Purple Day Episode 47

About this Story: Grandpa Ivy & the Fairy Baby

This week, we hear the story of Grandpa Ivy & the Fairy Baby. One full moon night, Grandpa Ivy is in his garden when he finds a fairy baby crying in one of his tulips. The fairy baby’s mama was out dancing under the full moon and left her baby in Grandpa Ivy’s garden, knowing she would be safe there. Grandpa Ivy keeps an eye on the fairy baby until her mama returns, rocking her back to sleep when she wakes.

About Purple Day

The Purple Day Podcast is the audio from our Monday episodes of Storytime in the Schoolhouse. (Please note: Storytime is written and recorded for the screen, and some elements of It will transfer better than others.) 

Every Purple Day, or Monday, we are inside the Schoolhouse for circle time and storytime. 

During circle time, we enjoy singing and reciting nature-based, seasonal songs and poems. We start a new circle time at the beginning of each month and slowly learn the songs and poems together throughout the month. We also practice a deep breathing exercise on Mondays. 

After circle time, we listen to a story together. Ms. Becca tells us a Grandpa Ivy story the first week of each month.
