Fairies and magic

Build a cosy home for woodland elves and fairies.

Head to the woods and hunt for natural building materials you can use to make an elf house.

Look for sticks, leaves, fallen flowers and seeds.
Think about the walls, roof, doors and windows. Don’t forget furniture!
Leave your forest friends a house-warming gift to welcome them to their new home.

Elves and fairies are very secretive, so you might not see much of your new neighbours!
