Garden Homes for Fairy's and Gnome's

Love these hot summer days and warm summer nights. The sun has finally shown its bright light after we all have patiently been waiting upon its arrival! Summer seasons can be difficult trying to come up with new activities for you and your kids. I came across this fabulous outdoor activity from La Famille: notes from my nest blog. This is a great activity to spend some time outdoors in your own backyard! 

Supplies: 

Paint brushes

Paint

Wooden bird houses (from Michael's $1.00) 

Large Bowls from the Dollar Tree 

Potting Soil

Pea Gravel

Step1 : Begin by painting and decorating your wooden houses! 

Step 2: Drill holes into the bottom of your large bowls for water to drain through. Add pea gravel, potting soil, plants (or veggie plants would be fun), and then another layer of pea gravel to make the gardens. 

Step 3: 

Have the kids grab items from around the yard that they think can be apart of their fantasy garden. Leaves, flowers, rocks, sticks, etc. 

I love how they did this little Gnome clothes line! So cute!! 

Check out the little moss pathway!  

I hope you have fun with this summer garden activity! The boys with their Gnome Homes and the girls with their Fairy Gardens!
