I often plant things in or around the fairy houses as my daughter takes care of them and checks on them to show that the fairies are thriving under her care.
Often it’s things like small feathers, flowers, glitter, pretty rocks, and so on. Today I tried unbroken geodes.
When she found them with a lot of excitement inside the houses we talked about how they were fairy treasures rocks, also called “geodes”. She thought of how to crack them open with a hammer herself and then she and her younger siblings had a lot of fun hitting the round rocks with a hammer until they opened to reveal the beautiful crystals inside. When we came back inside later that evening we watched some videos on how geodes are formed and how crystals are made.
