"If you want your children to be intelligent, read them fairy tales. If you want them to be more intelligent, read them more fairy tales." Albert Einstein

"A lady with whom I was riding in the forest said to me that the woods always seemed to her to wait, as if the genii who inhabit them suspend their deeds until the wayfarer had passed onward; a thought which poetry has celebrated in the dance of the fairies, which breaks off on the approach of human feet." Ralph Waldo Emerson

"I think, at a child's birth, if a mother could ask a fairy godmother to endow it with the most useful gift, that gift would be curiosity" Eleanor Roosevelt

"Have you ever thought that you had seen something moving very quickly just outside of your field of vision? Have you ever smelt a faint scent of flowers or perfume and know that there were none around? Have you ever felt like someone or something was playing in your hair (or pulling it) when you were alone?" anon

Message from the Fairy Queen

Titania

Your child can develop a sense of wonder, creativity, confidence, appreciation of nature. And have the most delightful, fairy-filled and magical fairy experience possible, that they will cherish all their lives.

"Fairies are winged beings of the elemental kingdom; we are nature's angels. We live somewhere between physical matter and complete spiritual essence - we live in the essence of 'all that is' rather than the actual physicality of your world; but we all love to come into your world and watch you play. And sometime join in if we can."

The fairies offer of help

Lulubelle

Fairies want to help children learn and grow up fit and strong, clever and smart. Let them help you in whatever you want to do, especially learning projects, things about the natural world and how we can let them help us, how they willingly, help children who ask and believe.

"Teach me, Fairies, teach me". That's what we hear a lot from children and we oblige every time we can. Hello, I'm one of the teacher fairies. My name's Illateachawechafaewaylurnyalotswitlulubelle. If that's too much to remember, just call me Lulubelle, everyone does; or just Lulu. And you can call on me anytime if you want to learn or find out anything. I'd love to help you with your learning and your schooling and your hobbies and your sports."

How to feel, sense and see fairies

Pilliwiggin

There are many ways to experience a fairy presence; the most widely used is the feel-see method that children do instinctively and intuitively. With a little application and patience parents can join in too! You begin to feel fairies all around many times a day and it feels great!

"Children experience fairies through a 'feel-see' emotional mechanism that employs all their senses at the same time. They simply know when fairies are present. There is an atmospheric imprint in the locality, all the senses are heightened and the imagination does the rest. Just believe them when they tell you."

Asraii

"When you help a person, bird or animal in need they may be a fairy princess or prince, a fairy godmother or even the Fairy Queen herself, in disguise. (Pssst…..look closely and you may see a little glitter escaping). If you have a bush or a tree in your garden or one that you like to walk to, you can write a note to the fairies and leave it in a nook, a cranny, crack or crevice for the fairies to read. Tell us that you'd like to meet us and that you're ready for us to come into your life. And we will, in one form or another."

Fairies for all seasons and elements

Florabunda

Tells you about fairies, the main groups, their jobs, their roll, mission and purpose; who does what in your world and beyond. Air, earth, flower and water and all other types of fairy, all have their jobs and fun things to do; what they want most for humans and how they work in the natural world and for the environment; and how you can have fun doing what they do.

"For instance, if you have red or yellow flowers in your garden it's quite likely that the fire fairies will take a turn in growing them; if you have bird-feeders and splash pools it is likely that the water and the air fairies will come and lend a hand; if you have a garden pool or pond, it is possible that the earth fairies will come along to help the water plants grow. So everyone helps everyone else; another lesson for human beings from the fairy realm."

"You will hear our songs and laughter in the whistling of the wind, the babbling of a brook, the rustle of the leaves and the chatter in the trees. Some movement seen out of the corner of your eye, some sense there is an unseen friend behind you; some feeling that you've been in this place before, a shiver down the spine and other unexplained physical responses; it's just fairies having fun with your feelings, to stretch your senses a little bit further, to help you engage with the other-worldliness that you know is out there longing for you to feel it."

Making fairy houses

Finn Bheara

Learn how to build all manner of delightful dwellings that will attract fairy folk. Build them high, build the low; build them anywhere you like at any season in any style for any reason, or no reason at all; then sit back be patient and see who comes to call: flying visitors, picnic guests, maybe even a few friendly residents.

