Directions:

  • First things first – cut off a small section of your large paper plate to make the bottom of the fairy house flat.
  • Discard the small piece you just cut off.
  • Next up – if need be – paint the paper plate completely green with craft paint. If you bought pre-colored green paper plates, skip this step.
  • If painting, set aside the paper plate to let it dry completely.
  • Now download and print the FREE fairy house printout listed above in the supply list.
  • Print out the file in color on a single sheet of white cardstock. You only need to print one out per craft.
  • Go ahead and color in the cactus pieces GREEN and the single door piece however you like.
  • Use the Sharpie marker to draw on “spikes” on paper pieces you just colored green green.
  • Once everything is colored, use scissors to trim out each section in the printable.
  • Now decide which windows you are going to use for your craft {you only need two windows.} There are several different versions of fairies in windows.
  • Next up – grab your trimmed down paper plate piece from earlier, the stapler and the school glue.
  • Start gluing and stapling your paper pieces to the paper plate, in their designated spots. The cactus pieces will go towards the top/sides and I highly suggest you start with the large oval pieces & work from there.
  • Now go ahead and also glue/staple the flowers on top of the paper plate to create a roof line.
  • At this point in time you can use the black Sharpie marker again, to draw on “spikes” in any blank areas that you think need some filler.
  • Now add anything else you like for that custom look {like some stickers or glitter!} before displaying proudly!

Modify as Needed - Feel free to adapt materials or steps to meet your child's abilities and safety needs. For example, substitute scissors with safety scissors if necessary. Keep an Eye on Allergies - Be mindful of potential allergens in craft materials like glue, paint, or certain fabrics. Opt for non-toxic and hypoallergenic options whenever possible.
