Disney Fairy Treasure Hunt

My daughter and I are so excited about the all-new Tinker Bell movie! We wanted to celebrate with a special fairy activity. We decided to do a DIY Fairy Treasure Hunt to get us in the mood for “The Pirate Fairy” movie, which looks like a wonderful adventure.

Speaking of adventures, fairies always seem to be going on them.

Birdies: In case the fairy needs a ride to travel a long distance

Coins: Always handy (and shiny)

Critters: Good company

Feathers: For playing and keeping the habitat cozy

Flowers: To make the jar feel homey

Keys: You never know what they’ll unlock

Treats: In case the fairy gets hungry

Then I made handwritten clues to guide the kids around the backyard to find all these items.

Each kid got their own empty Mason Jar. I decorated empty Mason Jars (large enough for a fairy to comfortable fit). To make it special, I added each fairies name as well as some ribbon and a gem.

The children had to go around as a group and find the items. Then after they found them all, I sprinkled glitter in their jars (aka fairy dust). For the grand finale, each child got “their” own fairy, including…
