Patterns for fairy wings

Do you need some inspiration? There are a few ideas below.

Sparkly Fairy Wings

Print out your wings of choice onto card stock or print on paper and stick them onto cardboard. Colour the fairy wing outline with pretty bright colours and then add sparkles using glitter, sequins, mosaic squares or tin foil. Cut out the amazing fairy wings and fold them in half.

Fancy Dress Fairy Wings

You could attach the sparkly fairy wings from above to elastic and your small person can float around the garden pretending to be a beautiful butterfly.

Butterfly Game / Role Play

Butterflies are exciting creatures. They

taste with their feet
can’t move when it’s cold
transform from a caterpillar in a process called metamorphosis
and don’t have a mouth so they can’t eat anything – they only drink nectar and muddy puddles through Proboscis (an elongated sucking mouthpart that’s tubular and flexible).

Use these fun facts to play a game…wearing the fancy dress wings from above ask your small person to run around the garden, then shout one of the following cues and they act it out.

Cue	Action
Taste	Use feet to small a flower, grass or the air
Drink a muddy puddle	Have a drink or water (from a cup you got them)
Drink nectar	Pretend to drink a flower, using their arm as a Proboscis (what the butterfly drinks through)
The weather is Cold, Warm or Hot	Stand still, walk slowly, run around
Metamorphosis	Curl up in a ball and slowly uncurl to be a butterfly

To Conclude

We hope you love our fairy wing template. Whether you choose to use them for simple colouring, stencils, patterns or templates we know you will have lots of fun using them in a range of craft or role-play activities.fairy
