Let's make a fairy garden!
Make your very own fairy garden so the fairies can come and play! This is an excellent idea for an activity for a birthday party, or just a lovely opportunity to get hands-on and let your creativity thrive! Perfect for ages 4 and up.
This is a super cute, easy craft to complete, and best of all, you can personalise it however you like. Add gems, coloured rocks, fairy decor and furniture, little toy animals and insects – get creative!
This is a great activity when you are entertaining a few children, they will have hours of fun building and decorating their fairy garden!
You will need:
- Coloured play doh (or you can make some yourself using water, salt, and food colouring)
- Paper Plates
- Fairy Door
- Other fun fairy accessories and fairy signs
- Coloured Gravel
- Wooden picket fence
- Stick on gems
- Mushrooms
- Plastic flowers
- Coloured gems
- Paper straws
Instructions:
- First decorate your door! You can do this with pens or paints. Wait until it’s dry, then decorate with some gems, stickers or whatever else you like!
- Take around 250g of play doh, and push it into your paper plate or bowl. It should be at least 3cm thick. Here’s a fun idea – add some glitter into the play doh for a sparkly effect!
- Now the fun bit – decorating! Start by pushing your door into the play doh. Now, add the fence, the fairy signs, and you might like to make a fairy path out of gravel and coloured stones. You could make a lamp post with paper straws and pom poms, and add some plastic flowers too, as well as mini plastic mushrooms. You might even like to use some toys.
- The clay will take about 24 hours to dry. In the meantime, you can keep decorating!
