A Terrarium - a faerie garden

Would you like to make a garden for the Faeries to play in while its cold and snowy outside? We know that the winter Faeries love being out in the cold but some faeries, like Faerie Sweetpea like to have somewhere nice and warm to sleep. To make a terrarium you will need a big glass jar or bowl; some soil (with a sprinkle of faerie dust); some precious stones or some moss or grass seed; some gems (the help to keep it warm); and something soft to make into a faerie bed.

• Place the gems at the bottom of the jar. Then for the next layer sprinkle some soil along with the Faerie dust, enough to give the moss or grass something to grow in. If you are using grass seed you can sprinkle it on and then another thin layer of soil. If you have some moss you can gently put it enough in to cover the soil. You should now have some beautiful sparkly layers to your Faerie garden.
• You can make a bed for the faeries to sleep in out of something lovely and soft like some wool or feathers. A nice spot for your terrarium would be near a window so the Faeries can see it easily! Please don't put a lid on the jar otherwise the faeries might not be able to get inside!! We hope you have lots of visitors to your indoor Faerie garden.
