Fun Fairy Tale Inspired Activities

We recently finished our Fairy Tale Unit. It was lots of fun with a variety of projects from baking to video-logging. I'm sure we covered science, math, art, reading, writing, and more.

I'm working on posting all our activities. As I get them done, I'll be posting links to each below. The basket craft is already linked. Make sure to come back for the next installment of this adventure.

Our activities included:

1. Re-Discovering Your Favorite Fairy Tales

Answering the question "What is a Fairy Tale?" then finding common elements in your favorite classic fairy tale stories.

2. Small Paper Basket Craft
This craft fits nicely with a fairy tale unit as some characters have baskets and there is mention of weaving. For this project all you need is recycled magazine pages and glue!

3. Goldilocks-Inspired Tea Party
Baking muffins, learning Spanish and an outdoor tea party - all inspired by the fairy tale story of Goldilocks.

4. Fairytale Breakfast

Servings conversion chart (math activity), and cooking porridge.

5. Fairy Tale Castle Poster

Map out elements of a fairy tale story using construction paper.

6. Fractured Fairy Tale Activities

Discussion of What is a Fractured Fairy Tale? How to Write a Fractured Fairy Tale? Playing the telephone game, writing and art activities.

7. Video-Logging

Hear about some of these activities from the kids!
My girls have been video-logging their days and responding to their projects. I'm excited to share these soon.
