Weekend Fun: D.I.Y



It was a lovely Autumn day yesterday, and I wanted to get the kids outside. I had remember seeing this post over at The Magic Onion's and thought...''Now that will keep them busy for a while" haha.

What you will need.
  • An imagination
  • A miniature tree (it will need to be trimmed so it doesn't out-grow the fairy's.
  • Something to plant the garden into (we use an old terracotta pot, but you could use any thing you have on hand)
  • Some soil or potting mix (please read health warning on the bags)
  • Some moss or ready grass.
  • Any other little bits and piece you can find that would make fairy's happy.
 
 
Start by preparing your pot or what are using to plant the garden in, in our case it was pulling out weeds :)
 
Next fill with soil and pack down. We probably should have fill it closer to the top, ah well we know for next time now.
 
 
 
Now plant your tree and other plants if you have any.



Next is to place moss or grass on top of soil, leave a gap if you plan to have a pond.



Then its just matter of adding the final touches, Charlotte had spent ages making a tee pee out of twings for the fairy's to camp in...then along came Lola...the dog , she thought it was something she could eat, silly doggy.


Then its play time.


Hope you enjoy making your garden just as much as we did.


Note: Be sure to water the garden and to trim the tree.
