How To:
- Involve the kids in gathering all essential supplies that are necessary to create a fairy house. Take your kids to a natural environment to choose decorative objects for the fairy house and garden. You can go on a hiking trip to gather some leaves, moss, grass, and other natural materials. Also, you can visit a beach with kids to get seashells, stones, and other necessary items.
- Set up your workplace along with kids in an accessible area of your house. Place all the collected objects on a big table, and let your kids pick up the items in turns.
- Use the chosen huge basket or any other appropriate container to develop the fairy house.
- Use a solid plastic tray for creating the base of the fairy house. Building the fairy house on a big plastic tray lets you move it to a quiet place easily.
- Place grass or moss on the tray to give it an enchanting appearance similar to the fairy house.
- When developing the outdoors, begin with the large outdoor details such as doors, paths, and windows and then work on and add finer outdoor details such as fairy swings, mailboxes, and shrubs.
- Once the floor or ground is ready, then you can add adorable little furniture items using pieces of wood, rocks, shells, fabric scraps, paint, and buttons.
- Use decorative craft items, such as grass, leaves, moss, flowers, seashells, and rocks to decorate interiors as well as outdoors of the fairy house exquisitely.
- Sprinkle fairy dust or glitter to make the fairy house more adorable.

- You can also create fairy’s bed, place fake fur on the little bed, and ruffle it, so it looks like a little fairy had been sleeping there.
- Use low-temperature wood glue to stick all necessary decorative items in the fairy garden. Keep the glue close-by so no one walks on it.
- You can create a little swing for the fairy using the twine and tying twine to the twigs of wood.
- Encourage your kid’s imaginative spirit, critical thinking, and creativity to help him come up with new ideas while creating the fairy house.
- Once you complete making the fairy house, then you can move it in a perfect spot. You can place it in the yard, beside a bush, under the porch, any other environment with which your creation can blend wonderfully.
