Craft Supplies:

Before you start, gather all the materials you’ll need. This includes:

  • Cardstock Paper
  • Craft Scissors
  • Craft Paint or Paint Crayon Sticks
  • Large Paper Plate
  • Thin Tip Markers
  • Adhesive Wiggle Eyes
  • Hand-Held Office Stapler
  • Large Burlap Leaves
  • Jumbo Popsicle Sticks
  • Hot Glue Gun
  • Loose Craft Glitter
  • optional materials – small bows, stickers

Directions: 

  • First things first – take some cardstock paper and cut out a circular head and another smaller circle for the “bun” of the fairy. Adhere those together.
  • Use markers or paint to draw on a face on the cardstock piece.
  • Add the wiggle eyes for the fairy to see. Set aside.
  • Grab the burlap leaf and craft paint. Paint or color in the “dress” of the fairy in the center of the leaf {use our picture for example of where} This step is great to do on top of a large paper plate, so the paint doesn’t get all over and on your working area. Once done, set it aside to let it dry.
  • Add glitter on top of the wet paint if desired.
  • Now get the glue gun hot and ready.
  • Staple your cardstock head to the leaf cutout.
  • Now hot glue the leaf piece to a single popsicle stick.
  • Add other embellishments you see fit and will complete your craft.
  • Once done, set it all aside to let it dry completely before playing with your autumn leaf fairies proudly!

By following these steps, you and your children can craft magical fairies that inspire storytelling and play. Remember, the most important part of this craft is to have fun and enjoy the process together.

Craft Activity Safety Guidelines:

Always Ensure Adult Supervision - Young children should be supervised at all times when engaging in craft activities. This is essential to keep them safe and ensure materials are used correctly. Use Age-Appropriate Supplies - Choose craft supplies that are suitable for your child’s age. Check labels for recommendations and avoid items with small parts or sharp edges for younger children. Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible. Organize and Secure Supplies - Keep all craft tools and materials organized. Store sharp objects, small parts, and potentially hazardous items out of reach when not in use. Following these guidelines will ensure that crafts remain fun, creative, and, most importantly, safe for everyone involved!
