Anyone have fairy gardens to show off?

My 7yo grandson is quite smitten by them and I'm trying to get some ideas.

Hi @rainey I've never made one myself but I'm sure someone here will chime in with some good suggestions, in the meantime have a look at these.

Thanks so much for the link.

I think this one is just beyond cute!

I agree, really cute. You could even make a wire handle for it so it be hung from a branch.

Thats what lids are for

But then the fairies can't get in!


Perhaps a lid with a key hole drawn on it and a 'magic' key hanging from a little chain.

maybe he will also get interested in the sand art...? building ships in a bottle? etc. i had terrariums of carnivorous plants until i moved away to college. and the model railroad. i still daydream at times about an automagic bean sorting train set just because...