"Children connecting with fairies through the building of fairy houses and other dwelling places will develop and nurture their awareness of other fantasy realms and dimensions of existence, which growing up and adult and material influences can soon cause them to forget. It also helps with a child's sensitivity, stimulates their imagination and fosters a much-prized connection with and appreciation of the natural world."

Creating intriguing indoor fairy realms

Gives you the inside knowledge to create indoor fairy realms such as a dreamy bedroom, loving nursery, a fairy statue family, delightful indoor havens and an appreciation of the changing fairy seasons and how to enjoy them.

"Your imagination will guide you, the most important thing is that the house should sparkle and glitter on the inside and out and that there should be plenty of openings for the fairies to fly in and out of, through the windows, through the doors, through a hole you've made in the first floor. You can also now add fairy furniture and all sorts of fairy items so that the wee flying folk are more likely to come and visit you because you've created such a splendid house."

"A ribbon foretells a future full of fine clothes; a biscuit or small cake shows the fairies will make sure you'll never go hungry and always have the best of everything to eat. When you receive the gift left by the fairies in place of your lost tooth, you can make a wish on the items that have been left there. Each wish should be for the area that the gift represents; wish for money on the coin; clothes on the ribbon; birthday party feast on the biscuits, you get the idea..."

The real fairy rings

Muma Padura

Discover the truth about fairy rings. Real fairy rings are a delight for fairies and humankind. And easy to create. They're another thing to do to attract fairies to your garden, yard, balcony or window box. You can even create them yourself, out in nature, near your fairy house, in your secret woodland clearing or heath land dell that you visit often on your walks and rambles. You'll save your fairy friends the trouble and they'll appreciate that.

"Listen, the modern day fairy ring is not a true fairy ring at all and you wouldn't get a true fairy going anywhere near them. They are actually fungus rings that started at the centre point of the ring and gradually grew outwards forming an ever-increasing, a larger and larger ring, under the grass and pushing up the soil to make the ring noticeable. Not nice. These so-called fairy rings are dull and dense, not at all like fairies who are light and fresh and free."

Feastie Bee

All kinds of ideas for fairy food to make and bake for fun, filling-up and feasting; all you need for delighting children in the fairy way.

Food fairies like and don't; what they will and won't welcome and how they get nourishment from the morsels and titbits you leave. And all the fairy food frolics everyone has.

"But whatever you do, please don't leave cheese. It's just too tempting! Fairies have been known to cross over into the mortal world to marry a cheese-giver-lover. But that kind of relationship never lasts because every fairy that ever became mortal could only sustain that state for three years and three days. Then they had to return to fairyland. But just think about the amount of delicious cheese of all kinds you could eat in three years. Yummy!"

Fun fairy things to do at parties or any time

Hollie

Plenty of fairy activities indoor and out. Things to do, make and create together. You can include these ideas in your parties and celebrations or just anytime you fancy some fairy activity. Sparkle & Glitter Things, Make a fairy doll, Make a bracelet/necklace, Pass the Parcel, Hide and Seek, Find the Fairies, Scavenger Hunt, Messy Fairy Faces, Fairy Tattoos, Fairy Treasure Trail 'Shooting Stars, Petal Pouncing, Puck's Piñata and more'

"Any fairy worth her wings just loves to have a treasure hunt or a scavenger hunt. For a treasure hunt you could hide some coins. Say to the players that the coin fairy had a hole in her pocket and has dropped her coins all over the house/garden and for every one a child finds they will get a chocolate coin in return. You need to give hints though, where the coins are, otherwise the hunting fun will go on all night. Second thought, don't give any clues."

Fairy high days and holidays to celebrate

Alven

Here's a list of special fairy celebration days that you could use as an excuse for a party or other celebration. And some useful information too! It's a calendar of fairy days so you know the important days to celebrate; you make your own festivities on any or all of these days and join your fairy friends in celebration of a wonderful world.

"7th August is Lammastyde. On this day at dawn, fairy dwellings that are underground rise to the surface to greet the morning sun and stay, basking in the golden light, for three days (and three nights). Make sure that your fairy house gets as much of the full morning sun for those three days. If you place a tiny piece of mirror near your fairy house, facing the sun, it will show your fairy friends you want to give back a little of the golden light that is shining upon your fairy house in gratitude for the warmth and sparkle that the summer sun bestows."
