Idea number 1. Create A Fairy Garden For Kids
Creating a fairy garden means creating a magical world with fairies, fairy houses, and miniatures hidden in the "woods" or between plants. A perfect project for your kids (and adults lol) !
I have created my own fairy garden furniture, fairy houses, and more, but it doesn't need to be this "complicated" and you and your kids can have a great time creating them, indoors or outdoors.
Let's see how to proceed, starting with:
The materials needed to create a fairy garden:
- A shallow container or pot
- Potting soil
- Miniature plants (such as succulents or ferns)
- Small rocks or pebbles
- Miniature fairy figurines or other accessories (such as tiny benches, bridges, or birdhouses)
- Twigs or sticks
- String or twine
- Glue
I have found that on several platforms, like Etsy, you can find multiple sellers for fairy garden kits for kids.
A simple walkthrough for an easy fairy garden for kids:
- Select a shallow pot or container of any kind to place your fairy garden in, it can be any kind, as long as it is not too deep to place the mini plants in.
- Add potting soil to the container, leave enough space to place miniature plants and accessories
- The easiest plants to add to a fairy garden are succulents, but I have written an extensive list of miniature plants that you could use in any garden.
- You can add any garden accessories, like pebbles, pieces of wood, rocks, archways, etc
- The time is come to now add your fairies, gnomes, or other figurines that you prefer and other accessories like little mailboxes, fairy bridges, benches, mushrooms, birdhouses, little fences, etc. This will add to the magical atmosphere.
- Finally, you can add also outdoor miniature lights to have your fairy garden glowing in the dark 🙂
