The Best Disney Fairies Books For Young Girls

If your daughter is a fan of the Disney Fairies series of movies then you may be inundated with gift choices due to the sheer variety of toys, books and other accessories available. If you are looking to purchase books based on Tinker Bell and her friends then you are in luck.

Unlike the toys where there are a number of "clankers" (excuse the pun-fans will understand!) the books released by Disney have been largely winners. After my daughter started showing interest in the series and I too became a fan after seeing the quality of the movies, I started looking around for resources to help her engage with reading and creating as well as activating her imagination.

I didn't have to look far.

The two main books about Tinkerbell and Pixie Hollow are "In the Realm Of the Never fairies" by Monique Peterson and "The World Of Fairies: At the Dawn of Pixie Hollow" by Calliope Glass. Both are large hardcover books with about 140 pages each and are filled to the brim with colourful drawings and lively descriptions.

Each of these titles is a perfect book for reading to your daughter while she falls asleep but also to inspire her to create when she is awake. Numerous details only touched upon in the movies are examined in great detail and the colors literally leap into your imagination, begging you to grab your coloring pencils and draw!

If your daughter is ready to draw but is intimidated drawing by herself then try "The Fairies of Pixie Hollow : Super Stickerific" book which includes over 700 stickers and heaps of coloring and activity pages. Kids can use the stickers and include them in their own illustrations and there are a number of doubles so they won't be concerned about using favourites.

For children who like to listen to tapes you can try the Tinker Bell Read along CD and book set or for older girls, the audio books of Gail Carson Levine's wonderful Fairy Haven trilogy which features the main characters in the movies as well as more fairies in Pixie Hollow.

These are just a few of the wonderful resources available to help bring the feeling of Pixie Hollow back home and ignite a young girl's imagination.

How to decorate a Greenhouse for a Tinker Bell Birthday Party?

Our daughter is having her 2nd Birthday party this Saturday. We have greenhouses on our property, and I thought that would be the perfect place to hold her party. (we dont have enough room in our house).

I need ideas on how to decorate the greenhouse for the party.
I would like to turn it into something that looks like Pixie Hallow.
We have a tinkerbell table cloth, plates, napkins.

But I need some creative ideas.
If you have any, please reply. Thank You.

Decorate in colors of purple, pink, and green, along with lots of glitter, gold or silver.

Create a heart-shaped sign that says "Welcome to Pixie Hollow Fairy Garden" and hang it right outside of the party room greenhouse.

Intertwine white Christmas lights in amongst the branches of your larger plants.

Hang fairy lights around the entire interior perimeter of the greenhouse.

Hang flower garlands around the doorway and accent greenhouse walls accordingly.

Hang Pixie Hollow fairy pictures on the walls.

Make giant toadstools, flowers, and trees out of cardboard or posterboard and paint accordingly to set around the green house. You might enlist the help of some creative teens from your local school's art class.

To darken your greenhouse, cover the ceiling with black butcher paper and decorate it with the various flowers, vines, balloons, etc. You can also add some Spanish moss to fill in the blank areas and make it look more Pixie Hollow-like.

Hang colored mosquito nets or pink or green glitter netting fabric on walls and accent with colorful paper butterflies, flowers, or anything that looks fairy-like.

Sprinkle shiny confetti on the table tops to represent pixie dust. Also, toss some on the guests as they arrive and start to go into Pixie Hollow.

Tie clusters of colorful balloons and place in the corners of the greenhouse. Also attach balloons to the kids' chairs.

Give everyone glittery fairy wands as they arrive.

Have some teens from a local school's drama department, dress up like Pixie Hollow fairies in appropriate colors. Fawn (orange), Iridessa (yellow), Rosetta (red), Silvermist (Blue), and Tinkerbell (green). Have them help out and act like the Pixie Hollow characters they are dressed as.
