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:
- Put some rocks in the bottom of your flower pot for drainage.
- Cover with dirt and plant your succulents.
- Add a path and furniture.
- Use moss for grass.
- Add decorations.
- 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!
