Wednesday, March 05, 2008  9:24 PMGo ahead, make a fairy! 
Angela checks out some fairies having some downtime at Sophie's birthday party. I haven't had a chance to write about the birthdays (Sophie's, and Peter and Angela's), the RAINBOW birthday party with giggly 5-year-olds, or the twins' birthday party coming up. So here's a start: the craft we did at Sophie's birthday. We made clothespin fairies! Totally fun, doesn't have to make a mess, and easy for little hands to make. And after you've made your fairy, you can go have an adventure together! You need: * wooden clothespins (not the kind with the spring!) * pipe cleaners * crepe paper (we used streamers, they're the perfect size for dresses) * waxed paper to cut out for wings * markers/crayons/paints * yarn or a toothpick for a wand * any other fun details - sequins, glitter, flowers Here are the instructions - and note - Petey's fairy had no dress, and a wand that shot flames! This does not have to be a girly craft, and naturally you can adopt this to make anything your kids want. Print this out and send it with extra supplies to a friend who's home sick from school or lives far away. So go! Have fun! And please, if you make fairies, send me the pictures or post a link to them, we want to see them! 
*Note: I have to confess, we had another round of fairy-making this afternoon, and I started two (uh, for me!) with glitter-watercolours. When they're finished we'll take all of them in the backyard and have a photo shoot! french toast girl
