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!
