Fairyland Trust Workshop - waiting for the Wand MakersWhen we asked what they wanted to see in this year’s Book Festival, one of the things the children wanted was some magic. Lots of children’s stories are written about dragons, castles, kings and queens and fairies and it’s a great way to stimulate a child’s imagination. Some parents have mentioned to us the Rainbow Magic Fairy series and the lovely pop-up books by Maggie Bateson and Louise Comfort.
Once upon a time the countryside was ancient, magical and natural. Today agribusiness and development have robbed our children of this inheritance. The Fairyland Trust exists to turn back this tide of destruction, rekindle ancient countryside and re-create habitats and make the land fit for fairies again.
Well, what could be more magical that some visitors from the Fairyland Trust?
We have managed to persuade some people in the know to come and tell us magical stories, and then run a workshop. The emphasis in on the magical aspect and will appeal to boys as well as girls. We have a choice of making wands, wings, animal shields, crowns, gardens, lanterns, potions and jewels, even dragons.
