Episode Episode 5 - The Faerie Thorn
Welcome to the next episode of Dragonfly Tales, a story podcast for children of all ages.
This episode is a tale from Northern Ireland about the mystical and magical Faerie Thorn tree. I first heard the wonderful Liz Weir MBE tell a version of this at the Glens of Antrim Story Festival.
Here are the instructions for making Leo’s fairy tree:
You will need:
· A big sheet of blank paper and a pencil
· Some prittstick or gloopy glue
· Some twigs and branches
· Lots of different sized leaves
· Some little gems or shiny buttons
· And some glitter
First, draw an outline of a tree in winter on your paper. Try to make your branches nice and big and do lots of them.
Next, using your glue, stick your twigs down over your outline so you have a winter tree.
Next turn your tree into a summer tree by sticking on your leaves. The more leaves you add the fuller your tree will look.
You can also add little flowers to your tree too – to make it more spring like.
Finally, to make it a fairy tree, stick some gems or buttons onto your tree and then shake over some glitter. And now you have a magical fairy tree!
You can find photos of Leo's tree and the REAL Faerie Thorn in our Dragonfly Tales Podcast Group.
