Fairy and princess activities combine drawing with pretend play: draw fairies and princesses, design outfits and castles, make crowns and fairy houses, then invent a fairy tale. These themes are beloved by many kids and work for drawing, crafts and storytelling at home or in class.
Drawing activities
- A fairy. A simple body, a flowing dress, big wings and a wand.
