I've talked about our cabin in the woods here a bit. One of the neat things about being able to go there when I was a kid, was exploring in the woods. My mom basically let me run free when we were there. While exploring, I found this house that had a little mini-city built in the woods. I don't know why the guy who owned that cabin did it - or even if he had kids - but in my mind? It was a little city for fairies. I would check it out any time I was there. Since it was a vacation home, I never got to meet the people who lived there - but it was so magical to me.
Now that my kids are getting to the age that pretend play is in full force, I decided to start a little 'fairy town' in our backyard. We have a little bit of woods, so I found a good, out of the way place - and I put a stone that Cam made in daycare. And then a simple little 'house' to get them started.
I figure we can be 'surprised' and find it when we are out exploring in the back yard. I can't wait to see their reactions.

What a cute idea! I've always wanted a little fairy town in my yard and what a fun thing to do with kids. I may have to "borrow" this idea!
I love this! I have a bunch of fairy houses pinned to my pinterest board.
Love it - they need to watch the 3rd Tinkerbelle to go along with this.
