Hey Guys! And Fairy Figurines
Fairy Figurines Questions
i need a fairy figurine with my girlfriend’s face on it please help?
please help me its a birthday surprise please help me
When do you need it by? What kind of fairy, how big?
I think it would be best for you to make it!
I would find a picture of a fairy online that you like and print it out. Use different objects that are meaningful to you both and attach them with a silver wire. For the head, print a picture of her face and glue it onto a wooden ball. Use yarn for hair, glue it on. I think it would look really cool!!!
How to Use Crystal Figurines With Fairy Tales
Most people wouldn’t connect crystal figurines with fairy tales, but you can do that and create an exciting adventure for your child. Using a little imagination, you can make reading a fairy tale more interesting and meaningful for your child by giving your child a crystal figurine that goes along with the story.
Pick a crystal animal figurine related to the main character or animal in the fairy tale. As an example, if you are reading Goldilocks and the Three Bears, give your child a crystal bear figurine. When you give the figurine isn’t critical. You can present it when you start the story, after you’ve read it or several weeks later. The one thing you can count on is kids love these stories and your child will have you read them dozens of times.
Here’s why using a crystal animal figurine with the fairy tales is a good idea. First, for some inexplicable reason, very young children create in their own minds a very strong connection between the figurine and the story. Perhaps it is because having the figurine there while you are reading you are adding a concrete element (something your child can hold onto) to what would otherwise be an abstract experience. You are creating a strong association in your child’s mind. Once you have several figurines, your child will probably go to the figurine shelf, grab one and hand it to you and say, “Read this one.” If that happens, you’ll know that a very strong association has been made.
You can also carry this connection one step further. By the time you’ve read the story for the fifteenth time, you’ll be ready for this idea. Ask your child to make up a story about the crystal animal. Let your child give the figurine a name, a place to live, a favorite food or whatever else that fertile little imagination can produce. By doing this you are stimulating your child’s creativity and imagination and the stories you get will be very entertaining for you and a welcome relief as well.
If you are ambitious (and not too tired at night) write down your child’s stories and put them into a book. Encourage your little one to add the art work. It will be a great project for both of you.
The second reason is one of accumulation. Over a period of several years you will have established a reasonable collection of crystal animals and crystal figurines. No doubt your son or daughter will lose interest in the figurines and fairy tales as he/she grows older. After all, there are more important things to consider like concerts, school sports, the latest music, graduation, college and let’s not forget members of the opposite sex. Don’t despair! All is not lost.
If and when the interest is gone and if you don’t have room to display the figurines, carefully pack up all the figurines and story books. Store them in your attic or a closet. Be patient, your next big event is just around the corner. Wait for those thrilling words, “Mom, Dad, we’re going to have a baby.”
Decide when the time is right and rummage through the attic for those crystal figurines, fairy tales and story books. Pass then on to your son or daughter. A flood of memories will come back to both of you. Now your child can repeat the process with your grandchild. Your beautiful memories and little treasures will pass from one generation to the next and perhaps even the next. Imagine what you have just created – another family heirloom and tradition.
No doubt you can find many other ways how to use crystal animal figurines along with the fairy tales and stories you read to your child. Have fun! The whole process is quite enjoyable from beginning to end. Crystal animal figurines and fairy tales really do go together.
