introducing a quarantine activity for all, the fairylandproject!! My neighbor Michele and I dreamt up this idea while walking in the woods.
As moms we really feel for all those parents with small children that don't have playgrounds or playdates to help fill these quarantine days. We thought that the chance to spot a fairy might help get young ones excited to go on a walk in the woods.
It is a project for all and a 'social distance' project. And it is important to remember that there is no right or wrong way to participate, although we hope that everyone will be mindful about what materials they are placing in the wildness. Be considerate of materials that might harm local wildlife!!
The idea of the fairylandproject is that anyone can make a fairy (any kind of fairy you want) and then go place it in your local woods or an area that a small child (or anyone) could spy it. This is not a location specific project!! anyone can make a fairy and place it in a wooded area! We have started it here, in the Natick woods, but anyone can do it anywhere!! WE also gave them names but that is not necessary - though if you want, we just wrote on white peddles with a sharpie!
We have started a FB group just so that there would a place where people could learn about the project. Also people can share the project and post, if they want, a picture of their fairy and their fairy's location, and/or share any fairy-making ideas or suggestions, and/or post pictures of found fairies.
This project is about spreading some magic and wonder during this extraordinary chapter in our global history.
