I had remembered reading the post Easy kid craft- Pipe cleaner flower fairies by one of my fave Crafty mummy blogger pink and green mama.
With our fairy mood on and craft inspiration, we frolicked to the local shops to buy some pipe cleaners, fake flower arrangements and wooden beads.
Soon enough after selecting just the right colours for our fairies and a bit of cutting, threading, twisting and love our fairies were made.
Miss 2 promptly asked were their babies were, so after a bit of experimenting mummy whipped up a boy and girl baby (fairy size of course!).
Then Mr 3 piped up and said were are the boys, so 2 boys were then created with pixie boys in mind, using leaves instead of flower petals.
This activity was so simple but so rewarding, the process of making each fairy was very special.
I thought it would be lovely to enjoy a special afternoon tea party outside with our fairies, after the munchkins afternoon nap but I left that bit a surprise :)
It also coincided with a new food challenge for the munchkins so I thought the fairies/tea party would be just the thing to make this food challenge a bit of fun.
As the munchkins slept, mummy set the scene outside for a fairy tea party with a menu of cinnamon toast for the Munchkins, Mummy and Daddy (cinnamon being the challenge, a great spice to spice up biscuits and all manner of good)...the munchkins later helped to pick a nice selection of flowers for the fairies to nibble on.
You will see from the pics that follow, the munchkins certainly were very wrapped in the whole activity and our fairies remain to be much loved and often come out to play.
I very happy to say the cinnamon challenge was a success!
"ssshhhhhh the babies are asleep"
Miss 2 very happy with the addition of fairy babies
before the munchkins nap they kindly set the fairies down for a nap too :)
the fairies woke up and made themselves comfortable until the munchkins arose
The tea party
We all had a very Fairy Fabulous time!!!!
