A Family's Fairy House Fun

A woman who attended the Enchanted Faire and submitted a fairy house in June 2023 was intrigued by the variety of fairy and other types of houses created for the event. Shortly after the event, her large extended family gathered to plan a family camping outing. She showed pictures of the event and some of the enchanted houses. She suggested they have a fairy house-creating activity at the campout, and everyone liked the idea.

Over the next month, people gathered various pieces of wood, bark, pinecones, moss, small stones, feathers, dried flowers, etc., for the fairy house activity.

When the family gathering was held, the creation of the fairy houses started. Several tables were covered with all the various items people had gathered to make the fairy houses. Glue guns were heated, an abundance of glue sticks were provided, the main pieces of wood were selected, and the fun began. Five adults and four children turned their creative minds loose, and concentration was evident on every face. They exclaimed at each other's ingenuity, offered ideas, and had fun. The bigger folks helped little hands do the problematic parts, but the ideas came from the Littles. Once the fairy houses were completed, they put the houses on display in the campground, including a fairy outhouse; after all, fairy campouts need an outhouse, too.

Later in the day, one of the adults noticed the fairy house made by the almost four-year-old was missing. When asked where his fairy house was, he said it was in their camper. When asked why it was in the camper, he said, " Because I don't want the fairies to get in it." How wonderful-he believed in the magic of fairies!
