For all my other mother of fairy/princess loving daughters out there...here is a craft idea I snagged from Family Fun magazine. Ella (and me, ha) had so much fun with it that I just had to pass it along.
1. Go outside and collect a handful of grasses, leaves, flowers, or anything that might make an interesting fairy costume.
2. Draw a stick figure outline on paper.
3. Use your nature collections to design a fairy and her outfit.
Simple and free. Two of my favorite words.
Here's what Ella and I came up with...
Feel free to pass along any of your simple and free craft ideas!

Making play dough or clay that you bake and paint is always fun and it just uses stuff in your pantry like flour and salt. It was a big hit at day camp last year (good for all ages too!).
Love this idea!! :) - Heidi Grooms
