An enchanted journey beckons! During this whimsical adventure we will hike to our fairy village to create miniature houses for fairies and woodland creatures! We will use natural materials like sticks, moss, acorns, bark, and pinecones to construct them and might even have one of Woodcock's resident animals come out to inspect our houses. We will end at the nature center to create some mini fairy house decorations that can help start a fairy house back at home.
