As you may have noticed, we have been sharing some Fairy Tale Crafts on the site recently – they compliment our collection of Nursery Rhyme Crafts too!. My kids are JUST at that age, where they love Fairy Tales and can’t get enough of them. They are 6yrs and 4yrs old and I guess their addiction is also fuelled by Fairy Tale Activities at Preschool and School. So Fairy Tales it…. and when we say Fairy Tale Crafts we don’t JUST mean the fairy tale crafts for the littlies (though of course those are particularly popular), but also Fairy Tale crafts for older kids and grown ups (who doesn’t love a little bit of Alice in Wonderland magic?!). If you love Fairy Tales but are specifically looking for DRAGON CRAFTS, we have a whole section dedicated to those! Lets get stuck into these wonderful Preschool Crafts today! Enjoy!
Don’t forget to also check out the 40 Nursery Song Craft ideas!
