Did you know I have fairies in my garden? Dinosaurs too! My friend Kirsten sent Hannah a wonderful gardening book that had an idea for a fairy garden using an old basket. Hannah received 3 little fairies in her Christmas stocking and Daniel received plastic dinosaurs in his. After a trip to our local op shop for a suitable basket ($4 bargain!) and a trip to the nursery for them to both pick out plants we were all set. The kids had a great time making these with only minimal help from Mum. They have been dutifully watering everyday too and there has already been some great play happening.
On a totally unrelated topic; have you checked out the Craft Hope etsy shop http://www.crafthope.com/? They are trying to raise money for Haiti with all profits going to Doctors without Borders. If I can I'll try to work out how to link their button to this blog? They are looking for donations but also have some great stuff to buy.
Keep smiling,
Nell

What a wonderful idea - I think we will have to make a dinosaur and a fairy garden at our house too - love that they could be moved around the yard, and that they are in recycled baskets - very cool!!!!
Have fun playing in your special gardens Han & Dan!
