PAIR YOUR LEAF FAIRY PUPPETS WITH —> Chalk Art Fairy
Craft Supplies:
* Wooden Clothespins {one per leaf fairy}
* Plastic Leaves {Dollar Tree is great for them!}
* School Glue
* Paint Pens {or craft paint & paint brushes}
optional materials – rhinestones, glitter, glitter glue
Directions:
* First have children grab the paint pens and draw on a face, hair and dress portion on the clothespin. I also painted on some ballerina slippers towards the bottom to complete my fairy look.
* At this point, children can also add even more embellishments {like scrapbook stickers, glitter, rhinestones} that they see fit to really make it their own. Remember – you can also add some long yarn or cardstock hair too!
* To finish off the Clothespin Leaf Fairies – glue on a plastic decor leaf to the back of the clothespin to give the look of wings.
* Once finished, let it dry completely and display proudly!
