Tell A Fairytale Day

By : Emma

Fairy Tale Day is a day where adults and children are encouraged to share fairy tales and other stories of fantasy and intrigue . The theme of fairytales provides a variety of options , why not have a fancy-dress day where the children dress as their favourite fairy tale character , or have a professional storyteller come in and read to the class , even better get some parents to come in and read . As well as the usual story sequencing cards , play dough mats and masks available to you we thought it would be nice to give you some unusual ideas for activities and crafts .
Make a magical sensory tray for exploration or even for mark making , if age appropriate . Add some fairy dust and a wand to enthuse the children ’ s ’ imaginations !
