STORY & ACTIVITY TIME: Clara the Cookie Fairy

My daughter got this book as a gift. And both of my girls LOVE it!

Its concept is pretty simple, the main characters are a part of a fairy girl scout type troop who sells cookies to go camping. They make their cookies using magic wands. One girl tosses her wand because she got a new shinier one... well, it breaks and she is so sad she can't find her old one. The fairies end up starting a swap/recycling center and (spoiler alert) she gets her old wand back. Its not very long and its cute and rhymes. I loved the cute and fun way of introducing the importance of recycling!

CRAFT TIME:

The craft was very simple and went directly with the spirit of the book itself. We made wands using only items we could find in our craft boxes. We ended up using some paper straws for the handle, each girl picked out some paper and I cut their favorite shape, we had left over ribbons, stickers, glitter, etc from other projects that we used to decorate.
