A week of fairy activities isn’t complete without building a fairy wand!

Materials:

• Stick, about 12 inches long
• Decorating materials: ribbon, twine or wire; beads, bells, gems, or crystals; sparkles: glitter, glitter glue, sequins
• Adventurous additions: hot glue, air-dry clay, paint

The Steps:

1. Go outside and look for a stick or branch.  Choose one that has already fallen if possible.  You’ll know when you find the right stick.  It will feel good in your hand.
2. Make the wand your own.
   1. Wind ribbon, twine, or wire around the stick. Add beads or bells if you’d like.
   2. Use hot glue to give your wand texture. Paint over it once the glue dries. Leave it clear or sprinkle glitter while the glue is still wet.
   3. Use hot glue or tacky glue to attach an acorn, shell, rock, or crystal to the tip of your wand.
