Midsummer's Eve Fairy Cakes

For our Mid Summer's Eve Party we made these wee fairy sized cakes from two vanilla sandwich style cookies. Then we decorated them as you might a regular sized cake! See how they look like mini layer cakes when cut! And they are Organic, except for the wee bit of sprinkles. We got the idea from the book Tiny Treats. We also read the book the flower's festival, created "sun" spin art and crafted fairies attached to sticks and danced them at twilight. It was a magical evening.

Mother Earth Kindy Loom and Weaving

My son has been attending a part time, all outdoor kindy class and this was there beautiful hand work project that they worked on. They sawed the branches, drilled holes and pound in pegs to make the loom. She told them a Native American story about the how the bottom of the loom is the earth, the top the sky and the strings are the rain. Then they weaved Grass at the bottom for the earth, and a multi colored wool yarn with dark purples (mountains and stones), greens (grass and hills, meadows) blues ( streams, lakes, rivers) and pinks (wildflowers) then she showed them how drop spindled the yellow into yarn for the sunshine! We loved Mother Earth Kindy!
