Craft A Fairy House: Section A

  • This event has passed.

Children – and those young at heart – love to play in the woods, so building a fairy house is a great way to nurture an appreciation of the natural world and exercise the imagination! Work with foraged twigs, bark, leaves, cones, and other botanicals to construct an enchanting garden home for fairies, elves, and trolls. Turn a walk in the woods into magical memories for you and your favorite youngster! Dress for the weather; class is held rain or shine.

Children ages 5 to 17 must be accompanied by an adult.

This program takes place in-person (at Mt. Cuba Center) Saturday, June 11

$8 for adult, $15 for kids (max 3 kids/adult)
