I discovered Dragonfly Shops and Gardens after buying a book called Fun and Educational Places to go With Kids and Adults in Southern California. The book is $25.50 (including shipping and tax!), if you get it from the site or retails for $24.95 at book stores. You can get it at Dragonfly Shops and Gardens too! The book is like 3 inches thick and worth EVERY penny! Trust me!
In the book I stumbled across a Fairy Garden Making class.
Ummm, yes please!!
But don’t think that a fairy garden is just for lil’ girls!
See how Eli boy-ified his Fairy Garden…
First you paint the flower pot and make mini birdhouses…
All throughout the class you sprinkle fairy dust into the garden.
And yep, it’s the real deal!! (wink)
Dirt is fun for boys.
Included in the price of the class ($20) is the whole garden (pot, 2 mini plants, arbor, birdhouse, arbor, mini butterfly, frog AND ladybug) and you can buy lil’ extras from the shop if you like. (But I’m sure they can add up so if you take your kiddo you might want to set a limit ahead of time!)
Eli brought superheros and pirates to add to his garden.
The Fairy Garden has officially been Boy-ified!!!
If you head into Dragonfly Shops and Gardens, mention Eli’s Lids and get 20% off.
More on the shop this week!!!
