This Fairy Day, bring magic into your life and home by making these whimsical and fun fairy crafts for kids! Perfect to play with or to gift your friends!

When I was a kid, one of my favorite book series was the one with the Faraway Tree. Firstly, the idea of different lands appearing at the top of the tree was too exciting. Secondly, what fun characters lived in the tree!

While all the characters had their good and bad points, there was one who was almost perfect – Silky the fairy. She was my favorite character, and I longed to have a fairy like her as a friend!
