The two oldest boys wrote their own fairy tales and words cannot express how proud I am of them. I bought some fairy tale-themed scrapbook paper that one of our sons used to make his into a beautiful 8x8 bound book.
We did the Evan-Moor Pocket Books for Fairy Tales:
Here's a picture of our oldest making his elf for The Elves & The Shoemakers:
Super cute project, by the way, for multiple ages (we had 2 2yr olds, a 4 yr old, a 7 yr old and a 9 yr old make the pocket books. it was a fun family activity daily for a week).
Don't forget to watch some movies, too!

We did this unit last year- it was very fun!
A fun chapter book to read with your kids that goes a long with fairy tales is "The Secret History of Tom Trueheart" by Ian Beck. There is a sequel as well. All the major fairy tales are included in the story line. My kids had fun recognizing the stories.
