Fairy Play

It's been a struggle to keep up with this blog I must admit.  I wanted to share a few pics from the fairy garden from the summer.  Most of these photos are from August.  The girls have turned a little corner of the lawn into a fairy garden with glass gems and silk flowers from the dollar store and a little zen garden set I found at Savers- win!

The girls loved it but I could never have expected how much.  Almost every day Ada is out there raking, shoveling, arranging stones and creating little stories for the fairies.  One day she decided there needed to be a sign, so she whipped this little beauty up with some Sharpies.

I'm sure I saw the idea to make a little house someplace, but neglected to pin, sorry.  We used a container from the recycling, shells from Florida, and mulch, bark, and rocks from the yard.  Ada calls it the tornado room for the fairies.

The garden changes daily and is currently decorated with chalk covered rocks :)

Ada found a newly emerged cicada which was very exciting.

One Pinterest activity we did was a cool texture painting activity from "Growing a Jeweled Rose"
