CURTAIN UP Booklet 134 Elves, Fairies, Magical Air

CURTAIN UP Booklet 134 Elves, Fairies, Magical Air Curtain up for the world of the silent, invisible people in the air! In this issue we take our young and old readers to see the elves and fairies. Together we listen to stories about a fairy queen's miraculous flower and its healing properties, about Irish fairy tales such as that of the queen of elves, who appears as a white calf to a shepherd playing the bagpipes in order to confuse him and his flock. We also learn something about the enchanting melody of the light elves to Johanni, which is so tempting that a musician is put to a hard test. We linger in our dream for a moment and learn to paint it, and then get to know recipes such as elf bread and elf drink, we face the riddles of the airy nature beings several times, sing elf dance songs on a warm summer night and make an elf dance mobile out of fairytale wool. The removable handicraft sheet contains a movable, spring-blooming meadow picture in which elves can be moved according to a story. A fairy appears to Zwichtel, who then embarks on a sometimes sticky-sugary wish-journey that ends with magical news for him and our children! This and much more lies behind an almost transparent curtain in Land Everywhere. We know the way there. Curtain up for elves, fairies, magic skies! In the parent part we explain the background of our stories, poems and pictures on the subject of elves and fairies and you receive suggestions for the Irish fairy tales from a pedagogical point of view. In our media section you will also find information about the study on "New media use in the context of reform pedagogy" by Alanus University and instructions on how to make a flower fairy out of fairytale wool.
