Making Fairy Land with Recycled Materials


Making Fairy Land using recycled materials.
Using white glue I decorated some pebbles I had with glitter. The toadstools are champagne corks painted with red and white paint and the red fairy is made from a peg and some left over tulle. The house can be made out of any plastic container. Cut out the doors and windows in any position you like. I then drew with a permanent marker some vines, a pebble door frame and bushes - you could decorate however you want. I then used the same white glue (PVA) on the inside of the container, behind the drawings and covered with glitter.


I put some scraps of artificial turf, sand and some branches along with some small furniture I had to create a fairy scene.


This was a take-away food container. I also used a milk container.


The play scene created a lot of interest with all the children. On the second day we added outdoor blocks and cars and we had a whole fairy city!
