![fall fairy](/sites/default/files/2023-07/fairy_houses_fall_.jpg)
Explore the magical world of fairy houses at OMSP! Build your own fairy house with park interpreters in the Enchanted Garden!
We encourage you to bring materials from your home/yard for your Fairy House "enhancements." The list below details approved building materials!
Approved "Building" Materials:
- Fresh flowers
- Dried Flowers
- Pine cones of assorted sizes and shapes
- Lichens and lichen covered sticks
- Sticks of assorted sizes and shapes
- Tree bark (some of you may have river birch trees or a fallen log where you can collect)
- Acorns and acorn caps
- Natural clay
- Small stones
- Seashells
- Moss (either harvested off private property or purchased at Hobby Lobby)
- Any other little natural items you find that you would like to include in your Fairy House!
Please NO glitter or plastic - fairies are allergic to these things (and a sneeze can crumple fairy wings!)
