Male equivalent of a Fairy?

I think thats a lovely way of putting it, and I would probably not feel happy leaving my 3yr old, but would make sure it was only one of us going.

Also, I think its elfs? Or you could say "garden creatures"?

Thanks ladies! Elf is great! Now I can finish off the inserts!!!!

Christy - yeah, I know some wouldn't necessarily be happy to drop and run. I only added it because I didn't really know how to start it! Plus all the kids coming are friends from DD's Creche and they've all been going to creche together since the were babies... so nearly 3 years! except for 2 children, 1 is the child of a carer and my DD thinks they're sisters and the other is the DS of a good friend of mine... and I've already roped her in to help!

actually they fey are both sexes .... if you want to get really technical

for that age group I'd say Elf though they can be either.
In 'Ben and Holly' (yes I take all my advice from telly ) there are male and female fairies and elves. Its the dads like my DH (not all of them, just the ones who are like mine) you need to use the term elf to appease.
