Fairy coloring pages

These fairy coloring pages are set in a tiny world: a fairy riding a dragonfly over a pond, another gathering dewdrops from a spiderweb, a village built into the roots of an old tree and a ring of fairies dancing among toadstools by moonlight.

The baby fairy peeking out of a flower bud, the fairy on a spotted mushroom and the one holding up a firefly as a lantern are simple and large. The fairy garden with tiny furniture and the moonlit forest are detailed and suit older children.

Fairy wings look delicate when colored very lightly in pale blue, lilac or pink, with the edges left almost white so they seem to glow. A yellow center with a ring of white paper around it does the same for the fireflies.

Thumbelina sitting inside an open blossom with a ladybug comes from Andersen, and the two little elves stitching shoes by candlelight from The Elves and the Shoemaker. Their QR codes open the stories, both a good fit for bedtime reading.
