Make a Milk Jug Fairy House!
My daughter, Honor (age 3), and I had a wonderful time together transforming a gallon milk jug into a fairy house for our ever-developing fairy garden.
I had Honor cut out rectangles from a foam sheet and then took those to make a shingled roof by hot gluing the pieces on the top of the jug. We also made a door and a chimney from foam sheets. The rest of the decorations were made with foam stickers that Honor placed all over the jug.
It certainly is a color addition to the fairy garden and sure to attract a magical new resident!

Fairy houses are on the list of things I want to do with my buddies. Many seem like they would be pretty complicated for kids to make but yours looks perfect! Young kids COULD do this!
