Fairy Time Fun

This has been a magical week at the library.  Tuesday Zap the Magician gave us an inside look into the world of magic during our teen magic workshop.  Everyone learned some great tricks and even some performance tips when showing magic to your friends and family.

Today we had more than 60 kids make a fairy house to take home.  During the two hour workshop we had more than 100 people visit and construct some very cool houses that are sure to attract some fairies to local neighborhoods. Barb Toth and her group of volunteers helped everyone construct a fairy from simple materials and allowed each participant to pick out the hair color and skirt colors.  There was even fairy food to put into the little dishes in order to attract hungry fairies.

Kids worked for hours and the results were amazing.  You can make your own fairy house at home using things like pine cones, leaves, and things you find around your yard.

For more ideas on constructing fairy houses you might want to check out Fairy Houses by Tracy Kane or some of the other books and movies available at the Amherst Public Library.
