A little Fairy Reminder!

I'm sure everyone will agree getting kids to eat their greens is next to ImPoSsIbLe............


I thought a friendly reminder from our fairy friend Fleur might get the point across in a fun way.


Fleur our fairy  left a tiny box of "Fairy Cabbages" (Spussel Sprouts in the base of a matchbox) sprinkled with a little edible glitter outside our fairy door today.  In her letter to the kids she exclaimed "Although us fairies invented and absolutely adore fairy cakes, it is super important to eat up all your vegetables. So I picked some yummy fairy cabbages from my garden for you to enjoy.  I seen last year that you grew some vegetables and herbs in your garden, I had a little word with the garden fairies this morning and they have promise to make your garden bloom come spring." she also promised to reward them with a fairy cake (aka a mini chocolate chip muffin) if they eat all their vegetables for one whole week!!!

It will be interesting to see if this works :0),

I came across this picture on google images of a broccoli fairy house. I re sized it to the size of a stamp, printed it off and wrote the letter on the reverse side like a postcard.

Unicorn Poop..........

On Wednesday morning, the kids woke up to find a trail of white glitter and what appeared to be tiny horse hoof marks trailed across our fireplace and window sill.  The next day there was a "Fairy Mail" waiting for the kids when they got home from school. In the letter Fleur our fairy apologised for the mess she had made :0), she went on to explain that she was having so much fun playing with her unicorn "Gem" all night that she didn't realise it was morning until she heard the kids running down the stairs.  She had to dash as fairies are very shy and didn't have time to clean up her Unicorns poop!!! How messy is our little Fairy :0),

To do this I designed, printed and cut out a stencil of some horse shoes.  Then I placed it on the fireplace and sieved some icing sugar over it, lifted the stencil very carefully to reveal the tiny horse hooves.  I sprinkles some white glitter, along with some smarties and multi-coloured sprinkles.  I wanted to use white chocolate chips and multicoloured star sprinkles but my local shopping centre was sold out :0(, But this worked just fine!

I've attached a copy of the stencil I made in-case you fancy doing this for your kids!
