Fun Freetime - Full Moon Fairy

For most people, the full moon comes and goes, and is maybe idly marked with superstition or nighttime activities, but I recently had a chance to see a sample of Full Moon Fairy, which aims to make the arrival of the full moon something more. 

Faye the Full Moon Fairy starts the magic by introducing readers to the wonders of the full moon. Then, each month, families receive a curated kit with activities and wisdom to help them celebrate the rhythm of the moon. The stories are nature-inspired, and also aim to teach kindness and empathy with one another, and respect and concern for the earth.

Each subscription box includes:

• A heartwarming hardbound bedtime story following the lunar calendar

• A whimsical craft or interactive surprise, revealed on the morning of the full moon

• Thoughtfully designed moments that spark creativity, connection, and reflection

I loved the sample book I received. It was beautifully illustrated, magical and warm. I also love the conscious thought behind not only the story and traditions, but the efforts towards sustainability as well.

Every element of Full Moon Fairy subscription (starting at $17.95/month), from its 14 original stories and Montessori-inspired trinkets to its ethically handmade stuffie collection, is sustainably sourced and mindfully crafted using organic materials. Additionally, the Full Moon Fairy Gift Set is available on Amazon ($24.95), a lovely one-time introduction to the magic. Explore other items on the brand’s site here to enhance the experience or shop on Barnes and Noble.

Full Moon Fairy was lovingly created by Karly, a mother of two navigating the tender “magic years (8 and under).” Like many parents, she craved meaningful ways to connect with her children and pass down timeless values, without rushing through the moments that matter most. She improvised bedtime stories and went scavenging for educational knick-knacks to accompany the fables, developing the character of Faye the Fully Moon Fair along the way. This brought joy to her family and became a cherished family ritual.

Her daydreams of creating such a place for others evolved into the Full Moon Fairy experience, bringing her 20-plus years of experience in the fashion and wellness industries, and eternally inspired by her kids, to her next great adventure.

Full Moon Fairy is a monthly interactive storytelling and craft experience for families with young children. Designed to inspire connection, creativity, and a love of nature, each kit helps families build meaningful traditions centered around the lunar cycle. Follow the magic on Instagram @full_moon_fairy.
