Simple wands for children to make

I've been watching the kids run around the garden with their fairy wands *smile*

Ribbons streaming along...
A lovely contrast to the lush green grass

Dino Boy and I made the wands together in a few simple steps using...

~ ribbon

~ wooden dowel

~ felt 

{we used felt that had a sticky side}
~ black marker
~ tape

Dino Boy asked for blue triangles...
And because the felt was thick I cut the pieces for him

He stuck the dowel to one felt triangle with tape {and on the sticky side of the felt}

The ribbon came next, all the colours of the rainbow *smile*

Dino Boy stuck the ribbon to the sticky felt...
....before the other felt triangle was placed on top

For decoration he added coloured felt triangles...

For Little Miss Q he suggested  I make a ladybird....

...so that is just what I did!

{using a black marker}

They've had so much fun running around with them *smile*

And I've had a lovely time watching their play!

Happy crafting,
Kelly
