Fairy garden ideas: 13 ways to bring some magic to your backyard

You’re never too old to bring some fairy garden ideas into your patch. From creating tiny, magical worlds in containers, adding intriguing doorways and windows to trees or making a secret clearing, you can keep family members – young and old – happy, creative and outdoors whatever the time of year.

The perfect way to bring character to your garden and keep children connected with nature, they can explore their imagination, develop fine motor skills and enjoy showing off the results. What’s more you don’t need endless space or expensive resources either. The most stunning results can be made from items already lying around the garden. Shallow containers can become gardens or reflective pools, pebbles can be painted, and logs can be transformed into fairy houses and villages with paint, marker pens or strong wood glue and scavenged treasures.

So if you're always on the lookout for new garden activities for kids to keep them occupied outdoors, creating some magical garden experiences is an easy way to get them outside, whatever the weather.

If you're looking for ways to keep the kids entertained outdoors during the holidays, our fairy garden ideas are just the ticket to inspire them to have some fun outside.
