Printable Build A Sugar Plum Fairy!

Introducing – The Sugar Plum Fairies!

blank

If you are a regular on my blog you’ll notice that my buildable characters have a cute chubby style.

And if they are animals they are anthropomorphic, which basically means that they have human traits – like standing on two legs instead of four.

I introduced my cute chubby roly-poly Christmas and Winter characters several years ago, and the set currently includes 22 characters.

I’m continuing to add new characters that I hope you will love as much as the others!

I couldn’t stick to just one colorway for the Sugar Plum Fairy, so there are six different hair colors and two skin tones, so you can make lots of Sugar Plum Fairies!

And another little secret, one of my nicknames as a kid was Sugar Plum Fairy, so I really had to design this buildable for Christmas!

Free Printable Sugar Plum Fairy Templates To Build

The Christmas and Winter buildable characters are part of a wider set of other characters that are a fun free activity to do at home, in an activity group or club, during homeschool, or in the classroom!

I’ve provided the links to all of my other buildable characters at the end of this blog post.

I’ve created two sizes for this cute free printable paper Sugar Plum Fairy: 

  • Regular size, with all of the pieces on one sheet of paper and creates a character around 4″/10cm tall. (This is the image below.)
  • Large size with the pieces spread over several sheets. This creates a character around 12″/30cm tall.
  • You’ll find the Color and Build A Sugar Plum Fairy over in the Purple Pumpkin Printables Shop.

The Nutcracker

The Sugar Plum Fairy is a character from The Nutcracker. She rules the beautiful Land of Sweets!

You can also download the free printable Build A Nutcracker!

The Nutcracker is an 1892 two-act ballet with a score by Tchaikovsky. It is adapted from E. T. A. Hoffmann’s 1816 short story “The Nutcracker and the Mouse King”.

Although the original production was not a success, the 20-minute suite that Tchaikovsky extracted from the ballet was. The complete Nutcracker has enjoyed enormous popularity since the late 1960s and is now performed by countless ballet companies, primarily during the Christmas season, especially in North America. The ballet’s score has been used in several film adaptations of Hoffmann’s story.

How To Use the Sugar Plum Fairy Printable

This papercraft helps children to improve their cutting and pasting skills while having some festive Holiday fun!

The regular-size printable is for children that are more skilled at cutting.

The large size should be a lot easier for younger children. 

Or you can cut them out for them.

Of course, you know your children, so will know what suits them best!

Included in this printable paper Sugar Plum Fairy craft are the following pieces:

  • Fairy Wings (left and right)
  • Head/Body (2 skin tones)
  • Hair (6 hair colors)
  • Tutu Dress
  • Feet/Ballet Shoes
  • Arms
  • Fairy Wand

Once cut, place the pieces in the correct order to figure out where everything goes before sticking them in place.

You can stick the pieces together with a glue stick, or sticky tape.

I like using this roller glue as it is so easy to use and has less sticky mess!

For an extra crafty dimension, why not mount the character onto a larger piece of paper and use other craft materials to embellish it?

For example, glitter, furry fabric, craft foam, or tissue paper to name a few.

You can use a laminator and laminate the pieces if you like and use them over and over again.

Other Ways To Use This Printable!

  • Why not use split pins to construct the characters instead of glue so that the character becomes moveable!
  • You could use popsicle sticks and regular size characters to make little puppets for Christmas role-playing or storytelling.
  • You could attach the characters to some ribbon or string and hang them as bunting around the room for a holiday party or just as festive decoration!
  • Or why not number each of the pieces and turn it into a fun game with dice? Throw the dice and each time a number is rolled, you take that piece – the first one to complete their character is the winner! (Similar to the Roll A Bug game.)
  • Most of all, just have fun with this Christmas printable!

Download your chosen printable from the list further down the page (they’re surrounded by a purple box), and print onto thick paper or thin card. Cut the pieces out, then build a Sugar Plum Fairy!
