straws into the straw that is attached to your fairy, lay the fairy flat on the table, and blow.

We had lots of fun creating and racing our fairy craft as one of the fairy birthday party games for my daughter’s party.

And, if not everyone is a fairy fan, you can easily turn them into butterflies, dragonflies, or even a little dragon like my son did.  (See that red dragon on the left that my son made?)

Tips:

• Having trouble getting your fairy to fly?  Check to make sure the straw you are blowing in is only lightly stuck into the attached straw.  Also, make sure there aren’t any air leaks in the straws.

I hope your child enjoys this simple fairy craft as much as mine did.

Our Favorite Kid Craft Supplies

The post Craft Stick Fairy Craft and Fairy Races first appeared on There's Just One Mommy.

One of our favorite crafts every year is building a fairy house for the garden.  (Have a boy?  You can make a beetle house or even a toad house!)   This year we decided to create a seashell fairy house.  It’s the perfect summer craft for all those seashells from the beach.

We started of just as we did with our recycled fairy houses, looking for the perfect plastic container to create the structure.

Once we found one we liked, we got out shells, beads, and other trinkets and started planning.

The first step was cutting a door into the side of our container.  You could also cut out windows if you’d like.

Then we used hot glue to start adding seashells.  Starting along the bottom edge allows you to overlap the shells as you go up.

We used mostly simple white clam shells, adding in some colorful scallop shells here and there.

Then came my daughter’s favorite part.  We added a variety of colorful beads and a pretty silk sunflower to the top of the house.

And because every fairy house should have a bell, we used a bit of pipe cleaner to hang one on the inside of the doorway.

Seashells can also be used to create cute chairs and tables to go inside the house.

And, if you want to keep the fairy house (and potential visitors) safe from the family cat or dog, putting it into a hanging flower basket works great.   This simple seashell craft makes a cute fairy house for the garden and is the perfect summer craft after that trip to the beach.

My daughter loves fairies.  When I found this super cute Pinkalicious: Fairy House book at the library, I knew my daughter would love it.  And I knew we would soon be doing our own fairy craft and building a garden fairy house of our own.

We decided to check the recyclables box for materials for our fairy houses.   I found some large carry-out plates that I thought would be fun to put the fairy house in, that way the fairies could have their very own garden!  My daughter found some other plastic containers to use for the actual fairy houses.  Then we pulled out the craft supplies, looking for odds and ends to decorate with.

Once he heard we were making fairy houses for the garden, my son decided he wanted to join in the fun, but his house was going to be a beetle house.  (He loves beetles!)

I cut the bottoms of the yogurt containers off and hot glued them to the top for roofs.  I also cut doors in the containers, all the while they hunted for just the right objects to decorate with.

My daughter came up with some adorable ideas for inside the fairy house! (I hot glued them to the sides of the house so they would stay put.)

The back wall has a princess sticker. A ribbon wrapped around cotton made a nice bed. And don’t you just love the flower bead on the cap there?

Since we were using the hot glue gun, I took turns with the preschoolers, asking them where to glue each item to their houses.

My youngest decided his beetle houses needed some fun spaceship signs, so we stuck the foam stickers on toothpicks.

Then we went outside, added some potting soil and a few hen and chicken plants and got it all set up.

A nice, shady spot beneath my bleeding heart bush was the perfect spot for a fairy house.

My oldest got very involved decorating her house — the fairies will be impressed!

I have found her several times now just staring at her fairy home, waiting for the fairies to arrive…
