Recently on a visit to Mt St John, as we sat on a beautiful log in the shade of the trees, a fascinating conversation was had about fairies. The dialogue encompassed ideas such as size and scale, and the possibility of working to create not only houses for fairies, but also furniture and clothing. The girls began to theorize about the difference in size between people and fairies, and considered the natural materials which they could utilize to create fairy sized items.
“We could make the fairies some furniture...using all of the things of nature”
Priya explained.
Intrigued by the possibility of taking the girls interest in fairies in the direction of design, architecture and construction, utilizing natural resources, we caught hold of this idea. We came up with some questions to provoke the girls thinking and shared these during one of our morning meetings.
We asked the girls to share with us just how big they perceived fairies to be and there was a general consensus that they were indeed very small.
