How to make a fairy house!

My little girl is almost Three and totally obsessed with Fairies.

Books, dolls, outfits and films – she loves anything and everything Fairy. After a recent trip to birches valley where there is a fairy wood (there really is!) I decided we’d get the fairies to move into our garden.

To encourage fairies everyone knows you need to make them feel welcome – so I made a door out of an old piece of wood by firstly marking, (see photo below right) then sawing and then sanding it.

It’s not a perfect shape but that adds to the charm! I then added a handle (an old brass drawer handle) and attached to a fence post in the garden.

During the night something magical happened because the very next day when playing

in the garden, Betsy and Oscar came across the door, a line of Fairy washing and gold fairy dust sprinkled all around.

Magical!
