Hunting for the right location to build the fairy house.
A team effort.
The girls hang pine cones and seed decorations for the Butterfly Girl fairies.
Checking to see if the Butterfly Girls like their leaf bed.
The girls dance around their fairy house, doing the Butterfly Girl Congo.
More details are added….
…Sacha finds a feather and adds it to the top of the house.
And a short fence is posted all around the house along with pebbles.
Anna, the youngest student, runs up to me and announces that the Butterfly Girls are still sleeping. They must love the leaf bed we made them Marghanita.
How magical!

Your photos are amazing. Looks like fun was had by all!
Thanks Jackie, we all had so much fun.
The fairy houses you share are always the most magical! You’ve reminded me that I need to share our fairy house building fun from Yosemite. Look for it this Friday!
SO SO SO adorable! Thank you for providing tons of inspiration for my girls!
Can’t wait to view it Deb, thanks.
Oh Wendy, it’s an absolute pleasure. Wishing your girls a beautiful summer.
So beautiful and magical. They all look like they’re having so much fun and how creative are they?
Thanks Becky, the kids were so creative-a joy to watch.
I can feel the excitement with the girls running around camp looking after the Little Humbugs. They worked so carefully and creatively. Lots of magic this summer!
What great smiles on all the girls faces. I have four grandsons and they built a similar hut in the dry creek behind our home. They keep collecting treasures and stashing them in the hut. I will have to show them this picture. They might enjoy adding pinecones to their hut. Thanks for the post.
Thank you Joyce. How wonderful for the boys to be able to play in the dry creek. I’m sure they would love to add feathers and pine cones to their hut. Wishing the boys happy hunting. They may also like to make these:http://www.marghanita.com/nature-play-magic-seeds/
I love the collaboration and such a creative way to share
You have really captured their excitement. My little one said to me today “I think fairies live under our house.” I hope the do but wouldn’t they rather have their own little place too.
Oh Kristine-how wonderful!Your daughter just made my day, thanks for sharing.
I’m so happy to see these photos! I knew they were having a great time, but the pictures show they were having a fabulous, fantastic time! Thank you Marghanita.
Thank you Shelly. It was lovely to meet you and to have your wonderful daughter join in the class. I never thought it was going to be such a success and so much fun. Can’t wait to start the classes up again in the Fall-it will be interesting with the weather.
I came here after seeing a link of Debi’s blog (Go Explore Nature). This is just such a wonderful post — I remember making fairy houses with my sister and the two little girls who were our neighbors. I hadn’t thought of this in years, but Debi’s post and all yours brought those sweet memories back. I’m sure that these girls will have such warm memories of this experience as well!
