It turns out that the end of February holds a few fairy-filled days to celebrate!
One is
Tell a Fairy Tale Day on February 26th. According to Holiday Insights, it's a great opportunity to read your kids, or to read them to yourself!
Everybody loves a good fairy tale. They don’t have to begin with "Once upon a time..." but, they usually do, and after the happy ending, we love the idea of living happily ever after. Libraries and schools will often mark this day with special fairy tale readings and story hours, and we've got a bunch of
great costumes to bring the stories to life. We've got Snow White's wig, the Mad Hatter's Hat, Red Riding Hood's hood, plus woodsmen, witches, frog princes and wolf-grannies, and much more.
Then on February 28th is
National Tooth Fairy Day! This fairy's specialty is leaving small treasures under children's pillows in place of fallen baby teeth. Our comedic interpretation of the
Tooth Fairy is not likely to comfort children though. And even adults might not want this tooth fairy anywhere near them! Especially when accessorized with the cigar and pliers. (Cringe!)
But there are other occasions to celebrate the magic of
fairies and fairy tales. It looks like the North Carolina Renaissance Faire is going to be taking place in 2010 as the
1st Annual Midsummer Fairy Festival. We even found a
Fairy Convention Finder which can help you plan your fairy engagements in advance!
