Official Sparkle Stories Guide to Fairy-Finding
Where do the fairies visit in your neck of the woods? Some of my favorite memories of parenting young children was observing them as they watched for fairies — building tiny woodland homes, dreaming about fairy activities, and wondering about the mysteries of the world. Their delightful imaginations were supported, of course, through a rich diet of Sparkle Stories fairy tales and crafts.
If you’re curious about cultivating your own children’s eye for fairy activity, you’re in the right place! At Sparkle, we have loads of resources for enriching your kids’ (and your own!) awareness of the glorious fairy world hidden in plain sight. Read on for ideas!
