When my daughter was younger, she was obsessed with fairies. She colored pictures of them, collected them, and read every book she could find about them.
One on particular trip to the library, she discovered a book series that grabbed her attention. She proceeded to read every book she could find from the series.
The Nicole the Beach Fairy features two girls, Kirsty and Rachel, and their magical adventures with their fairy friends.
Rainbow Magic Fairy: Nicole
The beach on Rainspell Island is littered with trash, and the sea creatures are in danger. It’s up to Kirsty, Rachel, and Nicole the Beach Fairy to help save the beach and the environment. But, when Jack Frost and his goblins interfere, how can they save the day?
After reading Nicole the Beach Fairy to or with your students, choose one or more of these beach-themed activities to bring the story to life.
- Kids of all ages can recreate this footprints in the sand canvas art.
- If you have mini ocean animals in your toy collection, add them to this ocean slime for hours of fun sensory play.
- If this book has sparked a discussion about ocean animals, these notebooking pages are perfect for recording facts and research.
- You’re budding artists may want to try their hand at chalk pastels. This set of Art at the Beach tutorials is the perfect place to start.
