Fairy Garden

My daughter and I have been working on a fun project...we're creating a fairy garden. In case you don't know, a fairy garden is a place where the fairies live and right now we are getting the garden ready for winter so the fairies have a nice warm place to stay.  It's still a work in progress, but this is what we have added to our fairy garden so far.


This has been such a fabulous project because it is exciting to see the joy, imagination, and excitement that my daughter has for the fairy garden.  Plus it has been inexpensive.  I have only purchased a couple items, but everything else I had around the house .


We created our fairy garden under a nice tree in our yard.  The bird house, which is the fairy house, we found on clearance at the store.  It has a small door at the back for a perfect fairy entrance and the hole at the top is a great window.  We put some grass inside the house so it is soft and comfortable for the fairies.


We also put a small pot of food out for the fairies so they will know to come and stay.  We walked around our yard and found fairy-sized tomatoes, crab apples, seeds, and flowers.  The small flower pot is my daughter's that she used to grow her own sunflowers.  We turned it upside down and now it is a table for the fairies.  We also found a large flat rock as another fairy table.


Surrounding the fairy food and house we decorated the fairy garden with lots of pine cones and fake flower bouquets--they provide more shelter for the fairies.We found lots of pine cones for small trees
