sparkle crafts: earth fairy crafts
Earth fairies, as we learned earlier this week, are gnomes. They live in the earth and feel very at home with rocks and soil and roots. We've rounded up four sparkle crafts that we think any earth fairy would really love.
Mudballs and Mud Critters
I think playing in the mud must be an earth fairy's favorite medium for playig with children. There is something transformative about mud. It draws in even the most reluctant child after a while with its cool, moldable, spreadable, paintable, messy quality. These mudball critters are just the thing to get your child connecting with the earth.
Rainy Boot “Hens and Chicks” Planters
I think gardeners are part earth fairy. I certainly feel like an earth fairy. Everywhere I go, I have to put roots down and grow things. This easy upcycled planter is a great way to get in touch with your inner earth fairy.
Egg Carton Seed Starters
The best way to connect kids to the earth is to have them put seeds in ground. Have them tend to the seeds and watch the roots grow.
Peace Owl Amulets
I imagine that if I was to receive a gift from the earth fairies, this would be it. These stone amulets are adorable and easy to carry.
