3 Little Magic Fairy Crafts

Faeries love making magical things happen! Especially when they are fun, make you giggle, and everything you need to do them can be found in the cupboard.

Here are a few ideas that don’t need any magic words.

1. Magic pictures.

You need:

  • A white candle

  • A paintbrush

  • Water and food dye mixed together ( just a bit of both)

  • White paper.

It works best if a grown up takes the candle and uses it to draw a picture on the paper ( you cant see it so it is a bit tricky). Then with the food dye and water mix, paint over the picture and ABRACADABRA, it reveals the image!
*note - it is a bit messy and food colouring can stain so be careful where you do it.

For older kids you can draw clues. For example, for nursery rhymes, movie titles, book titles.

2. Rainbow bubble art

This is one of my favourites! So much fun.

You need:

  • 3 smallish tubs or largish bowls of water.

  • Food dye

  • Dishwashing detergent.

  • A straw.

  • Paper that fits inside your tub or bowl.

Add the dishwashing detergent and a splash of ONE colour into each tub. Yellow, blue and red work well for this.
Pucker up those magic lips to your straw and blow blow blow! (DO NOT SUCK) Blow until the top of your tub or bowl is filled with tiny bubbles. Lay your paper softly and carefully on top for a few seconds. It doesn’t go into the water, just sits on top of bubbles. Remove paper and you should be greeted by a soft smattering of beautiful faerie bubbles. Makes great wrapping paper, or cut out butterfly shapes.

3.Faerie Swirls.

A very gorgeous fairy friend of mine introduced me to this little magic recipe.

You need:

  • A small bowl with a little dash of milk in it.

  • Dishwashing liquid (squirt a little into a small saucer, or even a jar lid)

  • A toothpick.

  • Food dye

With a few centimetres of milk in the bowl ( full cream works best), drop a few little drops of different colour food dyes in. Not too much, a little drop here and there.
Take the toothpick and scrape it through the dishwashing liquid. Now poke that into the milk, and watch what happens. Pretty cool magic! Put a little more dishwashing liquid onto the toothpick and poke the milk again, swirl it just a little!

I find this one so mesmerising and if you take some pictures while it swirls and billows and changes, you can then search out magic pictures in the photos! What do the shapes and squiggles look like?
You can drop more dye in as you go, until your milk is all muddy… but sometimes, just when you think it’s all gone, one more swooooooooosh, and it’s magical again!
