MEET THE BIRTHDAY
GEM FAIRIES
Each month there is a special gem fairy who brings joy to children on their birthday. Who is your fairy? Find out below!
Garnet (January)
Garnet is a born leader and loves to celebrate! She kicks off each New Year by hosting a festive party with all the fairies and Animals of the Forest. It’s no surprise that her bubbly personality can encourage anyone to join her on the dance floor.
Amethyst (February)
Amethyst is one of the most loving and sweet fairies–literally! She’s known to always have an overflowing bowl of candy and chocolate ready to welcome you when you visit her Treehouse. Each year, Amethyst invites all the fairies to her home so they can create beautiful Valentine's Day cards with poems to pass out to the Animals of the Forest.
Aquamarine (March)
If there’s an ocean nearby, you’re sure to find Aquamarine in it! Searching for seashells, listening to the waves, and swimming are her favorite ways to stay active. She loves animals–especially sea turtles and dolphins. But shhh, don’t tell the Animals of the Forest this (she loves them too!). Another favorite pastime of Aquamarine is listening to records.
Diamond (April)
There are many facets to Diamond’s personality. She’s brilliant, thrives under pressure, and is very creative. All the fairies go to Diamond when they need inspiration designing birthday decorations and streamers. If you think her birthday decorations are impressive, you should check out how Diamond colors Easter Eggs!
Emerald (May)
April Showers Bring May Flowers! Which is very true for Emerald since she enjoys gardening and growing colorful flowers, especially lily of the valley. She loves to make people smile by helping them out when needed and by gifting them a beautiful bouquet of flowers.
Moonstone (June)
As you may have guessed by her name...Moonstone loves watching the moon and all the constellations that the stars form. When she’s not stargazing, her hobby is baking birthday cakes. She considers herself the Fairyland expert at making frosting. Yum!
Ruby (July)
Nobody can light up a room quite like Ruby does. From her bright eyes to firecracker personality, she’s the center of any summer party. Ruby always finds a way to recruit all the Birthday Gem Fairies to run outside and catch as many fireflies as they can with her.
Spinel (August)
Spinel takes pride in being one of the longest standing fairies in Fairyland. She finds joy in training the newest fairies on the best techniques to sprinkle fairy dust. Wonder how fairy dust gets made? Spinel knows the secret recipe, but her lips are sealed!
Sapphire (September)
Buzz…Buzz...Buzz…Sapphire’s favorite hobby is raising (and protecting!) bees. Honey is one of the fairies’ favorite foods, so you can always count on Sapphire for the best collection of the most delicious honey.
Opal (October)
Opal is known for her loud laugh and funny jokes, so it’s no surprise that Opal has won the funniest Halloween costume award for the last 5 years in a row! Can you guess what she’ll dress up as this year? I guess you’ll have to wait to see. One of her hobbies is to make caramel apples to share with her friends and the Animals of the Forest.
Topaz (November)
Turquoise (December)
Topaz loves exploring the world and learning new cultural traditions. From all her world travels, she’s collected many new recipes and loves to test them out in her kitchen. When she can’t decide on one meal to make for dinner, she invites all the Birthday Gem Fairies over and makes a huge feast.
Turquoise waits all year-round for the holiday season. Every day during the month of December, she finds time to decorate cookies, wrap presents, and make Christmas cards. She loves to give back and does so by delivering delicious treats to the Animals of the Forest throughout the month.
A FAIRY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
