Looking for a fun and easy craft to spark your child’s imagination? These adorable fairy houses are the perfect DIY project! Inspired by Angela from ProjectswithKids.com, this craft is simple enough for kids to create independently. It can also be a thoughtful handmade gift for family and friend.
Angela’s 8-year-old daughter developed this idea, fueled by her love for all things fairy. They’re great for decorating your garden and can withstand rain when made with outdoor paint. However, bringing them inside during winter will help prevent the clay pots from cracking in colder temperatures.
Materials You’ll Need:
- Small terracotta pots
- Outdoor paint for the base
- Paint pens and permanent markers for decorating
- Small flowers or greenery for the top (optional)
How to Make Your Own Fairy Houses:
- Paint the base of the terracotta pot using outdoor paint. Let it dry completely.
- Use paint pens and permanent markers to decorate the pot with whimsical designs.
- Add little sprigs of flowers or greenery in the top hole for an extra magical touch.
- Place your fairy house in your garden or on a windowsill to invite some fairy magic into your home!
With spring just around the corner, this is a great project to start with little ones while working in the garden. It’s a fun and engaging way to encourage creativity and outdoor play. Get started today and watch their imaginations come to life!
