Cute Pumpkin Fairy Houses
There’s something magical when kids enter the dress up room here and appear in princess gowns and super hero outfits that transform their imaginations, appearance and confidence levels. I’ve shared the fairy garden tea party with my great nieces here before. The best fun ever. When pumpkin fairy houses appeared randomly across my feed? I knew that those sweet great nieces needed a pumpkin fairy village.
Our local extension has hosted fairy garden classes the past two years…and both of these fairy gardens have made their home among my great nieces’ fairy garden.
So fun to make and to gift…
So, to add to that village?
A Pumpkin Fairy House!
I couldn’t find a pumpkin quickly enough.
My thoughts?
Create a pumpkin fairy house for them. Perhaps it will spur on their creativity to create more.
Perfect fall project.
Great addition to their fairy village.
A wonderful creative project to extend their pumpkins lit for the season in a happy and magical way.

Notes
I’m not a fan of the creepy and scary this time of year.
But, sweet lit pumpkin fairy houses?
Yes, please!
An extension of those dress up days that will be over sooner than I’d like for those little ones in my life.
I found the little bench and bridge at Hobby Lobby…the fairies there seemed not the right scale for this house, so just their home is set and ready for them to appear.
Adding a bit of moss, dried flowers and gravel just was fitting for their home.
Here’s some of the great finds to help you create yours. Helping you find things to use, just brings me joy. Just click on the photos to shop…same great price…just helps the blog.
You can certainly keep playing to your heart’s content.
Maybe even make your theme for your trick or treaters a fairy one? A little more inviting for the littles here.
I’d LOVE to know in the comments what you would do with this idea!!
