Wrapping Up the Fairy Gardens

If you've been following our blogs, you will remember the beginning of our fairy gardens.  We started off with a large 3 foot branch, spray painted and mounted on a wood base.  
 


We painted it, and added nests. We also made necklaces with the pictures of our fairies.


We then made toadstools so our fairies would have chairs.


We read stories, watched a movie and named our fairies.  The children all participated in making a fairy poster too.


We wrapped up our garden by making mini take-home gardens with each child. 
We also made our own take-home fairies to live in our gardens.

The children loved this unit study.  They loved making their own personal fairies to take home, which wasn't that difficult to make with this age group.  Now to get creative with another unit with PattyKakesKidz.

  2. Riley was so proud to bring home his project today! He even warned me about the parts that were "a little sharp, but not too bad."
