t-minus a few hours till halloween drops hardcore in our house but not till I share the fall fairy gardens we made in art class! scroll for details: 1 & 2: fairy house + gardens 3) storytime book: The Fall Fairy Gathering by Liza Gardner Walsh and Hazel Mitchell (they have a fairy book for each season and they’re all super adorable) 4) the sample garden I made ahead of class to give the girls a jumping-off point 5) Rose admiring her fairy garden 6) Rose’s actual fairy garden 7) some of what we used: moss (michael’s); moss rocks (amazon); assorted wood (dollar tree) 8) the rest of what we used (clockwise from middle): toadstool “fairies”; sheep; assorted mushrooms; little fruit-shaped fairy houses; frogs; unicorns (all from amazon). not pictured: black aquarium rocks as the base (dollar tree), purple “pixie dust” (decorative vase filler, michaels), maple leaf confetti as a finishing flourish (amazon —search for autumn nail art) and the actual plastic terrariums (dollar tree — you can order online!) 9) our fairy gardens in order: Rose’s, mine, Jane’s (with wood as a chimney lol) 10) some of the girls dedicated their gardens to themselves (“Alice’s fairy garden”) while others kept their fairy names simple (Evie, Lucy) and then others gave their fairies full names like Jane’s here (Ella Marin Smith); we also had an Alane Porchard Brown and a Twine Flower Banks 😆😆 so flipping cute we’ve been splitting art club into two groups (to keep the size manageable) which means tomorrow is fairy garden round two ✌🏻🍄🌳🧚🏻‍♀️🍃🍄✌🏻as a person who wrote a fairy house book the whole thing brings me just an absurd amount of joy 💫💫💫
