What happens if you build a house for the fairies to live in?
Would they come to visit?

The story follows a young girl named Kristen into the woods where she builds a fairy house and then waits in anticipation for visitors. She's not disappointed. And, neither are the book's readers. In the wink of any eye, both kids and adults are out scouting for places to build their own fairy houses.

Although focused on the creative process of building small habitats for fairies to visit, the story skillfully weaves the lure and mystery of fairies into an awareness of the natural wonders around us every day, as seen in the house visitors.

For children of all ages who love nature. Fairy Houses was inspired by a summertime walk on an island off the coast of Maine.  Now the book and award-winning film, Kristen's Fairy House , will inspire your children!

Rules to Build a Fairy House
1. Fairy Houses should look so natural they are almost hidden. A location close to the ground is best.
2. You should use only natural materials. Dry grasses, leaves, sticks, pebbles and pinecones are just a few examples of materials to choose.
3. Be careful not to use or disturb any of nature's materials that are still living, especially flowers, ferns, mosses and lichen. Fairies do not like to disturb or destroy anything that is growing in nature.
Materials to Build a Fairy House
Season Materials
Spring Look for a quiet place at the base of a tree. Collect fallen branches and pine needles to construct a roof. Decorate with pinecones and a twig ladder.
Summer When you go to the beach look for driftwood, shells and pebbles A gull feather or two can be flags for your fairy house castle. Start with a foundation of wet sand and be creative.
Autumn Long dry grass can be the start of your house. Look for milkweed pods, nuts and thistles.
Winter Even in the winter you can make a small snow shelter under a low branch. Decorate with dry seed heads from last summers wild flowers.
