How to Make a Fairy Garden

Have you ever wondered what a fairy’s favorite place would be? Find treasures in your yard and home to make your own tiny fairy garden — maybe a friend with wings will come and visit!

Supplies:

  • a flower pot
  • rocks
  • potting soil
  • succulents or flowers
  • moss
  • doll furniture or accessories
  • glitter
  • flower petals or anything interesting you find in your garden (I found a strawberry!)

Steps:

  1. Put some rocks in the bottom of your flower pot for drainage.
  2. Cover with dirt and plant your succulents.
  3. Add a path and furniture.
  4. Use moss for grass.
  5. Add decorations.
  6. Add glitter and petals where fairies have been!

Use your imagination to make a unique and magical place, and don’t forget to water the plants when needed! If you enjoyed this activity, we have a lot of fairy books at the library you might love, too!
