Fairy Tea Party 2018

Even though I have retired from StrongStart there are some activities that I love and will continue.

One is the Fairy Tea Party.

All set up.

Greeting the little fairies when they arrived.

Fairy Maureen explained how many doors were hidden around the park.

She gave each child a pipe cleaner with a bell tied to it.

When they find a door, beside it is a jar of beads, they take one bead and thread it on their pipe cleaner.

That way they can keep count of how many doors they found.

She also asked them to gently ring the bell beside each door to say thanks to the fairies for the gift.

Off they went running, searching and having fun.

Finding a door, collecting their bead and stringing it on.

Then off again.

After finding all the doors they went to find Fairy Maureen for tea.

Yum, fairy cakes and tea.

It was a wet morning but the fairies and gnomes didn't mind.

Fairy House

This past weekend our grand daughter came to visit us.

She was in play heaven.

Going between Nana's playroom and

 outside with Opa to his trains.

But one toy that she really enjoyed playing with this time was 

the Fairy Box.

I first blogged about it here.

In four months her interest and ability to participate in imaginative play has grown.

 Did the fairy fall down or is she sleeping?

"Sleep" says the little one.

I found a few little extra pieces for the Fairy Box.

She is pouring some tea for the fairies

and eventually her baby doll.
