Okay, I’ve got one more round of Olympic fun for you! Since my girls are really into all things tiny (i.e. fairies), we decided to do some itty bitty Olympic events. Here’s what we did:
Wind & Clouds – The weather fairies have to blow the clouds away, so the sun can shine on Fairy Garden. Use a straw to blow cotton balls across a finish line, into a bucket turned on its side, or off the edge of a table. We blew ours off of a paper sun. (This is *great* for strengthening oral muscles, by the way!)
Penny Toss – We tossed pennies (aka fairy money) into an egg tray (aka the Fairy Bank).
Fairy Soup – We carried pom poms and jewel beads on tiny spoons from our play tea set. We worked together to carry one piece at a time until we filled a tiny bowl — mmmm, fairy soup!
Straw Javelin Toss – We tossed our little plastic straw javelins, then measured how far they went.
Ah, this was fun — and all the fairies in the land came out to watch the events! 
And, as an added bonus, the girls zipped off to create their own mermaid and princess olympics when we were done!
Have a wonderful weekend!

You’re so right about blowing cottonballs to strengthen oral muscles. We started doing this with our son in speech therapy and it’s great.
What a cute idea, my daughter loves fairies.
Where did you get the adorable fairies? Love the ideas!

Oh, what a lovely panda! The Folkmanis puppets are popular in our house, but I haven’t tried the finger puppets…maybe you’ve just given me the motivation!
Take care
Oh I love the itty bitty olympics with the fairies watching! How fun is that? Great idea!
Moms who are planning fairy-themed birthday parties and searching for party activities will love your clever Itty-Bitty Fairy Olympics idea. How clever you are!
And best of all, even a teeny-tiny fairy-sized party budget can handle these fun and easy fairy games. I am going to add an article on my party-planning and advice site (www.askthepartyfairy.com) suggesting this one and crediting your site.
love it!
