Why do fairies have wands? |
by Brian Griffin (whyzz writer) >> more about the author
Fairies are magical, legendary creatures. A lot of times, when we see them in pictures or in movies, they are holding long, thin sticks, or magic wands! A lot of magical beings besides fairies have wands too. Think about the wizards in stories and movies.
Wands are used to focus magical energy. That means that energy in and around a persons body gathers in the wand. Then the wand acts like a pointing stick. It can send that magical energy in whatever direction the wand is pointed. Wands help fairies cast magical spells!
Some non-magical people use wands too! Think about musical conductors. They use wands or batons to tell members of an orchestra where the musical beats should happen and how fast they should play.
Wand Walk
Ask a grown-up in your family to take you on a walk or a hike. As you walk, take a look on the ground for fallen sticks that might make good wands! You probably won't be able to channel any magical energy (unless you're secretly a wizard!) but you can use it to play pretend!
