The Fairytale Hairdresser and Thumbelina - activity pack

Join Kittie Lacey, the best hairdresser in all of Fairyland, in her latest adventure The Fairytale Hairdresser and Thumbelina.

It’s almost time for the Flower Festival and Kitty Lacey’s salon is bursting with people looking for a special floral hairstyle. This is the Flower People’s favourite time of year, but they have all mysteriously disappeared… All except for one: Thumbelina. But when Thumbelina vanishes too, can Kittie save the day with the help of a brave bluebird, a sprinkle of magic and some fabulous fairytale fashion?

Download the pack which includes a poster, flower fairies colouring sheet, spot the difference and mazes!

You could also win £100 worth of books for your library! Just tweet a picture of your Flower Festival activities and events by 24 September with the hashtags #TheFairytaleHairdresser and #KittieLacey, tagging @PuffinBooks and @readingagaency, to be in with a chance of winning.
