Emma made this fairy village from sticks, flowers, stones, and leaves that she found around our yard. A potted tomato plant set the scene perfectly for this imaginative pretend play.
Wouldn’t you live here if you were a fairy?

You’re right, the tomato plant is perfect – letting the light through and not overwhelming Emma’s display.

August 19, 2010 at 2:34 amFun! Wouldn’t it be fun to draw little paper houses and stick them on popsicle sticks, and the kids could stick them in different pots around the yard?
