A backyard fairy wand craft! What could be more fun?!
We love simple crafts that incorporate natural materials into them and this shimmering fairy wand craft is no exception. We explored out backyard and found the most perfect sticks to turns into these!
This sparkly fairy craft also makes a fun pretend play prop! My daughter and the daycare kids run around for hours outside being fairies and wizards with their “magic wands.” Our dog often gets turned into a frog or a giant monster with these wands. It’s so fun to watch them play with them, their imaginations create such fun stories.

When the paint has dried, get out your sequins and glue gun. Apply a strip of hot glue to one side.
