Over the past few weeks we’ve spent a lot of time in our garden at home as well as at our community garden. So when the kids got sick of pulling weeds I thought it’d be fun to change things around. After receiving The Pirate Fairy on Blu-ray for review I was inspired to let the kids have a little fun and encouraged them to build a fairy house in the garden.
They took the lead as soon as we collected a few simple supplies from around the garden beds and, with the help of friends, built a fun fairy house for the fairies to visit and play in when they came to the garden. After we got home I let them watch The Pirate Fairy. My son then had some great ideas about adding ships and water to the next area they build a house in.
Now whenever we head over to the community garden the kids start building more and recreating different rooms, houses, and ideas for their next fun fairy adventure. And I couldn’t be more happy to have content kids as I garden. Looking to build your own fairy house? It’s quite easy!
How to Build a Fairy House in the Garden
What you need:
- sticks
- leaves
- flowers
- bark
- rocks
What you do:
1. Let your child use their imagination to create a fairy house. That’s it! They take the lead on this one.
If you haven’t already picked up The Pirate Fairy on Blu-ray/DVD then definitely grab a copy. From the world of Peter Pan comes The Pirate Fairy, a swashbucklingnew adventure about Zarina, a smart and ambitious dust-keeper fairy who’s captivated by Blue Pixie Dust and its endless possibilities.
When Zarina’s wild ideas get her into trouble, she flees Pixie Hollow and joins forces with the scheming pirates of Skull Rock, who make her captain of their ship. Tinker Bell and her friends must embark on an epic adventure to find Zarina, and together they go sword-to-sword with the band of pirates led by a cabin boy named James, who’ll soon be known as Captain Hook himself.
With laughter, heart, magic and thrills, “The Pirate Fairy” set sail April 1, 2014 and is available on store shelves now.

Awesome idea! I’m totally doing this later today . My kids keep digging up the seedlings in our garden. They need a project.
This is such a great idea, thanks! Both of my kids love Pirate Fairy, we are definitely doing this.
No way, this is THE cutest thing I have ever seen!! Holy cow! 🙂 I bet Molly loves her new fairy garden!
This is a great idea! I think I’m going to have to try this with the grandkids the next time they come over!
This is so adorable. My daughter is 4 and LOVES fairies and Tinker Bell, it’s her birthday this month and I think this would make her day. 🙂
She did a fantastic job!! My kids love spending their free time outdoors. We haven’t seen the move yet but hopefully this weekend.
What a wonderfully creative idea!!! we will have to try this out when it warms up in here NY!! love it-thanks for sharing
This looks like such a lovely garden, I would love to be able to do this one day… but for now our yard is just cement.
What a cute idea! I have seen the smaller fairy garden versions, but never thought to put one in the actual garden! I love this idea and know my kids would love it too!
