Mermaid Party!

What a wonderful time we had yesterday at Yana the Beautiful Mermaid’s 6th birthday party! Billy the Pirate got stuck in to a story about a mermaid (and a fair amount of the birthday cake!), we decorated treasure chests, pinned the flower on the mermaid, swam to the magical mermaid islands and hunted for a sea serpent’s treasure! Thanks so much Yana and Charlene for inviting us to entertain at your party! ๐Ÿ˜€ xxx

Folk Tales at Banchory Primary School and Nursery

Here are some photos from our visit Banchory Primary School taken back in May. Fizzy the Fairy and Iย told some local folk tales and helped the pupils understand how important storytellers were in our past and how they will continue to entertain, educate and make us laugh into the future ๐Ÿ™‚

The storytelling was part of a collaborative art project with local artist Paul Barnes which was sponsored by the Woodend Barn. ย The classes had a workshop with Paul and created art inspired by his work and the local environment and fairy/folk tales. ย 

Pauline and Fizzy visit Drummuir Castle

Last night Fizzy and I were at Drummuir Castle near Keith telling stories and singing ballads. Well, she wasn’t singing. Just me. But her presence by the younger members of the audience was enjoyed!
We really enjoyed our surroundings though. Fizzy clearly feels she was born to this kind of life ๐Ÿ˜€
Thanks Drummuir and your visitors for inviting us to entertain you!

A Wee Superhero!

Wow! We had so much Superhero Fun at Rory’s 4th birthday party last weekend ๐Ÿ˜€
Professor Sinclair from the Scottish Superhero Academy was there to look for any Kinneff Kids starting to display unusual powers – super speed, flying rings round everyone, becoming invisible when their parents call them, astounding abilities to eat ALL the sweeties in the cupboards! You name it ๐Ÿ˜‰ We had a story about Marvel’s Thor and his brother Loki followed by some superhero games, making masks (as a disguise is always important if you have a secret identity!) and finishing off with glitter tattoos!
Thanks so much Rory for having us along! ๐Ÿ˜€

Fizzy and Fuzzy hit Glastonbury!

As you may have noticed, we have been away over the summer performing at festivals, telling stories, painting faces and hanging out with fairies! Now you can see what Fizzy The Fairy and her brother Fuzzy learned at Glastonbury Festival (official). The Kidz Field has free activities for children (of all ages ๐Ÿ˜‰ ) including George’s Samba Workshop! Fizzy and Fuzzy spent a lot of time in the Kidz Field Camping with George learning vital drumming skills and took me along to see them perform! I’m SO impressed.
