Today we are going to take a magical trip to a wonderful place…your yard!
Fairy Gardens have been a long-time Pinterest trend we can’t get enough of. Not only do they give your garden much needed pizzazz, they’re great for your little ones. Children of any age love fantasy creatures, and sprinkling just a few of our Safari Ltd® fairies and mythical figurines around your backyard will instantly transform your it into your child’s imaginative playground.
You’ll need:
- Existing garden space OR a suitable planter.
- Soil and small plants and flowers.
- Rocks and other decorative items.
- Figurines of your choice. Some favorites are: Fairy Fantasies TOOB, Friendly Fairies Super TOOB, Gnome Family TOOB, Mythical Realms Figurines, and/or Dragons.
Directions:
- Make sure to place your planter in a good location so that it will experience limited direct weather exposure. Intense water and/or wind can wipe out even the most magical fairy gardens!
- Add some rock in the bottom of your planter for drainage.
- Add soil and plant flowers/plants.
- Plan out where you want your decorative elements.
- Arrange small houses and other items around the plants. Sprinkle in some decorative stones and pebbles!
- Last but not least, let the fairies loose! Arrange your fairies or other figurines in any playful manner you’d like. This is a great opportunity to get your little ones involved in imaginative role playing.
- Transforming your backyard into a magical fairy garden is a great way to get your kids playing outside and enjoying Mother Nature.
